Maybe. I think in real time I was surprised how well he recovered. Maybe Dubois was a little inefficient finishing him but I did not expect AJ to make it through the 2nd after that first knockdown. Still, it was obvious he was desperate at the end because he jumped on Dubois at the slightest sniff when Dubois was composed enough to take him out.
I agree he was up on 2 of the judges' cards at the point when he took the knee against Joyce. Because he landed more overall punches and power punches, Joyce was all Jabs. That was a legit shot against Usyk. Hrgovic threw the kitchen sink at him. He can take some bangs can Dubois. But he can't take a jab, which is odd lol
I think he meant live, as in he was there in person. He’s not old enough to have seen prime Lennox Lewis. But even then, i wouldn’t consider any Lennox Lewis prime fights as the greatest. They come no where some of the Super Middleweight fights of the 90’s or the Welterweight fights of the 00’s.
Joshua looked terrible. No idea why he was holding his lead hand so low. Almost like he was inviting Dubois' right hand. Even the reflexes seemed horrible. That right hand that landed in the first round came in via airmail and still landed. Crazy!
@@criiiiiiiiiiiiii....bro DDD is good no doubt but AJ didn’t make the fight competitive at all, he fought like it’s his first time lacing a pair of gloves, credit to DDD tho 🫡
None of today's once a year fighters can hold a candle to the old guard nor their records, it's a circus compared to back during the true ranking and far more competitive days
AJ became half the fighter he was after sufferring his first loss against Ruiz, Lennox became TWICE the fighter he was after sufferring his first loss against McCall. Lennox was a true champion who AJ could never hope to replicate.
i find it extremely weird how aj never raised his guard and how he and eddie were smirking after being destroyed but oh well, good on Dubois what a performance!!!
Lmao its ironic lennox lewis is what eddie hearn wanted anthony Joshua to be. Too bad joshua just looks the part and doesnt have the skill or ability to actually be that person
Lol, Carl lost his mind. Maybe from an atmosphere perspective, 96K people screaming in an all-Brit showdown is hard to beat, but the fight was nothing more than an exciting yet one-sided beat down
Even before the fight started Dubois was pacing up and down and he looked ready to go. AJ on the other hand did not. AJ just did not look mentally prepared to enter this fight. It was as if he wasn't fighting with the fear of losing. The fight was lost even before a punch was thrown.
AJ's problem is he is too theoretical about things that don't matter, that calmness display was probably a page from some deep book about meditation or something, meanwhile Dubois was going off what he felt at the moment.
AJ was really nervous. He looked ok walking into the ring but once he was in there he looked like he was bricking it, go back and take a second look. He made ridiculous errors because his mind was gone. He was under a lot of pressure, third time champ and all that. To make it worse, Dubois was confident and didn't respect AJs power at all, he powered into AJ and gave him no time to settle. AJ got clocked in the 1st round and it was over, we all know AJs powers of recovery are unremarkable. I'm surprised AJ survived the second round, and props to him for staying in there. I was impressed he managed to get back in to the fight. But he was desperate, tried to capitalise on an opportunity that wasn't there and got punished. Dubois was awesome; confident, powerful, and hungry. Congratulations to him.
AJ is physically gifted. Unfortunately for him he's lacking mentally. He doesn't have the ability to adapt which is required at the elite level. Dubois put him on the back foot as he knows AJ needs to set to get off his power shots. By keeping aj moving, it nullified aj powers and aj shelled up and was afraid to let his right hand go. All the while dubois was landing power punches on the front foot and hurting AJ. The best man won fair and square. Congratulations DDD!
Lennox Lewis = 3-time World Heavyweight Champion + Avenged with knock-outs BOTH his losses! When Joshua said years ago; "Lewis is a clown"....well who is that clown now? I like Joshua as a fighter, he was the best for some time but like I have said for so many years there is NO ONE since Lewis retired better then he was. The Klitschko brothers was great, absolutely but not better. Wilder was a one-trick-pony who cashed-in on his right hand slammer. Joshua was great and at times had his moments but still no Lennox Lewis. Only Oleksandr Usyk as the real challanger to such statement, but that would make for a more complex debate with not only ring achivements but also amount of fights, wins and defeated opponents and is not really fare to any of the champs.
