Tucker comfortably outboxes Wardley. And, he had the chin and defense to survive the occasional bomb from Wardley. I honestly don't think Tucker would really need to get out of second gear to win this.
I have to choose Tucker here, neither Tyson nor Lewis were able to beat him by stoppage and I doubt Wardley would be able to do it either, Tucker by UD.
Prime Joseph Parker actually had some stylistic similarities to Tucker, but then he decided to gain a bunch of weight and fight flat footed pretending he was a puncher. That being said, Wardley's stoppage of Parker is a bit controversial and he was behind on the cards. It wasn't a very convincing performance. Had he gotten a clean knockout or was ahead, I'd be a bit more confident picking Wardley. For now, we need see more from Ward who has a fairly thin resume. I have Tucker winning a clear decision in a competitive scrap.
Tucker, he wouldn’t trade like Parker did and has himself out, he’d box sensibly and outbox Wardley most likely, although Wardley would have a punchers’ chance.
