Hearn’s Pick: Usyk to stop Daniel Dubois frigid!
Published
1 year agoon
Eddie Hearn chooses the unified heavyweight master Oleksandr Usyk through a knockout over IBF champion Daniel Dubois in a rematch on Saturday at the Wembley stadium. Hearn predicts that Usyk (23-0, 14 KO) will get to Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) in later rounds to get space in a 12-round fight for the championship in Dazn PPV.
Eddie doesn’t count Dubois in battle. He thinks he has a chance to win if he manages to catch Usyk with a gigantic shot. Dubois is always a threat, but he doubts that he will do it against the more qualified Usyk.
Hearn analyzes the psychology of the rematch
“Daniel showed great steel in the fight. canalPreview on Saturday rematch Oleksandr Utyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2. “Probably the largest person of our generation in terms of rattlers is Tyson Fury and he could not get tired of him at all.”
The reason why the attempts to intimidate Usyk Dubois failed yesterday during their meeting is that Oleksandr knows false when he sees him. Dubois does not believe in himself.
“When you have Dubois of Usyk screaming in the face, Usyk looked so frigid. He will inform me that he favors him in this fight,” said Hearn. “Without it yesterday I always choose a tub. I really think that Dubois is a threat. It is a great blow. He has great confidence.”
It does not require the UTYK to be sure of defeating Dubois. His intelligence is more than enough to outsmart Daniel, remain beyond the reach of his immense, ponderous, weighty shots and separate him until he leaves. He lacks the IQ ring and a chin to deal with the talent that Usyk has.
It is admirable that Dubois has increased to such an extent that it is, but a lot is related to signing up. During his career he was placed with the right guys. He would have more than five failures if he were thrown in heavyweight killers in the last four years.
I don’t know what it is, but many fighters from Great Britain do not have enough global competitions to show whether they are good or not. When they finally face high -quality fighters outside the UK, they are exposed. Dubois is a good example. He built a fluff record, and then broke up when he fought Usyk.
“When you saw Usyk in this situation yesterday, he was just so frigid. It’s not so frigid. He is just so good and I think he will stop him. He will stop him delayed as the last time, but maybe a little later. But Daniel is a threat in battle and I think he has a shot.”
Can Dubois take a blow?
Dubois has a glass chin and fails when Usyk begins to hit him with combinations in later rounds. Even early, Daniel could fall off and give up or succumb to Usyk’s power. As we saw in the first fight Dubois from Usyk and his clash with the former cruiser weight Kevin Lerenena, he cannot hit. His chin is Neat 100% glassOne of the weakest I saw from a lot of weighty weight.
Time Father can’t stop Uyk
“We said the same thing when AJ fell in love with him,” said Hearn, asked if Dubois is the biggest threat to defeating Usyk than anyone he met with. “In London. Usyk goes on. A smaller guy, and then a fury in the second fight. Yes, at some point, sooner or later, the Father gives you.
Little time has passed since Usyk’s impressive performance in his last fight with Tyson Fury to say that time his father will bring him to a rematch with Dubois on Saturday. If it were a fight that took place a few years later or if Oleksandr had been sitting inactive for a year, you would have to give Daniel a chance to win. However, this is not the case.
