    Enough of the nonsense.
    do people not remember that i think he quit x2 v usyk already, it would almost be like watching a re run of some sporting event, i dont think the money would be even close to being there either for it plus usyk is on his retirement milk run it seems

        Daniel couldn’t have fought usyk any worse in 2nd fight, came at him like a dopey bull waiting to get whacked.

            Dubois admitted that he finds southpaws difficult to deal with. The style match up will always favor Usyk. Only when he slows down with age or injury would Dubois be able to beat him imo. But even slower southpaws, like Zhang or Otto Wallin, might be surprisingly difficult for Dubois to deal with.

              I was almost right with very early knockout though! I knew DDD would walk onto something big early. Thought I was in the money there!

                  I was in attendance. Was crazy in the first 10 seconds and I thought Wardley was going to finish him in that round, although I didn’t actually see the KD properly I saw saw him go down.

                  But then by mid round 2 I could see what I was expecting and Dubois pedigree/jab was going to come into play a take over and I knew from there Dubois was likely going to stop him late because as tough as Wardley is you can’t get hit by that kind of power that consistently.

                  Was rooting for him all the way through though.

                    That being said, we have to talk about the 'age factor.' Usyk is nearing 40, and his lateral movement isn't as crisp as it was back in 2023. If Dubois can actually commit to a disciplined body attack (without the 'low blow' controversy this time) and use his size to wear Usyk down, he might have a path to victory. But honestly, unless Usyk's tank is completely empty, his ring IQ usually solves the Dubois puzzle by the mid-rounds
                    - - 3rd Usyk fight essential for Fat Heads who dominate the Boxing Fanbase...

                      Wardley just swang for the fences once he knew he could hurt DDD, technique out the window and stamina sapped.

                      He does have a tendency to do that, same v Clarke. Needs to learn to be patient and time his shots the way he does before he lands a big one.

                      Great fight to go to though! Would've been a fun night