Well said. Holyfield was an accomplished amateur like Usyk, similar size, also cruiserweight moved up so I'd imagine a Lewis-Usyk would go similar to Lewis-Holyfield, with Lewis besting him over 12.
The only comment I would add is the quality of fighters Lewis faced vs the quality of fighters Usyk has available to him. I like Usyk as a fighter and as a man, but, the 90’s were a different time with some of the “crème de la crème” fighters to ever get into the square circle.
This is Aj’s worst performance, hunger zero, competitive spirit zero, defense zero, foot work zero, he fought like a newbie i can go on and on but congratulations to DDD
@@heisenberg6142 bro that means nothing if he kept fighting like a novice, it was only a matter of time for him to get flattened. That’s wat I mean by zero competitive spirit, he kept inviting bombs from DDD. If he fought like this against Usyk, they wouldn’t have gone 24 rounds
Many experienced boxers have said Dubois jab is the hardest they’ve ever felt, the guy is full of power and no wonder when his dad fed him HGH and TRT as a teen.
I love AJ and Im freaking gutted right now man. I just don’t understand how a professional boxer can just fully throw out basic fundamentals. Basic style Derrick James started with him again that was bringing him back. Hand up. Chin down. Using the jab to set up the right hand. The catching and countering off the guard. Everything was gone. The feet not working. The leaning back. Telegraphing right hand with no setup. Hands at his waist against a huge puncher like Dubois. I just don’t get it.
2 words I have been screaming for years "Ben Davison, how does he continue getting access to train professionals, and he isn't qualified???? Best fight? It was a one-sided drubbing!!
I listened to the fight on five live. They had audio in AJ’s corner and Ben said throw an uppercut. The commentator said I think that terrible advice he will be exposing himself to a counter he just need to get through the round. The rest as they say is history
Usyk said exactly the same thing, Joshua could have avoided some of those punches getting through in the first 39 seconds of the fight if he’d just stuck to fundamentals and kept his hands up. Dubois getting through in those first few seconds was the beginning of the end. Congratulations to Daniel, did exactly what was required of him in devastating fashion.
@@Inmyownleague That's not true at all. Usyk at 6.3 and 220-230 pounds isn't even known for being a puncher and stopped Dubois and almost Joshua and Fury as well. Fury has been knocked down 8 times by lesser opponents. Wilder weighed between 205-230 pounds and etc. Foreman broke heavybags, and then there's Shavers who made his glove explode, Liston breaking everything and Tyson knocking his opponents flying left and right.
@@alcottdevalte7440 lol tyson went 12 rounds in his prime to collect two of his three hw titles. Look at the size of the men he was bowling over, no one would even turn up to see the biggest hw's today face them. The giant hw's today knock down other giant with ease as soon as they connect. Even Freddie roach said klitschko hit the mitts harder than mike tyson.
Just was not AJs night, I’m not sure what the game plan was but something was off. DDD is a nightmare with stones in both hands. AJ showed amazing heart not sure where he goes from here but hell of a career
Lennox would've killed AJ. Fury also beats AJ. Styles make fights and AJ has been beaten by every decent fighter he has ever fought. I don't care what the UK public say, his record is padded. The moment he's faced a bit of class he's been destroyed.
Big AJ fan here, I don’t want to kick a man when he’s down or take anything away from Daniel but AJ was awful from the first bell. Chin in the air, arms down, throwing nothing. He showed what was possible when he threw the right in round in round five, the trouble was he was knocked out in round one! Dean Whyte nailed it I think. Daniel is hungry, AJ is comfortable with what he’s acheived. The only way I see AJ returning is if he has a genuine desire to end his career on a better note. Thats genuine desire, not just words. If he retired now he’s done his bit to revive boxing in this country. That was a magnificent event and I’d like to thank his excellency Turkhi for his contribution.
