    Default Usyk already beat the only fighter who could have beaten him

    ... Usyk has done this TWICE now. And that fighter is Tyson Fury. I don't see Dubois winning the fight and to be honest, I see the fight going almost the same way the first fight went. With Usyk counterpunching Dubois and making him stop somewhere between round 6 and 10. I just think Dubois has the aura of a quitter, when considering the Joyce fight and Usyk I fight. I've seen warriors, to their disbenefit, fight with broken jaws just to secure a split decision. Some don't even get the split, some are brutally stopped while fighting with either broken hands, jaws, eye sockets... You name it.

    I know it sounds cruel, but this is the sport we have chosen. If it were easy then everyone would be fighting for the heavyweight title of the world. So either he will come out as if he is prepared to die, or he is going to quit again somewhere in the middle rounds. Can't blame him because if he is soft, then he is soft and things break and bruise on him easily and he feels the pain. So it is not to mock him for any frailty, but just being really honest here.

    Usyk is just too skilled. And will be too prepared to defend his titles. Also, in their "Face Off," on DAZN, Usyk said he has NO INTENTIONS of retiring after he fights Dubois. Signalling that he still has the drive and passion to train and get prepared for fights at his ripe old age of 38.

    Good luck to Dubois, however. I am surprised he got this far to be totally honest. It was not as if he was toiling away in obscurity, but there were other names fans had in their mouths other than his- from Whyte, to AJ, to Joyce, Fury, Hrgovic and even Nathan Gorman at one time. lolol... Yes, Nathan Gorman was seen as a potential boxing star in the UK.

    How do you see Usyk v Dubois II?

    Can't really see beyond a Usyk UD win or possible late stoppage.

    This is a very different Dubois to the first time round though where there are some views he quit. That won't happen this time.

    If Daniel did win by KO I wouldnt be shocked though. Usyk though for me just too clever and always finds a way.

    I'm in a whatsapp boxing group with twenty or so guys from work and I will say I'm very surprised that nearly half are picking Dubois by KO.

    Looking forward to it. It's a shame I'm not that keen on Dubois for some reason I can't put my finger on and you can't help but like Usyk. Would like to see a great fight though and see both boxers having some tricky moments.

    They are casuals, man. lol... Dubois is just a banger/puncher. I don't see him landing a big shot against Usyk any time in this fight. Not even a low blow type they had in their first match.

    I can only class myself as a casual these days to be fair.

    I’ve never met Dubois, so I don’t know the bloke at all, but ……

    He has all the physical attributes he needs, big strong and athletic. Decent but not outstanding technique and he can look a bit clumsy at times. People said the same thing about Sonny Liston and he turned out to be more than OK.

    I just can’t help feeling he lacks something in the mental toughness department. He is no quitter and no coward by any means, but he comes across as quite a passive character.

    If you know his back story, he has been completely dominated by his dad his whole life. Someone who is used to being dominated might not know what to do when the chips are down and you are alone in the ring?

    Now that I’ve said that, watch him spark Usyk out in two rounds 😂😂
