Looking forward to the fight tonight 🥊
I think Dubois takes too many punches so I'm going with AJ - can see him landing some solid straight rights.
Will be interesting if Dubois is able to get on the front foot and use his quick hands to give AJ trouble. |

This..... I think of Dubois takes too many shots too early it's going to be an easy night for AJ. Can't see it going beyond 7 |

I hope Dubois takes it but I feel it will go Joshua's way.
I think its a lot less certain than people are making out though. In my opinion, joshua has never actually beaten a top-tier fighter. Every elite fighter he has faced has beat him. People will disagree and say he beat Klitschko. Yes, he did, but he was well past his prime by then. |

Wouldn’t be a guaranteed defeat. He has been miles of it before and improved in a rematch.
Personally think his punch resistance is gone. He’s been a great ambassador for the sport, doesn’t need the money so should retire |

"Dubois is lighting him up
AJ is looking terrible "
He seems to struggle with fighters who have fast hands (Ruiz).
Maybe it's time for him to call it a day?
The look on Tyson Fury face at the KO seeing all that money float away! |

Wow, what big night of boxing and credit where it’s due Dubois, gone up in my estimation, fully deserved and absolutely done AJ up royally. Respect to both fighters but Dubois it’s your night for sure, proved me wrong. |

"So tonight who is watching ? (If interested )
And who’s your money on ?
Post your predictions … rub your crystal ball 🔮
I’m going Dubois 5th round … "
Did you put any money on that? 💸
Gotta chuckle at some of those fanboy AJ predictions  |

Got to love Dubois.
Took a lot of flack in the build up and people thought AJ would walk it.
So glad he now can rightfully say he is a world champion having won that match, as opposed to being given the belt. |

Dubois is no slouch, made light work of a former heavyweight champion really.
In my view, aj has never recovered from that donkey punch on the back of the head, was unstoppable, winning every fight till then. Sometimes things happen and it can be a split second like that, but he's lost all that pre 2019 killer instinct, probably never to return. |

"AJ has never looked like realising his potential, time is not on his side. Dubois was hungrier, younger and the better fighter on the night."
He’s a former unified heavyweight champion of the world 🤣🤣😂 |

I’ve probably watched Dubois more than most on this forum and although I like AJ, I am far from a fanboy. I just genuinely didn’t think Dubois had it in him. |

I thought Dubois would be too stiff and get picked off but he went out like a man possessed. He legitimately hurt Usyk and did that to AJ. If he can put it together mentally and physically and go on a run there are some great fights for him.
Always laugh when I see people who have never trained a day in their lives on line or in pubs criticising or mocking fighters. |

Did you put any money on that? 💸 I've watched him for years. I personally thought that aj would be to clever. His game plan was thrown out when dd flew out of the corner at the first bell.

I think I’ve missed one of his last 10 fights and I’ve never seen anything from him to suggest he could do what he did last night. Yes he’s powerful but always came up short against top fighters. |

I think that shows how bad the heavyweight division has been. He’s so overhyped it’s unbelievable, he looks the part talks the talk but he doesn’t move enough and gets clocked. Big blokes with big punches takes its toll.
DDD absolutely deserved that last night and I think he was disrespected by having to wait for AJ. The ref could’ve called it sooner.
Are you not entertained  I certainly was! |

Wasn't so long ago dubois was being touted as someone to clean up all the division |

Dubois fought his fight and deserves credit for sticking to a plan and that counter that finally ended AJ was brilliantly timed and placed.
But AJ fought like he was new to boxing, chin up, low guard, no head movement, no lateral movement and never really established his jab properly either. Maybe he didn't take DDD seriously?
His corner need to take a hard look at themselves because whatever the game plan was it either didn't work or he didn't use it. All this 'roll the dice' talk isn't exactly encouraging either; you're supposed to have a proper plan not go in there and wing it. |

I thought joshua KO in 3, thought he would be to big and strong. How wrong was I!
The fight was one sided and there shouldn’t be a rematch.
The people in charge will cherry pick some lower ranked fighters who don’t stand a chance and reinflate joshua’s ego. While he is pulling in the crowds, they will keep bank rolling him. |

Does make all this focus of getting AJ v Fury a piss take. The thing I hate about boxing is it's a money grab by promoters and boxing authorities.
What I mean is less well known boxers don't get the opportunities AJ and Tyson Fury do.
It's a small club who keep getting the publicity build up and money thron at them. While if your face doesn't fit you have to struggle for recognition. It's must be the only sport where top ranked participants can keep avoiding each other.
Not helped by the droves of fair weather fans who will watch AJ,Fury Usyk etc. |

He’s a show pony and as long as he can put his gloves on he’ll be making more money from the morons who back him. He’s average at best and he’s been found out. I wouldn’t want to fight him mind  |

A.J didn't seem focused, confident or showing that hunger.
Dubois, on the other hand was the polar opposite and the results showed.
In the words of the immortal Apollo Creed "eye of the tiger, baby".
A.J's lost that. |

Did he ever have the eye of the tiger?
I’ve never really been a fan to be honest. He’s better off calling time now.
DD on the other hand was brilliant almost lost it right at the end but managed to take advantage of the poor guard. Didn’t look like a particularly hard shot but hit the button and the lights went out. I felt he was unlucky against Uysk and give him a good fight.
