Brilliant performance from Dubois.

Usyk’s record is looking even better now. Wins over every top heavyweight and potentially the guy to carry the flame going forward.

 

What Dubois has done, I dont think AJ has ever shown that ability.

"I'm heavy, it aint easy to throw combos"

Well AJ, ya man Dubois is hardly that much lighter than you and absolutely cleaned him out

 

Same old AJ really, no chin, gets rocked too easy. That was exactly like Ruiz fight.

I thought he was looking good in previous fights but I guess you can't fix his weakness. Fuzzy brain whenever he catches a hard shot.

 

Wooft, down like a sack of tatties

 

I thought Homer did better in his fight compared to AJ tonight

 

I think a lot of people got carried away by his performance Ngannou. In reality, he knocked out an MMA fighter who was not made to look good by Tyson fighting terribly.

 

Usyks the best since Mike (remember he's not a natural heavyweight) but is never regarded as since he's not much of a showman. Also boxing is just becoming more of a sport washing scheme for middle Eastern money more and more and it makes it less appealing for casual watchers. Literally not one person in my work was interested in this which Is a massive change even from a few years ago.

 

AJ 100 would have thrown a hissy fit if Dubois was built like uysk.

If AJ had any sense, retire

 

That was an insane end to that fight. I went mental

 

That was embarrassing from AJ.

Dubois battered him and absolutely deserved that win.

Some unbelievable punches

 

Celtic's AJ would've put up a better fight.

 

Joshua as mobile as a lighthouse.

 

Joshua looked a mess, was wide open from the start, took too many punches, looked slow at returning anything.

Dubois looked quite good though, looked technically smarter than Joshua quicker and hit harder.

 

Loved seeing fury * off soon as was over that’s him an his aj super fight * ….both frauds who tried to squeeze it for all it was worth and it’s bit them on the * hope usyk wins rematch also appalled that Joshua had rematch clause and he was never the champion to begin with

You can't put AJ in the same bracket as tyson ffs. Just because a quite clearly untrained fury was * against ngannou and lost to usyk doesn't make him a fraud like glass jaw AJ. Tyson is a great fighter he's just passed it now, AJ never had it to be passed it.

 

Fury is in the same bracket because time and time again they * about with contracts and dodged big fights when they should have did it when the hype was their

Fury was even doing it before the usyk fight * about delaying the fight their both arseholes
Remember the bull * I’m no in it for the money then goes on a yacht charter biggest bull * that walked the ring am surprised he’s not a politician yet

Tyson even now would school AJ. I agree that his team screwed around with the fight contracts but that was nothing to do with the fights but more about the money he was getting from Netflix and Saudi. It's ruined the game. A prime tyson ( 5 year ago) and usyk now would be imo the best fight since the rumble in jungle but every promoter now is just interested in the most money they can make.
Fact is that heavyweight boxing has needed a big draw for about 20 years now.

 

AJ was 1/3 to win as well

 

Of course he is.

Tyson Fury has the easiest ride ever from some people. Gets given so much credit for things he hypothetically could do.

 

You’re selling the sport well short here.

The heavyweight scene has had a really good time. In the post-Klitschko era you’ve had Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Usyk and Dubois all at least appear elite at one time or another. Dubois is probably the exception in terms of marketability (although he’s only 27, so has time), but otherwise you’ve got some easily sellable fighters in there. You’ve then got guys like Ruiz, Zhang, Parker, Joyce etc just below.

As much as the Saudi sportswashing disgusts me, I can’t fault them for getting the big fights to happen.
