Anthony Joshua v Daniel Dubois

[Primo Carnera]

I thought Joshua would win. I thought Dubois had a small puncher’s chance early, but wasn’t expecting that. Good luck to him.
But how the fuck can Joshua (the Challenger) have a rematch clause ? What an absolute load of bollocks that is. The sport is fucked.

AJ is the big draw which is why there may be a rematch.

Good exciting fight.

Basically a one way clause. Roles reversed and Dubois gets dominated like that he's likely sent packing on his way.

Yep , tell that to everyone else waiting in line. I like Joshua but that is complete bullshit.

Dubois wants to make the most amount of money and if it is against AJ then that is who it will be. You know how boxing works.

AJ was awful last night and got completely obliterated.

I'm happy.

2024 showed that all three were protected due to the golden age of ducking. Finally we get to move on from that and hopefully a new hierarchy of HW's with new faces will emerge especially when Usyk goes too.

AJ, Fury, Wilder pretty much avoided each other until Usyk came along and upset the little cosy bromance they had going on. To think that AJ will most likely never fight Fury or Wilder. These boxers and their promoters should have their licences revoked just for that alone.

Good riddance.

This has been a brutal year for Eddie Hearn. Without Turki Alalshikh, DAZN would be costing $300 a month.

The fight last night ?

Well I did predict Dubois would win. I really did. The fight was supposed to be a step-up for Dubois, but in reality it was a step-up for Joshua because he hasn't faced a genuine threat in over 2 years, while Dubois has been in the trenches.

When the bell rang AJ came out for a 'feeling out' first round, Dubois came for war.

It took AJ 4 rounds to realise he was in a fire fight. By then he was so damaged it barely mattered because for the rest of the fight Dubois beat Joshua like he owed him money.

AJ will always lose to top fighters who are prepared to punch with him and continue to do so EVEN when they were hurt. Not sure if he will ever have the answer to that blueprint. Not sure if he ever did.

But Ben Davison is a Boxing genius !!

The work he put in to turn AJ into a 3 time world champ has been...

No wait, that didn't happen. As you were!

AJ will always be a stiff fighter who doesn't move well, fights tall, doesn't move his head much and is more of a stiff puncher rather than a fluid boxer

Dubois just has his number. The Ruiz loss had a flukiness to it. This feels different.

Technically and mentally AJ looked like an absolute novice. He needs to quit the sport because whatever confidence he had early on in his career is now forever gone because he switched his style after Klitshko from a "don't give a FK go for broke" artist to a complete filled with doubt overthinker who can't make the right decision on the right time on when to go into boxing mode to when to go into firefighting mode.

Dubois is a fighter who is mainly effective when leading. The moment AJ came out and didn't try to dictate the fight he was done. But you know what ? Even if he had come out slinging to backing Dubois up early he would have lost. The rookie errors he was making was shocking, The first knockdown for example, backs up, chin in the air left hand by his waist. This fight also puts into perspective how good Hrgovic's chin is.

Last night also proved that losses dont mean sh*t as your coming through. I hope this shows all the fighters around to just jump in and test yourself against the best and if you lose you come again. The "0" means absolutely nothing and if this becomes the case boxing could born again and us as fans would be the winners. I also genuinely love how Dubois is just himself. He has a social awkwardness about him which is different from the polished AJ.

If AJ decides to take a rematch, he'll regret it. After all is said and done, he couldn't take Daniel's punches but Daniel was taking his. That's a recipe for disaster. Besides AJ was a beltless challenger. He shouldn't even get a rematch. I’d much rather see the division moving forward instead of the constant rematches

Enjoy your millions Femi and retire

P.S I know it's a meme that most ppl have probably seen flying around social media, but that last count was the only time I've seen a boxer try to pull off a breakdance (like that Raygun in the Olympics) move with one leg in the air and his tongue stuck to the floor.

[Mark TKO]

Don't see much point in a rematch really for this one. Hopefully the fury match up now gone out the window too. Serves them right.

Something else I noticed. Mcgregor isn't a knob at all is he....

lI thought Joshua would break Dubois down in about 6 rounds. Well, I got that one wrong

AJ looked utterly and totally shot, and he fought like he knew it. Dubois just walked right through him and bullied him.

Fair play to Joshua, he showed some heart, but absolutely nothing else. Fought like a novice, which I have never seen from a supposedly elite and experienced former champ.

I am not getting too excited about Dubois, as we have already seen his limitations. It’s easy to look good against someone offering close to nothing
