Comments Thread For: Scars inflicted by Oleksandr Usyk ?triggered? Daniel Dubois, says Johnny Nelson

I actually thought Dubois gave it a real go in the rematch. He looked like he believed he could overpower Usyk and kept trying to do it until the end.

Unfortunately for him, Usyk kept making him miss and kept making him pay for missing. He went down swinging twice, even if you question why he didn't get up.

At this point I'm not sure what style would work best against Usyk. He's starting to look like the best chance of someone beating him would be the second coming of Ali.

Yeah I feel like AJ is underrated as a boxer. He’s now mentally gone, gunshy and has always been a bit stiff with a small tank (from his bulk).

But the guy could work his reach, set traps and follow a game plan. Dubois is actually more robotic imo, lower IQ but is more of a natural fighter the way he tries to steamroll people.

AJ's performances against Usyk were underrated. He actually boxed with the guy for large parts of those fights.

Usyk may have improved since those fights (and AJ has regressed) but they were very competitive fights back then, albeit conclusively in Usyk's favour.

Why is everyone acting all surprised? What Oleksandr Uysk did to Daniel Dubois II on the weekend 'Anthony Joshua should have performed similar in his fight, and if Joshua ever gets the opportunity to rematch Dubois II. Don't be surprised if he punches Dubois off his feet and into the crowd. I don't and have never rated Daniel Dubois as an elite level fighter'.

It is not an all-time great win by Oleksandr Uysk II, it is a solid win that a true elite level heavyweight should be able to execute.

I have been stating for many months, that Don Charles and team Dubois have got way to high off their win vs Anthony Joshua I 'There are details in the action of fights, and Dubois's performance vs Joshua, believe it or not? Was not as dominant and impressive as many people claim. Anomalistic events had to occur in order for Dubois to win vs Joshua, and even still in that sort of fight? Anthony Joshua was weathering the storm and as the rounds progressed turning the fight around'.

Daniel Dubois has a heavyweight fighter is a front runner at top level 'If he is not dominating the fight, and he is encountering serious resistance vs any top level opponent. This has been in all of his fights, the beginning of his demise. Win or lose, I have detected Dubois's traits of being a front runner surface in all of his fights'.

Note: Daniel Dubois vs Anthony Joshua had his: Any Given Saturday: In reference to the NFL movie Any Given Sunday: 1999. People can go back and reference my views and posts in regards to Daniel Dubois, while everyone was declaring that Dubois was some sort of monster machine heavyweight fighter. I gave the man his credit, but I also very seriously gave this forecast? Daniel Dubois is a heavyweight fighter who will ether win in spectacular fashion or lose in spectacular fashion'.

And since that fight? What exactly has Daniel Dubois achieved? He has been smashed up once again by Oleksandr Uysk II.

They say it is difficult winning and becoming a Champion 'But what is even more difficult is staying at that level, especially if in reality? You are not on that level'.

Daniel Dubois in my opinion skill for skill is not on the level of ether Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua 'Even though he has one win over Joshua, this was mainly due to anomalistic type events occurring in order to create the opportunity and conditions for Daniel Dubois to seize the fight'.

This happens in other sports all the time, but? The difference is, in boxing most people have no idea how to measure the action 'or the level of a fighter's performance'.

There were times in the career of Usain Bolt, when he was beaten by athletes who were clearly not on his level 'It just so happened, that in those races he made technical mistakes, and his conditioning was under par in comparison to his usual championship form'.

Track Field analysis and statisticians would give credit to the sprinters who were able to beat Usain Bolt 'But they were aware that Usain Bolt did not execute his best race. Because his performances have all been measured and analysed in extreme detail'.

This is the precisely the situation Don Charles and Daniel Dubois found themselves in vs Anthony Joshua 'There is no area of boxing, where Daniel Dubois is a better fighter than Joshua. None. Dubois does not have better durability, endurance, technical skill, or boxing fundamentals'.

But Daniel Dubois was still able to win, because Anthony Joshua 'Turned up on fight night, and produced a record number of unforced errors and technical mistakes. From a pure technical perspective, he executed his worst ever professional fight in his career. And for me personally, that is the major factor in why he lost to Daniel Dubois'.

To conclude: The boxing community and media 'Have overrated that win, because? Many people even in the game, don't know how to analyse and measure performances accurately. It was a great win for Daniel Dubois, and he does deserve credit for showing the courage to seize his opportunity. But I have always known, that he is not an elite level fighter; he is not a better fighter than Anthony Joshua. And at some point in his career, that is going to show up inside the ring at top level' etc.

Nothing Psuedo-Philosophical about it. What triggered Dubois was Usyk punching him. Dubois came in riding a fantastic winning streak and was put in front of a very powerful Rubik's Cube.

Anthony Joshua can do nothing similar to Usyk.
