    Wardley is not that crude.

    I swear people make out like he is a bar room brawler.

    True. Maybe Wardley is a special talent. He keeps proving people wrong.

    Wardley can take some punishment that's for sure but Usyk will be pummelling away round after round, how much can Wardley take.

    Surely people don't think Wardley will win.

    Great win by Wardley don’t get me wrong but those voting need to remember how Usyk V Dubois went.

    Dubois and Wardley are pretty similar fighters. And that isn’t even including AJ and Fury who Usyk schooled twice.

    Good shout.

    Both of the Brits are comparable in chin/power/skill. I'd say Wardley isn't as slow as DDD, though.

    I think the issue with Usyk for Wardley is not that he gets hurt or ko'd, it's that he get's dispirited against someone who has so much IQ that his only chance is a hail mary hay-maker - which he has the power to deliver, but Usyk both has the smarts to negate that weapon by keeping Wardley on the back foot and even if clipped has a great chin as a fallback.

    I think it would be that frustration of being hopelessly outclassed AND hurt that might give Usyk a stoppage. But Wardley took some serious bombs tonight, and has a warrior heart so Usyk might just win on points.

    He should have had 0 chance against his last 5.

    Rocky Balboa had no business being in with the great Apollo Creed. THIS IS WARDLEYS DESTINY. YOULL START TO BELIEVE WHEN HES SMACKING SLABS OF BEEF IN HIS LOCAL BUTCHERS IN IPSWICH.

    Usyk picks him apart and stops him.

    Wardley throws combinations a lot more fluidly than Dubois as well, but on the flipside he has poorer defence

    Huni beat Wardley's ass for 9 straight rounds. Huni is a child in boxing technique and skill compared to Usyk. Usyk might have to be brought up on murder charges if that fight with Wardley happens.

    This fight wasn't about how impressive Wardley is, but how poor Parker is. How in the world do you get yourself into a firefight with this guy? How do you let him wail on you like that? Huni performed wildly better against this guy than Parker. I guess Boxercise Ben was right. Parker really ain't got it.

    This is just sad. Parker deserves his title shot, would at least give Usyk some wrinkles.

    Wardley, will be just a sitting duck for Usyk.
