Former world champion Johnny Nelson has analyzed Caroline Dubois's psychological edge over Terri Harper, describing her as a fighter who thrives on intimidation. Nelson, a Sky Sports boxing expert, observed that Dubois's aggressive demeanor and ability to read opponents gives her a distinct advantage in the ring. He noted her transformation from amateur to professional boxing, where she discovered she could use intimidation as a weapon.

Nelson highlighted Dubois's intense gym presence, recounting stories of how she would train alongside Adam Azim and Viddal Riley, walking in silently, dominating the bag and pads, then leaving without a word. This relentless approach, he suggests, translates directly into her fighting style. Her personal life, according to Nelson, actually benefits her boxing career, creating a focused competitor who doesn't back down from anyone.

Against Harper, Nelson saw Dubois successfully dragging her opponent into her orbit by targeting personal vulnerabilities. By discussing Harper's career losses, questioning her heart, and labeling her boring and irrelevant, Dubois pressed buttons that revealed Harper's emotional triggers. Nelson emphasized that Dubois's ability to read opponents 'like a hymn sheet' demonstrates the psychological warfare that separates elite fighters from the rest.
