Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois | PPV - September 21, 2024

[funso banjo baby]

Here we go then......

This is as 50\50 on paper as you can get.

I can't see a distance fight unless AJ goes into his shell (Parker, Usyk I & 2, Ruiz 2) but that shouldn't happen against Dubois who is less mobile and will want to come forward.

This is a clash of big power punchers.

AJ has the edge in class but , for me, the big factor is the recent activity.

Dubois form is dynamite and he`s been in with serious opponents whereas AJ has quite literally fought stiffs for quick and pointless ko`s.

AJ was totally unnerved by the footwork, hand speed and general movement of Ruiz and Usyk. This won't be a factor against Dubois but also AJ is going to have to trade early and expend a lot of energy.

Both have small issues around mental attitude and stamina in tough fights.

I'm going against the run of opinion and saying Dubois wins by KO in the 5th but he's got to let his hands go as quickly as possible.

Why is Joshua ranked above Usyk at Heavyweight?

[JCS]

Why is Joshua ranked above Usyk at Heavyweight?

I'm guessing the logic goes something like...

Joshua crushed the guy (Ngannou), who arguably beat Fury, who Usyk barely beat himself.

[Thomastearns]

Why is Joshua ranked above Usyk at Heavyweight?

He makes the sanctioning bodies and everyone else concerned a way lot more money.

Who else would have sold out 97,000 tickets out so fast?

And then there's all that YouTube buzz.

[squiggy]

Announcers also keep calling this the biggest matchup Dubois has been in, forgetting that just last year he faced Usyk, who is better than Joshua.

That's a real stretch.

[JxhDel.]

Aside from Sheeraz doing his demolition job early (I always forget how lanky and tall he is), the rest of the Joshs card has been competitive but also boring except for Hutchinson stunning Buatsi when under pressure, and Cacace dishing out uppercuts on Warrington (whom looked solid but hope he retires forreal).

Now on with the battle of the giants.

[Gelis]

Joshua well within 6 Rounds.

[JxhDel.]

OMG DDD WITH A HUGE OVERHAND RIGHT

[TempleSlave]

DD went all guns blazing. I still think AJ but let’s see.

[daniel_nikolov]

Dubois leading 20-17

[JxhDel.]

DDD putting every shot from start to beginning what a nightmare for AJ

How about the rankings now? LOL...

I think they'll fully refresh overnight, that'll be interesting...

[JxhDel.]

What a fight. No shame for AJ, but we have got a new heavyweight star in DDD (which has been growing a lot and always brought this excitement).

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fury-AJ dead..

[caldo2025]

That was awesome. Great on both guys for that performance. I’ve watched it twice already. AJ’s got brass balls man. If only his camp told him to maybe put his hands up? lol. I think you learn that at the YMCA day 1. But who am I? Fun f’ng fight.

The 2 blokes who lost to Usyk are now above him in the boxrec ratings, how can that be.

[gregregegg]

Fury-AJ dead..

Honestly it’s still a cracking fight. Styles make fights, fury isn’t a banger.

I still wanna see it. We will see it for sure

That's a joke at this point, they might as well put Usyk 4th and bump Joshua in 3rd. Come on man, he is the undefeated unified champion! How do they rank Dubois and Fury that lost to him above him. I agree this performance by Dubois was amazing and he has improved a lot but it makes no sense to put him 1st.
