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.

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: I Still Think That

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: "I Still Think That"

Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.

Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.

In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.

Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.

Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.

Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.

As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.

“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.

“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.

“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”

If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.

Mannix and Mora Support Fabio Wardley in Quest for Vengeance

"Mannix and Mora Support Fabio Wardley in Quest for Vengeance"

Fabio Wardley can turn his early success against Daniel Dubois into a rematch victory if he avoids exhausting himself chasing the finish. He proved he could hurt Dubois in their first fight. The harder task is keeping control when an opponent he has dropped continues coming forward.

Wardley scored two early knockdowns before Dubois recovered and stopped him. That leaves an opening for a different result, although better pacing alone may not be enough to prevent another punishing night.

Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora both back Wardley to win again on Saturday, with Mannix choosing him by stoppage. Mora believes Wardley’s eagerness to finish Dubois helped undo his promising start.

“If he just doesn’t punch himself out, he thinks about setting up that right hand, doesn’t get right hand happy,” Mora said to DAZN Boxing.

That is the adjustment Wardley needs to make under pressure. Once Dubois survived his biggest punches, Wardley needed something beyond another loaded right hand. Working behind his jab and putting punches together would give him more ways to attack without spending everything on a single finish.

Dubois deserves credit for surviving those knockdowns and returning to his jab. Mora believes his previous defeats helped him stay composed when Wardley hurt him. Wardley now has his own experience of a fight turning against him.

“I think he’ll be smarter after this fight. I think he’ll learn some lessons,” Mannix said. “I think Wardley wins by stoppage in this fight.”

Mannix’s biggest concern is what the first beating took out of Wardley. Learning the tactical lesson does not guarantee he will absorb Dubois’ punches the same way in the rematch.

Wardley’s power gives their picks a credible foundation. He has already put Dubois down twice. To complete the job, he needs to create another opening without allowing the pursuit of a knockout to leave him exhausted and exposed again.
