Is Dubois worth a bet in Usyk 2?

[NihonJim]

"His whole argument for getting the undeserved rematch was that he won via a bodyshot" clowns still using this line. Acting like he isn't world champion and didn't stop Miller Hrgovic and AJ. All those saying undeserved are the ones who thought Hrgovic and AJ would beat him

Yeah this, he beat two unbeaten fighters and an AJ in good form, nobody has been on a better run in the last two years and I include Parker and Kabayel in that who have beaten frauds and old men in that same time.

On one hand the opposition that Dubois has faced in his last 4 fights was impressive but in no way preparation for Usyks style.

On the other hand Usyk is closing in on 40, two years older than when they first met, to my eye he's getting slower in every fight with fury 2 being his worst performance imo.

Worth a few bucks on Dubois?

I think so, Dubois has improved and gained in confidence.

At his age Usyk can only deteriorate,and their first fight left a couple of questions unanswered for me.

The foul was border line imo and Usyk milked it,now nearly 40,he may have slowed down enough for Dubois to land enough big shots to get the win.

I shall wait to see what the odds are before deciding to have a bet.

I also enjoy not only watching the fights but betting as well, and I can say that sometimes taking a risk on the underdog pays off, especially if there are doubts about the favorite. I usually use the dexsport service for betting — it’s easy to check the odds and place a bet there without unnecessary hassle. In Dubois’ case, there’s a chance, but personally, I wouldn’t risk more than I’m comfortable losing.

He was robbed of a legit stoppage last fight.

Then the ref continued to threaten to DQ him if he continued to land legal body shots, so he stopped throwing them and gave up in frustration. What else was he supposed to do he knows and everyone knows he cant outbox Usyk....


There was massive pressure to pass Usyk through the last fight, it was looked at as a stay busy fight before the big dollars fights with Fury

Now that Usyk has basically beaten everyone and is aging out ready to retire, there is no longer that pressure on the ref and judges to "help" him win.

That combined with DDDs body shots and power, i think its a pretty good bet if the odds are right.


hope that they dont start calling out legal body shots again

You can get Dubois at 4-1 - that's great value - no risk it, no biscuit.

[Tatabanya]

Unless Usyk gets shot overnight, or is caught cold, I still believe he knocks DDD out again or wins a comfortable decision.

[M312]

Its heavyweight boxing and DDD has power.

He's always going to be a live dog, even if it's unlikely.
