Comments Thread For: Muteness and mantras: the workouts of Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois

[landotter]

Until someone beats Usyk I am backing the man I have backed since before he was unified CW. All this talk about DuBois KO-ing Usyk is because everyone knows there is zero other way DuBois wins this. He will not command the ring over Usyk, he will not outwork Usyk, he will not adjust to the fight better than Usyk. DuBois 100% can KO Usyk into retirement. The man has power, and has shown some serious focus in the ring. His win over AJ was dominant. He is a threat.

But all I really see is Usyk playing it safe for a few rounds, let DuBois chase him around the ring, than slowly pick up the pace and the offense once he has figured out DuBois plans and just scoring often and convincingly as the fight goes on with his high revved motor and near endless gas tank. Usyk wins a UD that is not even as close as the scorecards will show.

I can't see Daniel walking away with the belts , D. will be in there with a chance because of his size, power and youth but Usyk is no Joshua , as has been proved and I look for Usyk to again stop him , maybe even earlier ...I hope for some things that I'm wrong but just don't see ...but it's boxing and I'll be glued as Danny is as good a test as anyone else out there.

If I have to choose who will win this rematch, I have two choices: the one is Uysk win by UD, and the other is DDD win by ko.

I will go one better and say that Usyk will stop him again. People underestimate Usyk stamina and what it does to his opponents in the second half of the fight. DDD will be exhausted and just give up - just like in the first fight.

I really like DDD but Olexander proved us many times that betting against him is not wise. My heart says Daniel but my brain screams Usyk. I don't have horse on this race since I root for both lads.
