Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois ready ?to beat the ambition? out of Joseph Parker

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

He's certainly going to be on the front foot. That's what he does. And Parker has fought two big punchers who have at least some stylistic similarities to Dubois, while Miller, Hrgovic, and AJ do not fight anything like Parker has been.

I don't think it's hard to predict that Parker's going to be fighting off the back foot while Dubois is going to be on the front foot trying to wear him down and land a big shot. He'll likely drop Parker in the process, but will Parker be able to get up, as he did vs Zhang? Dubois is also more active than Zhang and shot Wilder. So it will be harder for Parker to bank rounds. But Parker's recent experience is much more reflective of the kind of fight than Dubois'. So I think it would be foolish to overlook him for Dubois.

Parker is going to have to stand and fight at some point , and that's when the axe will fall. He won't be able to avoid The Destroyer all night.

Hence why I said Dubois would likely drop him. But he ate shots from Zhang and Wilder and got back up. I take it you're betting on a Dubois stoppage?

I always said Daniel Dubois had the most potential of the current crop of British fighters . I felt like with the right trainer, he could be similar to Joe Louis-- a sharp destructive short puncher with a punishing jab, hard cross and a knockout hook. He's not going to be champ as long as Louis reigned, but he's definitely becoming something of a machine

Hrgovic took the best Doobie could give, flush, and didn't get stopped or dropped by them.

He was stopped by cuts from headbutts that were then worsened by punches or vice versa.

Parker seriously needs to watch out for Doobies dirty tricks and the refs letting it slide.
