Commentator Johnny Nelson believes unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk may stop IBF champ Daniel Dubois in their rematch next month on July 19th at Wembley Stadium in London. Nelson says Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) will get to the chin of Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), and take him out with an \u201caccumulation\u201d<\/strong> of shots to knock him out.<\/p>\n

Usyk vs. Dubois Rematch: July 19th Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s how Usyk knocked out Dubois in their first fight in 2023 in Wroclaw, Poland. He landed a series of hard shots in the ninth round, causing Dubois to hit the canvas and quit. If he does defeat Dubois again, this needs to be the end. There shouldn\u2019t be a third fight because it would be a joke to keep putting them together.<\/p>\n

Dubois, 27, has a three-fight winning streak, beating Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic, and Jarrell Miller. However, none of those fighters are in the same league as Usyk in terms of talent.<\/p>\n

Usyk\u2019s \u201cAccumulation\u201d Strategy Against Dubois<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI do believe Usyk could possibly stop Daniel, and it won\u2019t be with one shot. It\u2019ll be an accumulation of simple pressure on Daniel,\u201d said Johnny Nelson to Ring Magazine<\/a>, predicting a victory for Oleksandr Usyk in his rematch with Daniel Dubois on July 19th.<\/p>\n

Usyk stopped Dubois last time they fought. So, it makes sense that he\u2019ll do it again in the rematch, because Daniel has a glass jaw. It doesn\u2019t take much for Dubois\u2019 opponents to put him down, as we saw in his fights against Usyk, Kevin Lerena, and Joe Joyce. The mandible is weak.<\/p>\n

Dubois\u2019s only chance in this fight is to get to Usyk early, because if it goes past five rounds, he\u2019s going to tire out and get knocked out. Usyk was an excellent puncher when he fought at cruiserweight. The power that he showed in that division is more than enough to knock out weak-chinned fighters at heavyweight, like Dubois.<\/p>\n

Dubois\u2019 Power Useless Against Usyk\u2019s Skill<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel is the stronger of the two, but Usyk has been in with a lot of people who were stronger, but he\u2019s been able to negate what advantages they had,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cKnowledge is power. Usyk knows what Dubois is about. Usyk has shown that he can think and change the direction of a fight. He proved that in the [previous] fight [against Dubois in 2023].\u201d<\/p>\n

Dubois\u2019s ability to exploit his power is the real problem. If he can\u2019t land his shots on Usyk, he\u2019s not going to be able to utilize his strength and size. He\u2019s going to be a big lump.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knew how to milk the situation. He knew how to play the game, find himself a little time, and come back and beat Daniel up,\u201d said Nelson.<\/p>\n

Usyk wasn\u2019t trying to game the system by letting the referee know a low blow from Dubois had hit him. He was hit low. There was no faking involved. If Dubois had landed the punch a little bit higher up, he might have won the fight. Of course, if it had hit Oleksandr in the midsection, he probably would have taken it and continued fighting.<\/p>\n
