Exact same shit all of you said after the Shock loss to Ruiz as soon as he embarrasses Ruiz in the rematch y'all claimed Ruiz didn't train at all and gave Joshua no credit even if he beats Dubois convincingly in the rematch y'all spin another narrative 😂😂😂
@@arindomudiare3898come on man, Dubois is not Ruiz.... and Andy probably could have beat Joshua again if he was actually disciplined and didn't blow up like a hippo between fights. He let the success get to his head, didn't stay in shape or train hard for the rematch. Also the fights were not really the same besides exposing Joshua's glass chin. Andy was struggling until he landed that punch... Dubois won every second of every round. He couldn't miss. He beat Joshua from pillar to post knocking him down at least 4 times before completely flattening him. And if you factor in the sparring story where Dubois beat the crap out of Joshua when he was like 18 years old... to me it sounds like DDD just has his number. It's highly unlikely that AJ will have success like he did with Andy. Although this is HW boxing and maybe he could land something on Dubois early like he did before he got knocked out. But I doubt it.
@@keithdoeskungfu hrgovic beat the crap out of Dubois in sparring and also sent him to the hospital? What happened when dey actually fought? No outcome of any fight is guaranteed until we actually see it thanks to Turki alashik so many pretenders are being exposed in boxing
Daniel can absorb serious licks, but actually improving and can also counter with a heavy duty barrage of swift hooks, when they land it’s good night Vienna, that’s what curry goat rice and peas do for you..
DUBOIS legs turn to jelly? NO a slight dip at the knee and buzzed yes but seriously hurt no AND DDD showed tremendous lucid composure under pressure to deliver the final short right hand! gotta say AJ showed tremendous heart and warrior spirit before going out on his shield!!!
AJ was too confident, didn’t respect Daniel going into the fight. -His attitude was that he was going to “big brother” Dubois. -He walks Daniel to his corner at some point. -he tells his corner Dubois is shit. -he’s talking with people in the crowd. I’m not sure AJ even knew he got knocked down in round 1. As an AJ fan, I’m disappointed with AJs performance. He wins the rematch because he is better than that performance.
Delusional thinking and ego will do it every time. So much mental illness in boxing. He is incapable of patching his faults as he won't listen unless people are telling him what he wants to hear.
Joshua turned out to be GROSSLY OVERRATED. Look at how he performs and keep in mind that he has NEVER been at a physical disadvantage in the ring. He is ALWAYS the bigger, stronger guy. Now imagine how he would look if he had to fight guys who were physically bigger than him. The way tank, usyk, loma and canelo have to fight.
Joshua is marketable. His pecks and smooth face are able to sell things. Boxing is willing to cherry-pick around a lot of faults for such a marketing opportunity.
One thing about AJ is when he gets hurt he trys to slug it out instead of doing the fundamentally sound thing and hold and maybe slip some punches and try to get his feet back. I really believe it's from AJ being embarrassed and wanting to people please. And I'm with you Wave fights that are that one sided really don't interest me much either.
Accurate. AJ underestimated DDD. I was rooting for DDD, but the fight went how it would go but in the opposite direction. AJ should have enough boxing skills to beat DDD behind the jab. Both have shown immense heart and weak mentality at different points in their careers. But Dubois should not be taken lightly of late. He really wants to fight and does not show any fear. Given his power, that's dangerous.
Bakole is a problem for everyone in the division. I think Usyk beats him in a difficult fight, Parker and Fury (depending on which versions show up) might. Everyone else gets mauled.
I think the best collaboration for AJ is Lennox Lewis. Anthony knew that Daniel was not a walk in the park, Daniel can take heavy shots and Anthony knew that going into the fight and was unsettled by that, Daniel showed improvement during the Miller fight with Miller being over 42lbs heavier than Daniel being stopped on his feet, what does that tell you, AJ would have gone down, Daniel is a force and the public need to realise this. It would have made not one bit of difference wether Anthony boxed, Daniel is just too mentally determined, when you have a fighter like that it is a nightmare, AJ will never beat Daniel as Daniel is improving with every fight and will be a problem for any Heavyweight, the only Heavyweight that may have any chance against Daniel at present will be Martin Bakole, Moses Ituama, possibly Jang although I feel Daniel will avoid Jang early part of the fight and be stronger in the latter rounds, Jang will not come out his corner in the latter rounds to endure any further onslaught from Daniel,DDD has great endurance for a heavyweight ..
AJ looked really nervous and scared to me right before the bell. I think AJ knew Dubois had hurt him in sparring and has gotten MUCH better since then. I think AJ knows that Dubois fighting Usyk, Miller and Hrgovic in his last three fights and the way he performed meant he was going to be VERY DANGEROUS for AJ. AJ knew all of that and he knows he's susceptible to being KO'd. HE WAS NERVOUS AS HELL.
First thing I noticed in round 1 was how poorly AJ was jabbing. He didn't commit to his jab to try and establish it. When jabbing he kept a lot of weight on his back foot, and then sort of pull / lean back mid jab. It was very odd. Reminded me of how scared noobies throw jabs their first times sparring.
