Mike Balogun in hefty weight says that IBF champion Daniel Dubois will have “”retrospective “ Against the unified master with three lanes, Oleksandr Usyk after a few “rounds of reminders” and quickly collapsed in the rematch on July 19 at a Wembley Stadium in London.

False trust in Dubois

He believes that Dubois’s last victories over Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller gave him false confidence that would not facilitate him against Utyk (23-0, 14 KO). These flashbacks of his battle against Utyk will return when he is sent to the front and measure him again.

Many fans stupidly jumped on Dubois fashion after his victory over AJ with AJ in September last year and naively believe that he had improved. This is not reality. Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) is still the same warrior he was earlier and will fall apart mentally when Usyk hit him. These flashbacks are sometimes for life and there is nothing that his promoters can do beyond that than by matching it carefully as Tyson Fury was before retiring.

“It is hard to go against Uyek when there are already beaten guys. I feel that he has already broken the will of Dubois, and I feel that this is the key to win the fight for the championship,” said Mike Balogun to SecondsChoosing Oleksandr Usyk to defeat Daniel Dubois in a rematch on July 19 in London.

Usyk has already shown that he hits tough enough to hurt Dubois and make him throw him. Although Oleksandr is not seen as a great puncher, he shows that he has more than sufficient power to knock out or hurt them when it uses them. We saw it against Dubois in 2023, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Dubois’s impact resistance is probably worse than these two.

Daniel is more susceptible to stopping because he loses confidence, falls mentally like a broken egg shell and gives up a ship. He would prefer to give up when it is hard than to fight your teeth and nails to go out to his shield. There is a weakness of the mind that it is and will always be. Dubois surrendered to one knee Joe Joyce in the fight he won.

In the fight of Dubois with the former Cevin Lerena’s cruiser weight in December 2022 he was dropped three times in the first round. However, the round ended 11 seconds earlier, while Dubois was still counted. This basically saved him from knocking out. Lerena would have enough time to drop it for the fourth time if the action resumed. You have it as a loss for Dubois.

Dubois’s mental weakness

“When you can break the guy’s will to win, to want to fight you in a way to change the fight, I feel like he [Usyk] I have already done that, said Bologun. “If he stops him in the ninth round, the beginning of this fight [the rematch] He would have a ten round. “

Daniel has a problem that Usyk will stay in battle long enough to get to his frail chin, tap him, discourage him and force him to throw him or knock out. As I mentioned, Dubois’s knockout doesn’t do much. This jaw is made of glass. It is powerful, but fine at the top, and it will be in a rematch. The chin are not better for fighters as aging.

“Dubois won some good victories, but I don’t think it changed the fight with Usyk as a result. Absolutely not,” said Bologun, asked if Dubois’s victory over Anthony Joshua increased his confidence to defeat Usyk.

At the age of 35, Joshua is not near the warrior when he was in 2013 after his controversial winning of the Golden Medal at the Olympic Games in 2012. At the beginning he was always a shaky hefty weight, but now it is not close to what he was 12 years ago. Dubois’s victory does not mean anything because he did not fight Vintage Joshua.

This version is defeated in relation to almost each of the teenage sharks in the division. Dubois was simply the one who fought him. It could have been any other; They would do the same for AJ.

Rounds of reminders are released by flashbacks

“I do not think that in this case these wins without a shadow of a doubt, I believe that these victories absolutely made him more confident, and the fight is certainly necessary, regardless of who you are fighting. [Dubois] may have confidence, but the skill [of Usyk will be a problem].

“I mean a few of these reminders are enough he, to have these flashbacks, And he can agree. As I said, this time, it is easier to break it, “said Balogun.

Mike is right that everything you need is “a few rounds of reminders” so that the flashbacks will start Dubois against Usyk, and give up again. ‘The upcoming events cast their shadows earlier.“Dubois will do what he did before when he began to be hit by Uyk and his career will be in rubbish.

President WBO Gustavo Olivieri revealed that in the evening that Moses Ituma was raised to the first place in heavyweight rankings along with their organization after winning in the second round on the unknown Mike Balogun on Saturday evening in Glasgow in Scotland.

Fans in social media are critical of the WBO decision and perceive it as bizarre and are a sign Ituma receives favoring by their organization, because he was not defeated by any contenders. His 12 victories had a lower level fighters at the level, and he has not yet fought with a claimant to the best 15. After his fight he looked ecstatic with the ring.

Controversy growth of Ituma

This is another reason why sanctioning bodies must be withdrawn from boxing and replaced by the ranking body, which makes logical choices. Like, hell, Moses Itauma takes first place after he did not beat anything Tomato cans His whole two -year career? Does he ask too much to beat two of these killers to get their ranking No. 1 in WBO?

– Joseph Parker
– Agit Kabayel
– Richard Torrez
– Bakhodir Jalalov
– Filip Hrgovic
– Martin Bakole

The way ITAUMA appeared against this person, Balogun, lost to the whole list. This is just a tiny list of rivals who would defeat Itauma.

It makes no sense that 20-year-old Ituma takes first place in WBO, because there is no victory over pretenders. Usually this is a requirement to transfer the warrior to position No. 1. They have at least one or two solid wins over the fighters at the highest level.

