Should be some good rounds and a late stoppage for Dubois

Can see Dubois doing an AJ and smashing him early.

Dubois is a loss waiting to happen IMO. I just don't think he has the skill to evade too many punches. Hopefully he will imrpove.

I'm with KMHO on this one.

Would have preferred somebody from the British rankings like Cornish, Allen, Sexton or Ali. Might come with a little bit more ambition but at the very least Safety Pin should be able to give him some rounds.

im not sure hes a loss waiting to happe, but i defo havent been as impressed as some are, like graham houston who said like a year ago that 5-0 dubois would already ko hammer and povetkin.

and his matchmaking at least up to little was as flattering as can get to score kos, yet ppl treat those as if they prove hes some worldclass monster puncher
. for perspective, look at who else has knocked out guys like aj carter and dsve howe, look at how long dl jones lasted vs bakole, look at how some of these guys were blown up lhs and cws.

i feel hes got good long term potential for sure, but he also looks a bit lumbering and crude at timew to me and theres all sorts of questions about chin, stamina, etc

johnsons a decent fight for this stage, at least prob for some rounds

It’s just as well Johnson doesn’t throw too many punches...

I saw a few words from Johnson with the usual blah-blah about being more motivated and prepared than ever, a new Kevin Johnson etc. I wouldn’t mind if he sprang a surprise, he’s still capable of a decent win if the mood takes him.

Better off having a few shots with a scarecrow in a field
