Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois 2

[Mark TKO]

No he isn't.

I'll be wanting Usyk to win this one though hope we see him in a great brawl with him having a few tricky moments. Won't happen

[Denilson3.0]

That push by Dubois ? Dan cmon, it's kinda like he's controlled by remote control, he's just so unnatural. Dan's the typa guy where if you got ur smartphone out, he'd be like "Any good games on there ?"

Also this is gonna be a teaching moment bcoz the majority white crowd at Wembley will be quicker to cheer and support the Ukrainian, who doesn't live in England, can just speak the language over Dubois who was born and raised in England, where he has always lived, race will be put first and nationality in the toilet.

It'll be the same way it was in the USA, most of the white USA crowd supported McGregor over Mayweather because McGregor is white. Even when Wlad fought golden boy AJ a few yrs bk. I was in a bar at the time and it was 40& support for AJ and 60% for Wlad,

As for the fight ? Usyk has admittedly got out of shape he says he's 110kg (just over 17 stone) at the moment. Means that for the first time he hasn't been living the life. And Dubois is young, hungry, has good hand speed, and is a murderous puncher. I can see and upset. They all hang on too long.

DDD was the underdog against Miller, Hrgo and AJ. You people never learn

Dubois is a lot better than anyone thinks.

Usyk is a true professional and never out of shape. He can't afford to be with these giants he is always facing.

Oleksandr will retire after he beats the winner of AJ/Fury.

Oleksandr Usyk's team have provided their first statement n the Ukrainian's split with long-time promoter Alexander Krassyuk.

"This is a natural stage that many go through," said Lapin.

Like Mayweather, De La Hoya, Pacquiao, and Alvarez before him, Usyk reached a point where it was time to build something of his own.

He has a strong, professional team that has long taken over key areas — from training to brand development.

The decision was thoughtful, conflict-free, and made with respect for the shared experience and the understanding that everyone eventually follows their own path."

It remains to be seen whether Usyk will close out his career as a free agent or sign with a rival promotion".

I'm starting to look forward to this one and changing my mind re this being an easy night for Usyk. Still see him winning by decision but think Dubois now could give him problems.

I'm just happy it's taking place where it should and not in the isolation tank of Dubai . I like Dubois. Truth is he has improved. From the jab to scratching and clawing his way back after the two time "quitter" tag. That long power jab is no joke. But man he's awkward corny . I think he'll give Usyk a major moment or two but at the end Usyk will rise above and levels separate. It also would not shock me to see Dubois go right out and swing for the balls just to see what happens. Seriously. Because he's not "getting into the head" of Usyk with the character they are trying to make him. Usyk may be getting close to the exit door, but this isn't it.

I can't wait for Dubois and his mob to ring the life out of the 'we woz robbed' narrative. You'd think their efforts and energy would be better spent doing something to counter being hopelessly outboxed in the first fight. They are seriously barking up the wrong tree if they think any kind of psychological warfare is going to work with Usyk.

Take nothing away from Dubois form. There were spots in the Millar fight where I thought he might fold, but didn't. Gave him next to no chance against Hrgovic and less against Joshua. He's found a bit extra since folding against Joyce, almost folding against Lerena, and folding against Usyk. He's going to need every bit of that new found grit against Usyk. Unless Usyk gets old very quickly, I suspect it's still not going to be enough.