Yea it was really odd watching a seasoned former champion behave like that. That's why the rematch isn't a bad idea. Almost everyone's shocked at how poor Joshua looked on defense and when he was on the offensive. The blow that knocked him out was from a lead uppercut while leading himself open. I've never seen Joshua do something like that before.
AJ fought 2 fights against Usyk and a fight against Wallin. Three fights against South Paws. I don't even count Helenius and Francis. I think AJ was probably out of practice against a good orthodox power puncher.
Don't think there is any time for a change again but if AJ is going to continue he needs to go with Hill and Banks. He has same issues a Vlad. He has to be taught to fight behind a jab and clinch (esp pulling down the head which allows you to control an opponent) when someone gets inside his reach advantage . Ugly style very effect at wearing down a guy like DDD over rounds. Opens up the straight right or left hook like in a fight. Davis had him fighting with his guard down and extending in off balance.
If I was Dubois I wouldn’t agree to a rematch just yet. I would wait and see if Fury beats Usyk, which I doubt. If Fury beats Usyk then Dubois should fight Fury next, which would be a bigger fight than the Joshua fight. It would be two Englishmen fighting for the Undisputed title, it would me a mega and historical event. Dubois beat Joshua decisively, I don’t see anything different in the rematch, just another big payday for Joshua, which right now he doesn’t deserve, in boxing terms.
If Fury loses to Usyk, but then fights and beats AJ (most likely scenario imo), I think Fury ends his career as an ATG. He would have only lost to an upper tier ATG in Usyk. Fury on his worst nights managed to pick up wins, AJ on his worst nights ended up knocked out. I’m a AJ fan but Wave you know through boxing history the difference between real champions, that win no matter what and the guy that have the ups and down and have very good careers but aren’t great. Fury is a winner to me, I think he’ll make sure he finishes his career as an ATG
@@winstonRoberts-g6x i don't think so. My reason for him beating dubious is because Parker foot speed, head movement and slickness would make it difficult for ddd to hit him. It will be similar to him fighting a right hand usyk but with no combination punching.
You could be correct, but I feel as awkward as Daniel’s style seems, it’s actually quite deceiving, Daniel has good foot speed and acceptable endurance for a heavyweight, I respect your opinion, I just feel Daniel has come through adversity and totally understands what he needs to do to succeed, we will see..
The best Dubois fought the worse Joshua. I don't mind the rematch. Joshua looked better defensively and offensively during the 2012 Olympics. Lol. Joshua was the favorite for a reason. He looked so off last Saturday. It was odd. Nnganou would've gave Joshua a run for his money if he fought him that night. credit to Dubois though on capitalizing. But it looked like beating someone when their controller was unplugged.
@@venicec3310 yea.........but this was pretty bad bro. Lol I mean he looked better in tactically in both fights against Usyk. Chin in the air...with his hands low. Lol. I Joshua's no Pernell Whitaker, but his defense has always been decent at least. Joshua was making mistakes that he never made before. I'm not counting out the possibility....but we're those mistakes really caused by Dubois? It didn't look like it. It's like breaking into someone's house versus someone forgetting to lock the doors before they leave. And I give Daniel full credit. You're supposed to capatilize on your opponents errors. But damn were those errors very apparent. AJ leaving himself wide open like that had nothing to do with Dubois...per se. I wouldn't be mad at seeing a rematch. I want to see if Dubois really did improve that much.
@@ChristKabod Joshua was glitching bruv. Lol. I understand making errors. But he was making rookie like errors that he's never made before. We need to see if it was because Dubois really improved that much...or Joshua had a really terrible night at the office🤷🏾♂️.
I would like to see an immediate rematch, mainly because I don't think we saw anything close to an AJ who was fighting to his full ability. Why he was off that night I have no idea, but I do think that he deserves the chance to show that he's capable of better. Will he beat Dubois in a rematch? I think it's possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if Dubois beat him again. My bet would be that it's a much more competitive fight and really, that's what I want to see.
@@torrey2708 Yes, maybe so, but I think that AJ has done enough for boxing over his career that they should give him the shot, if he wants it. I think he's earned that much.
@@Alistair_Spence I agree....he looked waayyyyyyyy too easy to hit. Joshua would've been knocked out by Usyk in both fights if his defense was that bad. I don't want to take anything away from team Dubois. But Joshua's defense was worse than when Dubois fought Hrgovic. Is this a case of "styles makes fights"...I don't think so...for now anyway. I saw it as Dubois putting on the performance of his life vs Joshua being mentally distracted for some reason. I think AJ wins the rematch....but let's see.
@@uchechukwuibeji5532 Agreed. For some reason I have Joshua winning a rematch also. I believe that the loss to Dubois, and the nature of the way in which he lost it, will bring a very specific type of focus to AJ's next training camp.
I agree. I was Why is Aj acting to good for school? He is to focus on looking cool, instead of boxing
Every punch had bad intentions from DDD. He reminded me of dare I say of a Mike Tyson?
Dubois will beat him worse in the rematch
Like RD 1 KO yeee😂😮

