How does Dubois beat Usyk

[NihonJim]

In my opinion there's only one way.

Chin down, elbows in, March forwards, pop pop, BOSH.

Keep it simple

NO going back, ever, no backwards steps, not even one backwards step, Usyk is much better when he's applying pressure

NO boxing, I don't want to see any fencing with the jabs, you will NOT outbox Usyk, don't even try, just March forwards, pop pop, BOSH

We know Dubois can throw 50-60 punches a round so that's what I want to see, if he gasses out and gets stopped, oh well.

We know if he tries to box with Usyk he will get stopped anyway so might as well put it on him and see if what nobody else at heavyweight has tried might work.

Accept you are going to get caught by Usyks sneaky shots, that's happening anyway, bite down on the gum shield, pop pop, BOSH

Dont let up the pressure, second and third phase attacks, if he slips under one shot, throw again, and again, pop pop, BOSH

so Usyk is pure boxer who is not GREAT on the back foot?

He's worse on the back foot than the front foot, see every fight he's had at heavyweight.

Pop pop, BOSH

[hugh grant]

Has to hurt usyk. Scramble his senses, or bodyshots

[LG Motel 22]

All I want is don Charles telling daniel, POP POP BOSH

[The Big Dunn]

Just do what he did last time, only lift the shot a bit higher to avoid any low blow controversy.

Even with that I think Usyk wins this one easier than the first one. He knows what’s coming now.

Usyk is too smart and talented to get caught again.

Same.

"What are you doing fannying about our there? POP POP, BOSH"

[hugh grant]

Usyk hypnotises you with his moves. Ddd will need to do less admiring and let his hands go once he's committed

[PerfectJab]

2 years ago I wanted to analyze Usyk to see where he was vulnerable. I just looked at the notes and think it is still valid:

- Usyk can’t fight on his back foot
- Body shots, obviously. He has no poker face when it comes to body shots. He really shows a reaction to them.
- When he uses his high guard he leans to the left or right to step out. There are times that he leans too far and exposes his sides. He got caught and hurt this way against Beterbiev.
- Head movement opponent. He has a real problem connecting then. In the first fight, the few times Dubois was showing head movement, Usyk missed about 6 punches in a row. (Dubois never countered him).
- He works a lot of of his jab, if he can't land it, he isn't comfortable. It messes with his rhythm. That's why he likes the stand-straight-head-in-the-middle guys.
- In-fighting. He has no in-fighting game and can't deliver any real power from there. He likes distance, so don't give him any. You have to crowd him and throw body shots like you mean it. But of course, this takes great stamina.

Usyk's strong point is mostly that he can keep his output very high even though he's exhausted and he gets exhausted, you can tell. He stops moving around a lot.
A heavyweight who also has great stamina, won't buckle mentally and takes advantage of the above has a really good chance of defeating Usyk.
(and use a lot of feints, don't let him read you)
