Much better fight than the first, which everyone in boxing had Catterall winning by 3 rounds. I thought it was closer fight this time. But, I think Catterall did the better work. He had Taylor in all kinds of trouble at times, whereas I never felt Taylor hurt Catterall. I probably had Catterall by two rounds but the scoring was nuts by the two that made it as wide as it was. I don’t want a third fight. Catterall should be world champ, and Taylor needs to move up in weight to 147. He’s interestingis Catterall, skill wise he’s top drawer, and if he improves the gas tank, he’s a nightmare for a lot of fighters. Defensively he’s brilliant. He’s got that Floyd shoulder roll, which as a southpaw causes chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl4ever1867 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Well..... Who predicted a white wash for Queensbury in Saturday in the 5v5.... Fight if the night for me was Ball vs Ford, that was unbelievable! What a scrap that was, I'm hoping for a part 2 in that one, both fighters bought their A game. Dubois, he gets better by the fight, I'd love to see him vs Parker or AJ. Zhang, at 41 is an absolute monster, the knockout of Wilder was a beaut and has surely retired Deontay now? He's got money in the bank, enjoy it and your health & move on. Credit all round for a great night of boxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl4ever1867 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 This Saturday 21st September...... Joshua vs Dubois Who wins? I'll go AJ after his last 2 performances, which have been outstanding, back to his best but I'll give credit where it's due, Dubois is no easy fight.

Tylluan Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Dubois has to land and land constantly to make Joshua overthink and then doubt himself. If Joshua dances and stays behind the jab for the first few rounds then he takes it. Either way, whoever wins then gives Fury a shot after he's lost to Usyk again in December. Fury will 'retire' on that night then come out again as Joshua and Dubois will both make more money fighting Fury than trying to beat Usyk again. Fury wins the belt then sets up another go at Usyk. It's just like the WWE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I am over for it. Only Chisora and Joyce are easier to hit than Dubois. But, he does have immense power and he’s got a good chin. However. He’ll give AJ too many easy looks and get stopped fairly early - AJ won’t need to look for Dubois chin, it will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl4ever1867 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Well shit! That's it for AJ, fair play to Dubois, he knocked AJ out his stride from minute one, AJ had no plan B, I don't think he was expecting Dubois to be that good Fair play DDD, that was a cracking KO.

Andyben Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Just caught up with it this morning. Its seems that AJ had gone from the end of R1 and at times was looking for it to be stopped. Really poor mentality which made Dubois look like Tyson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the knock down in the 1st round that made him look like bambi on ice, it was pretty much game over from that point, his legs and head were gone.

Andyben Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 He looked lost before the fight started. Real "rabbit in headlights" about him as if he knew he'd be beat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl71 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Wasn’t expecting that. I thought Dubois had a chance but Joshua was still clear favourite. It was a massacre. Dubois boxed property. Joshua turned in a strange, arrogant, dumb performance and fully deserved to get repeatedly put on his arse. He was holding his left too low, looking for counters and looked a candidate for the overhand right even before it first landed. His corner also appeared to do nothing to correct the mistakes he was making, like he’s just too big a star to get a bollocking. The ref did his best to keep Joshua in the fight. It was frankly a bit embarrassing. If the corner enter the ring before a round is complete, like for instance while the ref is administering a count, according to the rules that is a disqualification. Okay so too big a star to be told his tactics are stupid and too big a star for the rules to be applied to him correctly. it was a memorable fight though, to top off a good, but somewhat overhyped card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I was at Wembley and had to watch it back on TV to get a clearer understanding, but, did say that who lands first, wins. Dubois came out fast and got Joshua on the back foot immediately behind the jab and then started uncorking the right hand when he could double it up. The minute he landed clean you just knew Joshua wouldn’t survive. Joshua can take a shot, but, his balance and coordination takes an unusual amount of time to return compared to other fighters and because of that, he can’t get away from people. He was going for clinches and MISSING. Having watched it back. I can also see he’s ignoring the corner, which is then confounded by the fact that they change instructions to put him bang in trouble which he DOES listen too. It was tagged as Joshua getting back to the top, and it’s effectively ended his heavyweight title hopes for good given that Dubois will get first dibs on the Fury v Usyk and there are other mandatories in the pipeline. Joshua is not going to want to take a step back to the likes of Bakole, Zhang etc. I also think that he’d be mad to take Dubois again. That was a horrific beating for Joshua and a rematch would go the same way. That said, if Fury loses, we might get Fury v Joshua as a one and done retirement match for both of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
