Dubois is such an uninspiring character.
I'm kinda annoyed Parker v Dubios didnt happen. That was an intriguing fight for me
He is but there is also something quite fascinating about such an absolute monster being this soft spoken and seemingly shy lad.
I find it quite endearing in a way. He just needs to be himself though, the whole shoving thing does not suit him in the slightest.
That's fair, and I agree regarding the shove stuff. Felt unnatural.
The shove was so slow too, he basically telegraphed it

You can almost imagine his internal dialogue being "Right come on Dan, Frank told you that it will help sell out Wembley if you push him. Oh he's so nice, I don't want to hurt him, oh golly gosh."
In the nicest way possible I think it’s more down to him not being all that clever.
For me he’s the most hilarious person in boxing right now and it’s brilliant to see. A genuine guy that’s an absolute powerhouse that’s developed before our eyes into a really good fighter. I think he lacks a bit of the brain at times in his fights but he’s got better with that over time which has got him to the top. For me I stick by Usyk cheated when they first fought and Dubois was robbed, which I’m sure some disagree with. I think we will see a very different fight this time around and would love to see Dubois do what Fury and Joshua couldn’t.

It's been discussed to death, and whether you believe the blow was low or not, people who side with Dubois always seem to dismiss the fact Usyk most likely gets up and gets on with it if the ref doesn't call it a low blow.
Not convinced of that. I think he was genuinely caught and hurt. If he gets up then Dubois swarms him and possibly finishes the fight. Maybe Usyk does go on to win that fight but we’ll never know and for me it just didn’t sit right at all.
Well we do know because Usyk did go on to win the fight. Of course he doesn't get the 5 minute break, but it was a body shot so he wouldn't have been dazed or on unsteady legs if and when he got up, swarming him doesn't do much in that situation and Usyk hasn't exactly shown us he has quit in him thus far.
Obviously we don’t know though do we because he said it was a low blow and the referee decided to give him five minutes to recover from it. Had the referee not deemed it a low blow he wouldn’t have had the time to recover, so no, we have no clue what would have happened.
Of course, but the same goes for you stating "If he gets up then Dubois swarms him and possibly finishes the fight". Both are hypothetical scenarios if the ref went with a 10 count, but what we do know is that when the fight did resume, Usyk stopped Dubois.
