Comments Thread For: Partying Daniel Dubois was in the 'right frame of mind' for Oleksandr Usyk

I mean it’s not the normal thing you do before the biggest fight of your career but he did the same against AJ so this time because he didn’t get the win people are blaming this as a part of why he lost.. I think he’d of still lost if he turned up listening to music in his dressing room for three hours just to chill out before the fight like some guys like to do. If it’s his way of dealing with pressures of a big fight beforehand than that’s his decision.

Roy jones use to go play a full game of basketball the day of a title fight some guys just do things there way, but I’m saying he could of approached this fight in whatever way an Usyk would of still beat him because Usyk is just levels above him skill wise and that was the big evident thing in the fight not the fact he had a gathering with his friends and family before the fight.

In the mad rush to get from the Dubois house to the venue someone forgot to bring the chaos.

By the time they realized they'd left it at home it was too late to run back and grab it, despite Danny saying he'd go for a quick drive to retrieve it.

Unfortunately his car was parked so far away due to it not being accredited that it just wasnt possible.

That chaos amounted to the extra 75 % missing from Dubois being able to operate at full capacity.

Moral of the story. If you say your gonna bring Chaos, don't leave it at home while partying before the fight.

Non-story. It didn't even sound like Don Charles was saying it had any impact on the fight; he credited the quality of the opponent for the result.

I don't think the addition or subtraction of any pre-fight ritual would have made the results anything different than what it was: a comprehensive destruction of Dubois' by Usyk.

[QUOTE=Dolor;n32504080]He simply got demoralized by being outboxed and knocked down. Look at his face after the second knockdown - he nodded twice at his corner signaling them to throw in the towel. He just folded mentally.[/QUOTE]

I take 2 things from this story. Dubios father has grown a massive head from his sons financial success as shown by him threatening to cancel the fight over a few people not getting parking or tickets...and all the Dubios "clan" had predetermined Daniel winning that fight. I suspect that put an awful lot of pressure on Daniel...perhaps not before the fight but certainly once he started to get pieced up. He would have looked at his corner knowing that everybody elses dreams were going up in smoke and nothing could be done about it. Having all that money is great....but having his father look like a goof after i imagine the father has been spending the morning bigging up would be a hard come down.

Probably the last thing that you should inflict on a person on the Autism spectrum is a large gathering. It's exhausting to be around people, especially more than a couple. Daniel might be wise to become a man and get his super controlling father out of his life. It seems to me, and I could be totally wrong , that his dad plays Daniel like he is a video game character. His trainer can't even train him without every instruction being filtered thru and spoken by his father. In what world is that normal for even a child , much less a grown man ?

That said , Usyk is just a better fighter.