Dubois looked shockingly improved and confident against Hrgovic and took aot of confidence out of the Usyk loss. Something about his physique and body language changed and a fuse was lit post Usyk. I thought AJ would win a very close fight but fell credit to Daniel.
No way was that down to game plan. AJ froze for whatever reason. Maybe the Dubois jab rattled him. The first knockdown was a shocking lapse in concentration as well. Congrats to Dubois. He fought like an absolute bull, but AJ did a lot wrong.
First round overhand right. Same right that floored him during Reuiz match the 1st one. Not only that, he tried to parry the overhand right while against the ropes.
Ben Davidson is overrated. He's a sports psychologist, he's good for helping fighters when they're feeling down mentally, but then his tactical flaws show
@@Ooth9999 Joshua & Hearn’s fault. Fury & wilder both stepped up and fought eachother 3 times. Always said it was Matchroom conning the public the whole time.
@@DonKing-xg4kqfury literally pulled out of the scheduled aj fight And wilder declined a fight offer against aj Wilder himself confirmed that Wilder and fury were the reason they never fought each other
AJ came to the ring upset and depressed, he realised that he spent £5,000 for the Oasis concert and he didn’t like Liam’s performance just before the fight
Dubois threw the first right but the timing was wrong, and Joshua then walked straight into the exact same punch with his left down. The guy just doesn't learn.
That was an awful game plan or whatever it was. Perfect put by Words from Carl Froch.... what was AJ doin in there , what was the plan ... to get el sparko'd then look like ya got tasered. 🤭😂
Nope, Usyk would defeat Lewis. It would be rough, I think Usyk loses the middle rounds as Lewis hits him with uppercuts, but Usyk for sure pressures and outboxed Lewis.
@@soundwavesuperior28 imo i dont see Usyk outboxing lennox at all. The thing which makes lennox all time great is he's one of the most complete heavyweight of all time. He never depended on his power alone. He was smart as hell when he was focused. His jab would sting Usyk all night imo
Best way to beat A.J is simply hit him on the chin ,and that's a wrap once he gets stunned it's over ,I seen out of shape fury get knocked into the past ,and then get up and fight like he's possessed joshua has no chin case closed
The biggest tragedy is that AJ had the tools necessary to beat Dubois even if would still be a close match. But didn't use _any_ of them in this fight. I almost feel like Dubois didn't win because of his skill and ability, he won because the man set to fight him didn't even show up.
I put this down to Ben Davidson. They were over confident. The plan was to counter punch with no Plan B! AJ was far too relaxed and thought he could knock Dubios out early. Very naive!
It's not about his training. He's lost his confidence since Ruiz. He looked scared from the off. Once he got punched in the first round, he fell to bits. Doesn't matter who is training him.
Was very disappointed to hear our fans boo the Saudi Arabia national anthem. Sheikh Turki CHOSE to do this fight in London, he could've easily done this in Saudi like the other fights. We should've shown respect to his nation's national anthem
Before people start the usual nonsense of.. “AJ would never beat Lewis if both were in their prime” Just remember Lennox Lewis got knocked out by McCall and Rahman.. Both fighters who are NOWHERE NEAR the level of Joshua. If they could beat him then Joshua would have just as much of a chance. Secondly, if social media was around during Lennox Lewis era, when Lewis got sparked out you’d all be jumping on him saying “Lewis is NOWHERE NEAR as good as the heavyweights of the past” Just remember all great fighters LOSE.. All great fighters get KNOCKED OUT.. And for the record I DON’T think Joshua would have beaten Lewis in their prime. But I’m just making a point that ANYBODY in Heavyweight boxing can get knocked out no matter how good they are, it’s happened for centuries and it’ll continue to happen.
The stoppage against McCall was controversial. The loss to Rahman was because Lewis was filming some movie instead of training. He came back and beat both of them. But I get your point, don't compare fighters of different eras.
