Fabio Wardley is the hardest hitter at HW, and the dark horse of the division

Those are good odds. I just took him to win. 23/10.

 

Would you really describe Wlad as a 'stiff' fighter? He always seems pretty fluid, great feet, nothing looked forced.

He hits hard and is always game, but no way is he the hardest hitter in the division. I've no ill will to Wardley, and I'm happy for him for the success he has achieved, but he will come unstuck as he steps up further.

 

He clearly has one punch KO power but I don't think we can say he's the hardest puncher at HW when he hasn't fought anyone at the top level. He might very well be one of the biggest hitters in the division, the comparisons to Wilder seem apt given he loads up so much on that right hand and his boxing skills are very rudimentary.

 

Wardley does hit hard but Huni has a glass chin

 

Kabayel would mash his liver. He didn't like those shots from Huni, and Agit is a different breed.

 

Despite the stoppage my already low expectations of Wardley dropped even further after his performance tonight.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but even Miller beats him at this point.

 

Huni - good boxer, average chin.
Wardley - big power, average boxer.

After that my reassessment of both is that they’ll be good gatekeepers going forward. But nothing more than that.

 

Hardest puncher is debatable. He does put everything in his punches to make up for his lack of boxing skills and if it lands its lights out because of it.

Same right hand swing for 9 rnds and it finally landed in rnd 10

 

-Put him in with a boxer who can punch and he gets iced.

 

Wardley was lucky that Miller pulled out, Miller’s style would drown Wardley.

 

People did that with Wilder.

 

Wardley vs Bakole could be good. Wardley won’t run.

 

Well he looks like a hulkified Chris Eubank Jr, or Joe Joyce's slimmer meaner younger brother. But I see some similarities as well.
