... 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?
