Wish he wouldn't. I mean the money must be hard to turn down but he has nothing to prove and you can see he isn't the Usyk of even 2 years ago.

Luckily, for Usyk, even being removed from his prime is still too high for most of his contemporaries. Leave the new generation alone

Bit harsh.
The lad was just outclassed and then took two peachy left hooks.

No doubt he was outclassed and took two decent shots but he absolutely could have beat that count. Watch it back. He waits for the count to reach 10 and then just stands up and walks back to his corner. He doesn't have the heart to carry on when things get tough.

I mean none of us know what state he was in after them blows

Given his history and the way he stands up and walks straight back to his corner, seemingly completely stable on his feet, I say he didn't fancy it rather than he couldn't go on.

It looked less of a quit than the last Usyk fight. I'd have to watch it again but my impression was that he was slow to get up from the first knockdown and shortly after was down again. He didn't look concussed but he looked broken.

he was literally out. in the slow mo his eyes rolled all the way back shouted its over. usky is just too good for anyone in the heavyweight . there is two people who have a chance of beating him right now...joe the dodged parker and moses itauma.


absolutely class performance. imagine he got stripped of the belt he lost dubois got it. then beat him again to get it back :D

Easy, just levels above everybody. Kind of feel he broke Daniel there again, another case of somebody jumping up at 10 instead of pushing themselves for 8-9.

Beat Parker and sail off into the sunset as one of the greats.

No doubt it wasn't as bad as the first time and I agree with the last comment, which is kind of my point. AJ gets a lot of **** but in his loss to Dubois he was using his face as leverage in a desperate attempt to get back to his feet when he was knocked out. Dubois had no interest in trying to get up and just like Usyk 1 and the Joyce fight, he literally waits for the count to reach 10 before he attempts to get up.

It might seem harsh and 99% of people would probably do the same but these are the little but hugely important things that separate great fighters.

Tbf Dubois sustained a broken eye socket from the Joyce knockdown, so you have to take that into account.

Also, you have to remember - Usyk’s work rate and intensity is like nothing else, Dubois was absolutely exhausted, it’s easy to say he quit - but fighting Usyk is just a different world to literally anyone else.

in the joyce fight his eye socket was shattered. he could have gone blind.he did the right thing.he did quit in the first usyk fight 100 percent but this one as carl froch will say he got el sparkod. he was literally out.
 
I was cheering for Dubois being a brit et al, but you gotta hand it to Usyk, he was on another level, pretty much every round he showed just how capable he is and perhaps holding back in the closing moments. Being a south paw it must be impossible to find a sparing partner for the challenger.
I dont see anyone in the ranks coming even close to him at the moment. He's generational for sure!

there is two people who can beat him as i said earlier and we may see one of them fight him next. moses itauma and joe parker. id go with a crazy moses itauma hes very young but he is fast and knocks people out for fun.but the belts usyk holds them two are both mandatories. he may just drop the belt again like dubious though.
 
As impressive as Itauma is - he’s not even close to getting close to a Usyk bout.

Parker - no chance, Kabayel - no chance, both get dragged into deep waters and drown like everyone else.

People were saying Usyk is 38 - he’ll fade with age - didn’t look very faded last night, he looked friggin incredible
