Dubois: A Cammarelle-Fashion Risk

Joshua’s Kryptonite: Quick-paced Preventing
AJ’s kryptonite is a fast-paced struggle, and Dubois focuses on that. He doesn’t enable his opponents to take pleasure in relaxation breaks to catch their breath, and Joshua, greater than anybody, requires frequent relaxation breaks because of his bodybuilding physique.
Joshua struggles when compelled to struggle rapidly, work onerous, and never be given time to load up. Within the 2012 London Olympics, Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle acquired the higher of Joshua, throwing combos, carrying him down, and forcing him to carry.
Joshua misplaced that struggle within the true sense however was given a doubtful victory for this London struggle. Cammarelle appeared to win each spherical, however AJ, preventing on residence soil, was given a win.
That was the primary of a number of controversial selections for Joshua within the 2012 Olympics. The others have been in opposition to Erislandy Savon of Cuba and Ivan Dychko of Kazakhstan.
If Dubois fights the identical approach Cammarelle did, the judges gained’t have a say in deciding the competition’s consequence as a result of it gained’t see the twelfth spherical. Dubois gained’t enable it to go to the judges.
Undercard Issues: A Lack of Worldwide Attraction
– Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Tyler Denny
– Anthony Cacace vs Josh Warrington
– Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson
– Liam Smith vs Josh Kelly
– Mark Chamberlain vs Josh Padley
The undercard is slanted towards British fighters, as there’s not a lot to see for U.S. followers, preferring to look at world-class abilities slightly than fringe-level UK fighters who won’t ever win world titles until it’s the paper selection.
Nobody on the undercard goes anyplace apart from maybe Sheeraz, however he’s fairly flawed, too. He would possibly win a belt sooner or later however gained’t maintain onto it lengthy. We noticed how he was harm in opposition to Austin Williams, and that efficiency spoke volumes about his future, or lack thereof.
If it have been me, I’d take a giant broom, sweep away 4 domestic-level scraps from the cardboard, and add a few high quality fights that might curiosity the U.S. market involving real world-class guys.
It could have been a pleasant gesture so as to add some proficient U.S. fighters like Abdullah Mason, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Jaron Ennis to the cardboard to get American followers amped up. British domestic-level fighters are engaging if the cardboard is proscribed to 1 struggle, however not when all the undercard is stuffed with these fights.
