Dubois will have ‘flashbacks’ and collapse, Balogun says

The heavyweight Mike Balogun says IBF champion Daniel Dubois will have “flashbacks ” Against the United Three Belt Champion Oleksandr Ulsyk after a few “remembrance rounds” and quickly collapsed in their re-broadcast on July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Fake confidence for dubois

He feels that Dubois’s recent wins over Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller have given him false confidence that will not help him against USKy (23-0, 14 COs). Those flashbacks from his fight against Utility will reappear as soon as he has been sent to the front and faces him again.

Many fans jumped foolishly on the Dubois wheel after his victory over AJ in September last year, and they believe he has improved. This is not the reality. Dubois (22-2, 21 CO’s) is still the same fighter as he used to, and will break down spiritually as soon as Ulsyk hits him. Those flashbacks are sometimes lifelong, and there is nothing his promoters can do about it, other than to fit him carefully as Tyson Fury was before he retired.

“It’s hard to go against USyk against USKIG if he’s been beaten guys. I feel like he already wants to break Dubois ‘to win, and I feel that this is the key in winning championship fights,’ Mike Balogun said Seconds outChoose Oleksandr Ulsyk to defeat Daniel Dubois on July 19 in London.

Utsyk has already shown that he is hitting hard enough to hurt and stop him. Although Oleksandr is not seen as a big puncher, he has shown that he has more than enough power to strike guys or hurt them if he carries them. We saw it at Dubois in 2023, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Dubois’s punch resistance is probably worse than that of the two.

Daniel is more vulnerable to stopping because he loses confidence, mentally crumbling like a broken egg shell and giving up the ship. He would rather stop if the tough is going on than fighting with tooth and nail to go out on his shield. There is the weakness of the Spirit that it is there, and will always be. Dubois surrendered to Joe Joyce on one knee in a fight he won.

In Dubois’ fight against former crossweight Kevin Lerena in December 2022, he was dropped three times in round one. However, the round ended 11 seconds early while Dubois was still counted. It essentially saved him to be knocked out. Lerena would have had enough time to drop him a fourth time if the action resumed. So, you have it as a loss for dubois.

Dubois’s mental weakness

“If you can break a man’s will to win to want to fight you in a way to turn the battle, I feel like he (utility) has already done it,” Bologun says. “If he stopped him in round nine, the beginning of this fight (the re -broadcast) round would be ten.”

Daniel has a problem that uscyk will stay in the fight long enough to reach his poor chin, tap him, discourage him and force him to quit or strike him. As I mentioned, it doesn’t cost much to pitch Dubois. That jaw is made of glass. He is powerful, but fragile above, and it will be there in the re -broadcast. Chins doesn’t get better for fighters as they get older.

“Dubois had some good victories, but I don’t think it turned him into the outcome of USKyk. Absolutely,” Bologun said when asked if Dubois’ victory over Anthony Joshua increased his confidence enough to defeat Usyk.

At 35, Joshua is nowhere near the fighter he was when he became pro in 2013 after his controversial gold medal victory in the 2012 Olympics. Initially, he was always a shaky heavyweight, but he is nowhere near what he was 12 years ago. Dubois’ victory means nothing because he does not fight against the vintage Joshua.

This version was defeated against almost any of the young sharks in the division. Dubois was just the one who fought against him. It could have been someone else; They would have done the same to AJ.

Reminder rounds cause flashbacks

“In this case, I don’t think the victories without a doubt, I believe that the victories made him absolutely more confident, and to fight with confidence, it is necessary, no matter who you are fighting. He (dubois) may have the confidence, but the skill (of usyk will be a problem).

“I mean, all that is needed is some of the memory rounds for him to have those flashbacks, And he can admit. Like I said, it could be easier for usyk to break him this time, ”Balogun said.

Mike is right about everything it will take is a ‘few reminder rounds’ for the flashbacks to start Dubois against USyk, and he will stop again. ‘Coming events have cast their shadows before.‘Dubois will do what he did before when he started to get through USyk, and his career will be on the junk.
