Dubois will have “retrospective” and the fall of Usyk, says Balogun

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.

Ryan Garcia is calling for his next fight after winning the WBC title

Published

Image: Ryan Garcia Urges Promoters to Book Next Fight Now

“I want to fight so bad to fight 😩 I feel even more now that I have the belt. CHAMPION wants to fight. SOMEONE RUNS THE SCRAP” said Ryan Garcia on X.

Ryan probably talks a lot so as not to get stuck in a mandatory defense that pays a pittance. By demanding Conor Benn or celebrity rematches, he forces the hand of his promoters.

The reality is that Ryan holds the WBC belt, but the division is currently a waiting game. If someone like Turki Alalshikh doesn’t find Benn worth the investment despite his struggles with Regis Prograis, Ryan could be in for a close fight, which he definitely doesn’t want.

If Ryan had a “fight anyone, anywhere” mentality, he wouldn’t be in this situation. “Sugar Ray Robinson” would have already signed a contract to fight the most perilous guy available to prove his point.

Ryan’s current situation is a perfect example of a player falling into the trap of his own financial expectations. Because he has such a huge fan base, he feels like he can’t make a “normal” title defense if it wasn’t a blockbuster event.

It’s telling that Ryan’s interest in Benn increased right after Benn appeared to be the one to beat against Regis Prograis on April 11. It’s a business-first attitude. He is looking for the highest payout with the least technical risk.

Rejecting Rolly Romero as an option but going after the guy whose eyes the 37-year-old Prograis just slashed, Ryan shows his hand. He wants a name he thinks he can easily beat.

Shakur Stevenson called out by world champion looking to move up in weight

WBO super lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson is a fighter that many in the sport seem to want to avoid, but there is one other world champion who is hoping to make weight and secure a matchup with the undefeated southpaw from Newark.

I’m talking to Fighting the noiseFoster said facing the pound-for-pound star after his fight with Raymond Ford next month is the “first option.”

“I’m just excited to see what’s next, when we knock him down [Ford] If we lose, we’ll have the gigantic fight that Shakur and I want, and the sky is the limit.

“This [fight with Shakur] would be the first option, but if we can’t get him, maybe a Roach-Zepeda winner.

Foster – Who and Ford will collide in Houston on Saturday, May 30, while Lamont Roach Jr and William Zepeda have been ordered to fight for the vacant WBC lightweight title that Stevenson held until February.

Meanwhile, Stevenson has also been linked with a move to welterweight, but has maintained that a rehydration clause should be included in his contract for any potential 147-pound fights.

DiBella questions the long-term value of Berlanga and Hitchins

They can find a recent ponderous hitter who will knock out 15 players and call him “the next Berlanga.” They can find a hunky boxer and market him as “the next Hitchins.”

By doing it in-house, they control the narrative and, more importantly, the costs. DiBella argues that if Zuffa’s model works, the days of a fighter like Berlanga managing “overpaid” portfolios will be gone because the system will simply produce a cheaper version of the same “asset.”

“I have to be truthful with you, I don’t think it makes any difference. If that’s the case [Zuffa Boxing] doing things the right way, these guys are largely irrelevant,” DiBella said to Ariel Helwani.

“No offense to Richardson. He’s a good fighter. In five years, no one will care about Richardson Hitchins or Berlanga. It doesn’t matter.”

Berlanga faced the harshest criticism. DiBella pointed out how his early series was structured and how it shaped perceptions.

“There may be no fighter in the history of boxing, and this is a tribute to Keith Connolly, a little tribute to Berlanga, and a little tribute to Top Rank, who understood that you can take an average fighter and feed him 15 ham sandwiches and knock him out. After 15 ham sandwiches, he’s 15-0 with 15 knockouts.”

When talking about Berlanga, Dibella describes a guy whose entire reputation was built on a padded board designed to look spectacular on paper.

“So a little tribute to everyone. Berlanga is the most overpaid fighter, one of the most overpaid fighters in the history of boxing,” DiBella said.