Yep, losser mentality. Dunno why people gets so happy whenever someone fail
great breakdown! thanks!
It was the SPEED! AJ couldn’t handle Dubois’ speed.

There is zero reason to run this one back.

DDD had that leaping Pacman jab 😅

DDD is another UK Heavyweight star. He is the heir to the throne for the English Heavyweights.

I really believe it's from AJ being embarrassed and wanting to people please. And I'm with you Wave fights that are that one sided really don't interest me much either.
Parker vs. Bakole or Kabayel on the Usyk vs. Fury 2 card hopefully
Love the Axel from Steets of Rage reference- millenials get it!
The best fight and most intriguing fight and entertaining fight is AJ vs Wilder. We didn’t give wilder a shot before. I think he gotta a shot now
Should we expect to see Bivol beterbiev break down, bro?
Accurate. AJ underestimated DDD. I was rooting for DDD, but the fight went how it would go but in the opposite direction. AJ should have enough boxing skills to beat DDD behind the jab. Both have shown immense heart and weak mentality at different points in their careers. But Dubois should not be taken lightly of late. He really wants to fight and does not show any fear.

Always tought that bakole beats aj and would love to see him fight ddd

He beats ddd in a great fight imo would love to see that matchup
usyk is an old time great

Joshua needs a confidence builder fight against Wilder before facing the top again.
I noticed that look at the start too. There was uncertainty and fear, but his ego overrode it and he didn't utilise the fear.

D. James taught him that. A couple of fights under him would have helped. I've never understood the split.
