Dubois, who's dad is Grenadian, won in five rounds.

Daniel battered Anthony. It was a one-sided fight. He treated Anthony Joshua like a punching bag.

That first punch did the trick

it wasn't that one sided. had anthony protected his chin in the 5th and gone for and overhand right instead of an uppercut, we'd be having a discussion on the greatest comeback of all time. dubois was on unsteady legs in the 5th and he doesn't like being hit, he retreated into a corner. had that been usyk or fury, they'd have won despite being dropped four times. people don't seem to realize joshua was going in for the knockout in the 5th and left himself open. possibly he was angry and felt he was going to maul this dude in the corner and forgot his fundamentals

All I am saying is that the initial blow slowed him down throughout and he never had a consistent stable base from which to launch. He hurt DDD while lunging forward… he was slow with the left hand to defend.

It was a good lash but I ent feel he had the tools for that great comeback. First round miscalculation, underestimation or simply one of those regrettable moments and it cost him hundreds of millions.

literally. fury was cussing after the fight saying joshua cost him 150 mil lol. but joshua was going in for the knockout in that round. if he hadn't left himself open, i'm not sure dubois would have made it out of that round because he was in a corner, on unsteady legs and joshua is a very heavy handed hitter. even frank warren, dubois' manager said he was scared when joshua had him in a corner. i don't think joshua respected dubois enough. dubois isn't as eloquent as joshua, in fact sometimes he sounds like a wind up toy with very few interests or capabilities outside of boxing(there's a belief in the cyber world that he's on the spectrum. i don't think so, i think he's just sheltered), but the ring is his office, and you can't have yourself unprotected against a heavy hitter

Bro i was shocked at AJ's Approach he seemed undercooked and off the pace Just as he was getting into the fight DD gave him a right to remain silent.

I just found out that Daniel's sister is the IBO women's lightweight champion .She has a perfect record of 8 fights 8 wins with 5 knock outs .
