I had a sneak peak with team Dubois while in camp, and while we didn’t make it work for this fight, I feel we connected on the same wavelength.
The reality for Dubois, Usyk is a fighting vet with a solid amateur & professional pedigree, so he’s used to this level of opponent, but Dubois has a puncher’s chance for sure and if he can implement some the below, he could cause an upset.
The keys to victory are as follows -
1. He needs to take away Usyk’s probing jab, chop it away hard, from a high guard and step across without taking clean shots,
2. He must jab to set everything up (flick, power, double) so he can hide his right hand — don’t just go for head, straight right to body, or long uppercut to hip or cup (no apologies)
3. Must keep cutting of the ring, both ways, switch it up, keep gloves on high on whiskers.
4. He has to be 100% locked in on Defense ( once he’s punched), hands up, step around; he can’t stay there waiting in the fire zone with chin exposed (this is most important)
5a. Add a bounce, can’t be flat footed like AJ was in his fight with Usyk - bounce (feint) jab, so usyk will have to work a little harder to find his range 🔥
5b. Hit body, hip, shoulders, start early, and stick with it … 100% do this - step on his right toe repeatedly…
6. If hurt, tie him up, lean on him, put your weight on him, in fact, every clinch, you should be leaning on him, doubling him over so his energy gets depleted,
7. If he’s hurt, don’t get carried away, take your time, be clinical, set up the finish with jabs and feints … keep RIGHT HAND HIGH (he will loop over wide lefts)
8. Expect a 12 round fight, so you’ll need your second wind to kick in, but fight one round at a time …
9. Keep strong mentally, but you only need to stay focused for 3 mins each round, then reset and go again,
10- Visualize - see the victory in your mind, see your game-plan clear by fight time -
