Usyk v Dubois (26th August)

[yossa6133]

Should be a good heavyweight scrap.

Usyk correctly the strong favourite but i can't resist a nibble at the 10/1 on Dubois by stoppage (bet365).

He's young and can bang and is saying the right things about landing punches anywhere he can. Chisora did better than AJ against Usyk and Dubois has a similar seek and destroy style to Del Boy, only he's younger, fresher and hits harder...if he can land then Usyk will not have a comfortable night.

Obviously Usyk might bamboozle and outclass him, but the price is right for a speculative play, especially as Usyk is now 36.

 

 

888 Sport have Dubois by stoppage at 11/1 so I cashed out bet365 and took that.

10/1 is definitely too big for Dubois. However, for me, it's Usyk. Just hard to find some value with Usyk winning at the moment lol

I'm looking forward to the fight. I think I'll go with Usyk on points for this one. With a small bet on a Usyk late win. Death by a thousand punches.

5pts Usyk (pts or decision) 13/5 Paddypower
2pts Usyk (rounds 9-12) 11/2 Paddypower

Round 9 win for Usyk

Bit frustrating as DDD had Usyk in major trouble in the 5th but it was ruled a low blow and given 5 mins to recover. Dubois was hurting him to the body but didn't do it quite enough, he gassed by the end of the 8th and quit in the 9th.

Yeah, the body shots were the place to go and looked effective. Was weird that cause if it’s low then take a point. If it’s not, count him.