It's simple, AJ thought Round 1 was the size each other up round, Dubois didn't, AJ was caught off guard. The question here is, how long could Dubois last if he was the one who got caught?
I noticed AJ doesn't recover when he's in trouble, when he's rocked he's rocked for the rest of the fight lol
Maybe. I think in real time I was surprised how well he recovered. Maybe Dubois was a little inefficient finishing him but I did not expect AJ to make it through the 2nd after that first knockdown.

First round overhand right. Same right that floored him during Reuiz match the 1st one. Not only that, he tried to parry the overhand right while against the ropes.
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Ben Davidson is overrated. He's a sports psychologist, he's good for helping fighters when they're feeling down mentally, but then his tactical flaws show
Lewis is a legend.
Lot of Americans like Lennox. Good person, good champion. And a class act.
I BACKED DANIEL.... I TRULY BELIEVED HE WAS GONNA DO IT.... WHO'S DOUBTING DDD NOW... AJ WAS CONFIDENT BUT HE WAS TAKEN OUT BY THE KING SLAYER
King slayer ffs 😂
ME TOO , AND I GOT SLATED ALL WEEK . WHO'S LAUGHING NOW 😂😂😂😂
Mike Tyson was a beast. He would have flattened them both on the same night.. when he was 20 😂
Riyad season completely ended the careers of Fury, Wilder & Joshua 😂
Damn turki is ruthless
I thought them three would bring the heavyweight division into its golden age. Shame
@@Ooth9999 Joshua & Hearn’s fault. Fury & wilder both stepped up and fought eachother 3 times. Always said it was Matchroom conning the public the whole time.
@@DonKing-xg4kqfury literally pulled out of the scheduled aj fight
And wilder declined a fight offer against aj
Wilder himself confirmed that
Wilder and fury were the reason they never fought each other
@@DonKing-xg4kqwilder only picked the fury fight because he thought fury was done
It’s all about the Turki now.
No room for the chickens
*Aj went for the uppercut and Dubois beat him to the hook! Total domination. AJ suspect chin gets exposed again! Respect to Dubois!*
AJ gets buzzed easily. Ruiz exposed him hence where he is now. Don’t believe the hype 🥊
Spot on.
Yup that looked identical to the first Ruiz fight.
AJ came to the ring upset and depressed, he realised that he spent £5,000 for the Oasis concert and he didn’t like Liam’s performance just before the fight
Aj has no chin👺
and no defense
Thanks for stating the obvious
He defo does. He was eating Right Hands for fun. He had no defence. No say should debois be landing that frequently
Best fight he’s ever seen 🤯
Frank Bruno in his prime would have knocked AJ out.
And Bruno could take a punch.
@@badger509well, I’d argue Bruno could take a punch better than AJ but Bruno was a bit chinney too to be fair.
Bruno would dismantle aj ,bruno boxed in a tougher eta
Era sorry
Best fight ive ever seen was Usyk Fury 1 . I did not expect that round 9
Ref was trying for AJ
Britain has definitely become a powerhouse for boxing, especially for heavyweights.
Lennox nox would have beaten both of them !
Lewis would have folded Joshua up like a deckchair
Dubois threw the first right but the timing was wrong, and Joshua then walked straight into the exact same punch with his left down. The guy just doesn't learn.
That was an awful game plan or whatever it was. Perfect put by Words from Carl Froch.... what was AJ doin in there , what was the plan ... to get el sparko'd then look like ya got tasered. 🤭😂
Best fight he’s ever seen , really ??????
Lewis would have spanked every current heavyweight.
Easily.
Lewis got KOD by rahman
Nope, Usyk would defeat Lewis. It would be rough, I think Usyk loses the middle rounds as Lewis hits him with uppercuts, but Usyk for sure pressures and outboxed Lewis.
