Looking forward to the Royal Albert Hall card next weekend, another big Dubois KO no doubt. I think this will be an entertaining fight. Tetteh will come at him just like that Lartey fella did, these are the type of fights Dubois needs right now.
Special mention for Archie Sharp who's also on the bill, he's a local lad from Welling and someone I know quite well. defending his WBO European against a tough opponent in Declan Geraghty. He's only lost to world title contenders in Tennyson and Jon O'Carroll, so it's a good test for Archie.
Totally agree ref Dubois but i am in the Bruno camp id put him in tomorrow with higher opposition maybe not tyson and AJ level but the boy is ready and able
I think Sharp will divide opinion and this may be unpopular view but i aint sold on him, i think he has something but i am not as convinced as some, he is easily hit, his footwork for me is poor and his defence very easily negated,
If he comes through DG then maybe your right its a good test and a hard opponent has been over come,
but personsally i see DG as on the way down the list and not up it , a tough enough kid tidy enough technique but would have no way had the backing Sharp has had and therefore would not have had the opportunity of a real dedicated camp where he didnt have to work.
i expect Sharp to win quite easily within 8 and really needs to put on a performance to win me over
He wins in’s with a cracking shot but nothing has changed my mind he needs to do so much more defensively he is very very easy to hit , he stays in too long his feet are Sq when he stays in, against big punchers in this division then Sharp has to improve
I agree he looks hard to miss but he's also trying to win these fights and impress. He can take a shot so maybe it's a case of over confidence in his own whiskers

Needs to sort feet and his defense mate stepping up with the names he mentions if he don’t fix that it’s night night Vienna
His Jab is beautiful only 7 amateur fights I am sure they said tonight and 13 pro fights
his jab is absolutely beautiful my favorite heavy weight was Lennox and his was like a Wizzards wand if Dubois Jab is that smooth now in ten more fights he will be breaking the souls and hearts with b4 KO in all in front of him
Sharpe is useless. The knockdown was probably his first punch to connect. A switch-hitter will pulverise him.
I wouldn’t be that harsh, he has something about him and I honestly think if he can sort his feet and his defense out (we are only taking very fine details ( then he could balance off with skills and defense ,
the KO was timed to perfection DG coming in to throw his own and Sharp countering was an excellent shot, it shows that power that I didn’t think he had is there.
I like his confidence, he fights with confidence which is great to watch and he will sell tickets but if he does not sort out the defense which right now has more holes in it than a fisherman’s net he will get caught and caught by big punchers
if you put him in with Sam Bowen on that performance then I’d back Sam inside 6
Not a good fight for Archie, as I said before it was stylistically a bad matchup for him. He’s used to guys walking forward and you could see that last night; he was almost like a deer caught in the headlights at times.
wont take it away, it was a cracking punch and he definitely was closing the distance in that 4th round which helped him land more, but all in all he was rather lucky to get that punch, as we all don’t know what would’ve happened had it gone the full 10, but he was certainly 3 rounds down last night.

Very fair analysis of him , the things he does badly and they are quite poor are fixable there’s two reasons boxers don’t change to over come their faults
1 they believe wholeheartedly as do their team there is no need as the things the fighter does well negates that
2 the small changes required take away a high enough % of what the fighter is very good at so they can not amend the style .
Archie said it himself last night great fighters adapt and overcome
i dont think that he did adapt but he certainly over came the issue with an absolute pearler, I do however think that DG has slowed and was slowing in the 4th although I had him ahead in that rd also and Archie was closing the distance and allowing him to be able to get his shots off
I think the odds were correct I think the outcome would’ve been the same later down the line ,
when your only scheduled for 10 you can’t lose the first 3 so easily I’d have him back in the gym after a week off there’s a lot to do if he is calling out the likes of Bowen
Doctor Archie is learning and improving all the time but wether he can step up to the next level is the big question. I like your fairly unbiased opinion considering he is a mate. As for the person who describes Archie as useless, I wonder if he has ever had the gloves on.

I comment on a football forum, do I need to have played professionally to do so?
Please fill us in on your boxing career, that makes you a better judge than me. Or perhaps you can list the decent shots that Archie landed before the KO?

You called a man useless who is unbeaten after 17 fights. Incidentally I did box many years ago
Cracking fight, not sure how they kept up the intensity for 12 rounds... Mikey Garcia calling out Spence at the end... Just give the people what they want to see and fight Loma ffs.

Sharp gets hit far far to easily for me as he goes up in class this will be his down fall he has to get better defensively
i really hope he can shake that out of his game or h will sell tickets and be in exciting fights
but will lose more than he wins imo

Watching the replay, Tetteh didn’t have a clue where the punches were coming from or what to do.

Certainly not useless far from it
sometimes be careful what you wish for
