Yeah it's tough to say what will happen. Their first fight was almost 2 years ago. Usyk had a lot of success by being aggressive last time and pushing Dubois back. I'm sure Dubois has prepared for it but he struggles against guys that press him and throw with volume. It'll be interesting to see if Usyk is as aggressive as he was before or if he's more defensive and boxes until he sees Dubois start to slow down.

i think Dubois is going to go for the throat, he needs to get Usyk out of there early or it isnt going to end well for him, Usyk just seems to tire people out with his constant footwork and movement, just making guys think for every second of the fight, and when they do slow down, he seems to pounce, the only guy i have seen it not work on was Chisora, who isnt really thinking about much when he is throwing leather

Most likely. I think Dubois will come out hot & heavy. Usyk may have to weather an early storm. I give Dubois a chance at a stoppage if he can manage it inside the first half. At around the midway point Usyk will just take over more and more each round the longer it goes and will likely score either a late stoppage or UD.

The king of rematches is talking about rematching Joshua or Fury for his final fight despite being 2-0 up against them both.

And if he gets knocked out, we will have to see the rubber match between him and Dubois. And even Chisora might get another fight.

He will spend his entire 8-year HW career fighting 5 HWs when all is said and done.

And people will pay for it. And people on here will clap like the retarded seals that they are, because they love nothing more than seeing the same thing over and over and over again.

Why Usyk is bad? He had tittle fights vs undefeated in pro boxing guys in their physical prime, he had fought on foreign soil vs tickets sellers and guys who were or are undefeated at HW. He had win vs guy who was 2x Olympic Silver medalist, he had fight vs Beterbiev in ams and unlike Loma he is 100x lesser cocky and ....he was over the hill after WBSS and still.
 
I never understood the hate Usyk got for that low blow. Even if it was a legal body shot that hurt him, the ref ruled it a low blow. What fighter wouldn't take that time to recover? What trainer would not tell his fighter to not take advantage of that? Do people think Usyk should've been like, "Nah ref it was a legal body shot. Rule it a knockdown and let me lose the round." Dubois would've done the same. Dubois was going low repeatedly anyway.

Usyk outboxes Duboi again in the rematch and wouldn't be surprised if he stops him again.
 
Pacquiaos and Bam Rodriguez are fighting on their own cards as well on the same day.

yeah, Usyk isnt stupid, he isnt going to go about it like Joshua did. he will know the storm is heading his way and act accordingly

Genuinely shocked/surprised by this. Maybe DAZN/Al Turk have come in with some ridiculous offer, as Usyk has always struck me as a loyal type of fighter.

I just think that he outgrew K2 Promotions ever since signing with the Saudis (Skill Challenge Promotions). He no longer needs a co-promotional setup. Sounds to me like the Saudis are now handling everything for him in that regard. We're led to believe that he parted with Krassyuk on good terms though according to his farewell statement. I'm sure Usyk himself will address it soon if he already hasn't.

I don't know about DAZN but Turki not likely.

Turki focus is to get Gulf countries and especially Saudi Arabia more notable in global scene. Therefore princes and sheichs & other billionaires from this area wants big fights staged.

For Turki IMHO is absolutely po f ig who is champ.


If about proms like Eddie and Frank it is different.
Eddie loves clauses damn a lot and both these wants to see british champ ( i.e with U.K passport ).
 
A bit late in the day to save a few quid, usyk and krassyuk were a great team ?

yeah i don't get it either.

it's his final fight, he's already set for life, whatever he makes here will last him ten times over... don't ditch your friends now.

but then again, i have no idea how close they were personally. we probably all assume they're closer than they are because we see them together in front of a camera.

lots of speculation here, maybe his promoter tried to run him under the bus, we dont really know anything about other than they have split, thankfully, both parties so far have remained silent, no need to air dirty linen in public

The only thing I've heard since was Usyk's trainer comment on it and he said that Usyk wanted to go his own way. Or do his own thing. Something to that effect.

Edit. Found it.

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