@@soundwavesuperior28 imo i dont see Usyk outboxing lennox at all. The thing which makes lennox all time great is he's one of the most complete heavyweight of all time. He never depended on his power alone. He was smart as hell when he was focused. His jab would sting Usyk all night imo
And came back and knocked him out avenged every lossssss
That Gazelle Punch that DDD was trying to cultivate will be a super weapon if he can fully execute Iron Mikes moves.
said it before, aj chin is gone and when he hit in side of head then his legs go...so glad he got folded :)
Carl Frampton has only seen one fight before - Nelson v Ponce de Leon.
AJ' chin is shocking. He can't take punches. Just shows how to beat him
Best way to beat A.J is simply hit him on the chin ,and that's a wrap once he gets stunned it's over ,I seen out of shape fury get knocked into the past ,and then get up and fight like he's possessed joshua has no chin case closed
AJ never recovers from being rocked, once hes rocked thats it
Frampton getting that oil money 😂 ‘best fight I’ve ever seen’😂
Lenox off to the set of last of the summer wine 😂
This fight brought a spark of the 80s boxing back
AJ best win? 40 year old+ Klitschko.
Doesn't say much for AJ lol
Joseph Parker
Fury was out and Wilder was unproven.
A 40 year old Klitschko was the #1 at that stage in the heavyweight division...
Who has Daniel beaten
@@DavidGoldX That's a good win but I'd still say Wlad was better. Just my humble opinion
Let’s be honest Lennox would have flattened the pair of them one after another in his prime
Aj is done!
The biggest tragedy is that AJ had the tools necessary to beat Dubois even if would still be a close match. But didn't use _any_ of them in this fight. I almost feel like Dubois didn't win because of his skill and ability, he won because the man set to fight him didn't even show up.
Ref was awful...
Paid off by Turki
I'm glad he was bcos I wanted the fight to go on
I put this down to Ben Davidson. They were over confident. The plan was to counter punch with no Plan B! AJ was far too relaxed and thought he could knock Dubios out early. Very naive!
It's not about his training. He's lost his confidence since Ruiz. He looked scared from the off. Once he got punched in the first round, he fell to bits. Doesn't matter who is training him.
Was very disappointed to hear our fans boo the Saudi Arabia national anthem. Sheikh Turki CHOSE to do this fight in London, he could've easily done this in Saudi like the other fights. We should've shown respect to his nation's national anthem
Aj playing games. He's upto something.
Before people start the usual nonsense of.. “AJ would never beat Lewis if both were in their prime”
Just remember Lennox Lewis got knocked out by McCall and Rahman.. Both fighters who are NOWHERE NEAR the level of Joshua. If they could beat him then Joshua would have just as much of a chance.
Secondly, if social media was around during Lennox Lewis era, when Lewis got sparked out you’d all be jumping on him saying “Lewis is NOWHERE NEAR as good as the heavyweights of the past”
Just remember all great fighters LOSE.. All great fighters get KNOCKED OUT..
And for the record I DON’T think Joshua would have beaten Lewis in their prime. But I’m just making a point that ANYBODY in Heavyweight boxing can get knocked out no matter how good they are, it’s happened for centuries and it’ll continue to happen.
Well said.
Wise
Lennox is our greatest champion, he would of annihilated AJ at any stage of his career.
The stoppage against McCall was controversial. The loss to Rahman was because Lewis was filming some movie instead of training.
He came back and beat both of them.
But I get your point, don't compare fighters of different eras.
@@mikemorane5753 he couldn’t stand straight lol did u see the way he put up his gloves
It's simple, AJ thought Round 1 was the size each other up round, Dubois didn't, AJ was caught off guard. The question here is, how long could Dubois last if he was the one who got caught?
Underrated comment. Dubois was basically knocked out in the last round himself, so yes, it was probably the matter of "who would land it first".
AJ look lost woman 🤨
sometimes i feel like people forget how great Lennox was, he was top of the top. He would mope the floor with today's HWs
maybe voodoo really does work lets hope dubois pass,s the drug test.
Dubois totally schooled Joshua from R1. All heavyweights can deliver serious punishment... but who can take it.