It seems that Ituma has been taken to the top, ignoring the role in which he should defeat the candidates to win ranking No. 1. When it comes to quickly placing him No. 1 so that he can fight Oleksandre Usyk before retiring, it is a waste of time.

Usyk will not fight him because he is interested in fighting Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury before he retires. It will not give an undisturbed warrior, such as Ituma, a shot for the world champion.

In today’s fight Itauma (12-0, 10 KO) destroyed the 36-year-old Balogun footballer (21-2, 16 KO), who never defeated anyone noteworthy. His previous defeat in his CV was a knockout of the second round of Murat Gassiev in 2023. This was another example of Ituma tailored to the non-contact.

Criticism of Martin Bakole

“Yes, he was doing well, but they got him someone who was an asshole,” said Martin Bakole Social boxingResponding to the winning of Moses Itauma over Mike Balogun on Saturday evening.

“At a high level they have to give him a good test, because he is not called Martin Bakole fighting with such a butt. He must fight some high -quality people and try to test himself if he wants to become a world champion tomorrow.

“I never remember his name. I don’t know who he was,” Bakole said when he said that Ituma watched some of his fights and said that he looked like rubbish. “I’m thinking of getting five or six. I don’t know if she is 10 the best, but she is a boxer, hefty weight

Moses ITAUMA climbed WBO rankings with talents, discipline and electrifying performances. Now his moment around the world is approaching a heavyweight player. It is only a matter of time before he got his shot and the world appears a fresh star. #NEWER @Shoe

Edwin de Los Santos says that when he connects with one of his shots, his fight with the airy champion WBO Keyshawn Davis will “end” on the place on June 7. De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) believes that Davis (13-0, 9 KO) will not be able to accept his power and will be destroyed.

Keyshawn vs. De los Santos will be the main range in Norfolk, Virginia. This is the hometown of Davis. So there can be a huge crowd of over 13,000 fans. The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+.

From the promise of the saints

“If I connect, I don’t think the fight will continue because It will end– said Edwin de los Santos Warrior Asked what would happen to Keyshawn Davis if he lands well. “On June 7 I intend to take over this city,” said De Los Santos about a fight in the hometown of Davis in Norfolk on the scope arena.

Thanks to one power de los Santos could Koyshawn, if he landed purely as he did against Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela. I have the impression that Davis will not allow him to approach to land and will be on a bike from the opening bell. He will get many tips from his “brother” Shakur Stevenson, how to avoid de los Santos, remaining in motion and sticking to when he approaches.

“I’m not worried about the plans. I said that he would not run as Shakur did, but I’m not going to worry about it. We write him during the fight. He went out talking. He looked like he was on vacation. He wants to go on vacation. I go on and do what I do. My challenging work, you will see the results of this,” said De Los Santos.

Keyshawn was not on vacation. Suddenly he became wealthy and it changed him. It seems that since he recently became a millionaire, he stopped talking the same and seems more formal. He completely changed the way he carries himself, clearly pronouncing his words and without sounding penetrating. Not bragging about yourself as it used to be during interviews.

Keyshawna’s reluctance to engage

I almost hear a diminutive British accent, which begins to dig in a way that Americans accept their way of speaking when they receive an influx of money to become wealthy. Keyshawn became another person. This can affect his ability to fight, making him reluctant to engage like his “brother” Shakur. If Davis hesitated to become and fight, de los Santos may need to prosecute him around the ring, as he did with Stevenson in 2023. Davis would be better before he became one of Nouveau Riche.

“This is the reality. Everyone knows the skills and mobility of Shakur, distinguishes him from Keyshawn, and what he did in his fights,” said Edwin, defending his opinion that Shakur Stevenson is a technically better warrior than Keyshawn.

Davis should not upset that de los Santos thinks Shakur is a better warrior than he because it is a fact. Keyshawn is not a boxer or mover like Stevenson. We saw what Keyshawn is doing, in contacts with fighters who press. He holds, fights and uses gritty tactics. It’s great as long as he has a gentle judge who is ready to turn his head when he breaks the rules, but not all judges are like that.

“I have been studying him for a long time, but on the day of the fight we will know. We will go there and see what we have to do,” said De Los Santos about studying Keyshawn.

De los Santos should take the page out of the textbook Andy Cruz and the pressure on Keyshawn, as in four wins against him with amateurs. He fights in the same way as then. The only difference is that he fights with two divisions below his natural size, which is a welterweight.

Keyshawn should fight for 147 or 154, but he knows how challenging life would be against the killers, such as Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Constant pressure on Davis is a way if De los Santos is able to cope with the weight of 15+ pounds with which he will deal with. Keyshawn is lucky that they no longer have a disadvantage on the day of the fight, as before they were detained in the 1980s.

Mayweather support will not lend a hand

“This is good for Floyd. The modern generation that he supports, but this is nothing that will lend a hand him, because Mayweather will not give him four arms in the ring. He will not give him four legs. Mayweather will be outside, and Keyshaw will be in the ring,” said De los Santos, responding to Floyd Jr.

Mayweather will not try to change the 26-year-old Keyshawn combat style because it is already set. He cannot change the way he fights, even if Floyd Jr. He tried to make him in a copy of his style. Devin Haney has already copied the Mayweather fight approach and is perceived as one of the most lifeless warriors in the game. The last thing Davis wants to do is join him.
