A card full of tomato cans lined up for Franks fighters. I like Dubois but his opposition was a joke. Best fight of the night was Sunny
What a surprise !! Dubois knocking Fujimoto out !!
Good knockout for Dubois…
Another garbage heavyweight fight
I don’t mind a stay active fight like this for Dubois. He did what you’re supposed to do when faced with inferior competition…knock them out quickly.
With that said, I’m ready for a serious gate keeper type next. A couple fringe contenders and then a real contender by the end of 2020. Title fight in 2021!
Good win for Dubois, but now he needs to step up the level of competition. Like to see him fight Mariuz Wach next, that would be a good match until Dubois KOs him.
He beat a nobody. He needs to fight a top 10 guy in the new year.
I would say get Dubois in there with Fallon Sherrock, then push for the AJ fight. It will be a stiffer test before the big fights
AJ is way too soon for Dubois, he should fight Wach next, then Jennings, Miller, then go for Wilder.
Paul, Wilder is going to fk that boy up. WTF are you talking about !!
Dubois is better than Joe Joyce, but Wilder? Are you out of your fking mind?
Jonathan, Wilder is going to end up on his backside from Furys right hand and Dubois will do the same in a years time.
Dubois is going to destroy Joe Joyce. Mark my words.
