When he pulls himself together, as he did tonight, or against AJ, Miller, even, Dubois is a force to be reckoned with. The flaws he has manifested again in rounds 1 and 3, which is the strangest thing about Dubois - he can do great if he doesn't give up.
Dubois-Usyk III is unnecessary at this stage, even though the first fight remains a question. Usyk should give a chance to Kabayel at least.
Whatever controversy that was leftover from first fight was resolved in the rematch.
Yes and no, because the first one was a victory for Dubois to many, so he would have been the champ, and both would have gone differently. Anyway...

I think the same. But Wardley? Maybe Zhang or Wilder, Hrgovic even. Gassiev could be a good option for him. It's interesting if AJ will ever consider him an opponent, and while he is absolutely capable of outboxing him with ease, I doubt he can deliver and sustain what Daniel did.
Dubois looked slower than usual tonight. I think Usyk either KO's him again or wins a very wide decision because Dubois will fight extra cautiously to not get caught by any big punches that he doesn't see. Dubois never lost confidence against Wardley, Joshua, Hrgovic, or fat Baby Miller because he was regularly catching those guys with punches, so he was never lost or out of the fight. With Usyk he gets lost almost immediately in the fight. He's like a fish out of water. Too slow and ponderous and not sharp enough.
Every fighter always has a chance but I think these rematches with Dubois will just become easier for Usyk, regardless of his relatively "old boxing age".
