250 on Dubois, C'Mon Daniel son, you can do it

[Chaotic Progressor]

Let's go lads!

Joshua is sharp lately, more importantly believes in himself... even if his 4 wins were all kind of BS (Franklin took him 12 rounds, Helenius a 40 yr old journeyman on 1 week's notice, still took 7 rounds; Wallin he already beat 2 x before and regular sparring partner, and Ngannou a 38 yr old MMA fighter , obviously... the psychology still works, he believes in himself again. And, I heard Eddie Hearn talking about how Ben Davidson is giving him specific tactics per fight, like 'he's gonna do this, you do that' kind of thing. Which is what Joshua has wanted; he went into the Usyk fight not knowing wtf the gameplan was or what he was doing for example... basically said so himself.

But, Dubois hits just as hard, throws more combinations than Joshua does now, has a better chin IMO (took some wallops from Miller, Herg, and others and barely moved; Joshua does the chicken dance when he's hit clean), and he's younger, fitter, and has a better gas tank in general imo...

So, we'll see.

I think it's a bit of a case of who catches who first.

Can't stand AJ though too so really hoping Dubois can do it. C'Mon DDD!

Bad bet. Joshua more than likely catches him first and KOs him. Dubois is an absolute sucker for the straight right hand and Joshua's is world class.

Joshua only lost to Usyk because he didn't know what he was doing? This might be the worst excuse I've ever heard. He knew exactly what he was doing he just couldn't execute the gameplan in either fight.

Why you telling me like it's my excuse? Like I said, this is from him.

He lost because Usyk is better than him, quite simply, lol.

As for Dubois, yes that's quite possible - but people are also acting like Dubois and Don Charles are just completely unaware of this? lmao. As if they have no plan for this. As if they won't be expecting it. Like he's just gonna stand there for it n then be like 'doii!'.

We haven't seen Joshua in there with someone who can and will fight back, or near his level since... Jermaine fkn Franklin, who is a fringe contender, and dude took him 12 rounds and Joshua couldn't land that famous right. So, just bc he landed it on Ngannou ffs lol, people have recency biased and a bit deluded by that visual. He's not that confident and top tier opponents aren't that open. And a lot will be coming back at him.

Dubois has a great shot at an upset here.

Dubois slips on the ring entrance steps, concusses himself and gets sparked in the first 30 seconds.
Have that as a cover bet.

 

[pugilistico]

Dubois is susceptible to the 1-2 and straight right. He was eating rights like candy in his last fight. AJ throws it with more speed and power than Hrgovic.

I've never heard Joshua say he didn't know what he was doing when he fought Usyk (twice). If he actually did say this then he's just making an excuse to cope. Fighters do it all the time when they lose.

Don Charles is a good (not great) trainer but he can't fight for Dubois. Dubois literally is wide open for the straight right hand. Hrgovic landed them at will. Joshua's straight right is sharper, much more powerful, and timed better. I wouldn't say that Dubois has a great shot at an upset. He has a legitimate shot but that's because he's significantly younger than Joshua, athletic, and a big puncher himself.

He was asking people on the night, like randoms in the ring what they think he should do/his strategy should be lol.

Hearn said that recently too, in an interview, that he was 'confused and didn't know what to do' or something. Bc he wasn't aligned with his trainers and they weren't giving him specific tactics. He said Ben Davidson is like breaking fighters down and going 'they're going do this, you do this' type of thing, which is what he wanted/should be what every fighter expects by default. What else is a trainer for, other than to motivate.

Yeah... took Joshua 7 rounds to get rid of Helenius, a 40 yr old contender/nyon journeyman who came in on 1 week's notice...

But he's gonna just blow through Dubois like he's nothing? Lmao.

Ya'll are all deluded by seeing him destroy Ngannou. Got that recent image and visual seared in. He doesn't do that to top boxers, not once.

Big difference.

 

[tank666]

DDD can definitely win this wouldn't be shocked at all.

you're beginning to sound like a child

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

you're beginning to sound like a child

How so? Literally pointing out facts. Nothing childish about that.

 

[burningspear]

They both rely on the corners too much for me. Its easy to think AJ wins because of perception over the years but recent history prepares Dubois perfectly, Aj not so much.

i've never seen you before about a week ago on this site, and i have only seen you post about how you think Joshua is overated and tried to diminish his skills

if you look at it objectively, Joshua has possibly the best heavyweight resume since Lennox Lewis, im not comparing the two, but you are acting and sounding like he cant fight and has been knocked out everytime he gets hit

Wlad who had a super high KO ratio landed flush on him and couldn't him away, he has been stopped ONCE

Chinny fighters who "do the chicken dance" do not get stopped once in the HW division when fighting the big hitters

Also, i dont understand being a fan or hating certain fighters, its easier just to look away and not concern yourself with them, you seem to be getting all wound up and that is clouding your judgement

 

[Kevster]

We had people saying he messed up picking Wallin and plenty thought Ngannou would spark him after his showing against Fury.

Same old same old.

I have no idea why your response relates to my safe coverbet

Joshua was with 2 different trainers against Usyk. The first time he had his longtime trainer Robert McCracken. He kicked him to the curb after the first loss to Usyk. Then he went and recruited Robert Garcia & Angel Fernandez. They wanted him to be more aggressive and worked on specific tactics according to Garcia himself. As I said before, Joshua & Hearn naturally are going to make some excuses when they come up short. They had not 1 but 2 cracks at Usyk and couldn't solve him.

Joshua's current setup appears to be better with Davison & Lee Wylie (film study) but ultimately Usyk is just a bad match-up for him stylistically. That much is clear.

It wouldn’t be a shock and he is the champion after all. The problem is they have similar attributes but Joshua is the cleaner and better boxer. Better feet as well. The things that Dubois does well, Joshua does them a little better. However, these could be the 2 hardest hitting (relevant) HWs outside of zhang, so if one lands big first, that’ll probably be that.

Can’t wait for this fight

Well I was wrong. Your boy did it. Congrats.

Bravo good sir, bravo.
