    Dubois was seemingly more nervous than Wardley from what I saw. Should be a great fight!

    Dubois is such a socially awkward person. :lol: Definitely on the spectrum.

    Wardley though... what a likeable guy, type of person I'd love to have as a mate. Very unusual for a boxer... so honest, down-to-earth, very intelligent. This guy is going places even after boxing, you can just tell. The type of person who's gonna save up the money he makes rather than throw it away stupidly on materialistic ****. Huge future for him. Jeez, the difference in IQ between these two, haha.

    As for the fight itself, while it lasts, it's gonna be incredible. Carnage from the very first bell. Both guys don't know the meaning of "feeling each other out". Unfortunately for Dubois, Wardley is the complete opposite of him when it comes to heart. When things start to become tough and painful in there, that's where Wardley thrives. And has an iron chin. Dubois will look for a way out, it's just who he is, he's never going to change. Plus Wardley hits harder. Wardley can knock out people with one punch... Dubois is powerful but his KOs tend to come from accumulations. Because of all the things I've mentioned, I can only see this going one way. Happy to be proven wrong though, although I'm obviously rooting for Wardley.

    Doesn't get more of a proper domestic dust up than this.

    Two KO artists going at it for a HW title.

    He will be even more focused than the joshua fight and will still get knocked out

    It’s rare you get such a stark contrast in IQ (well, verbal IQ at least) as the difference between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois in boxing

    Fabio is going to press the off switch on young Daniel, we can all see it.

    The only thing Fabio needs to be aware of is the head butts and fouls, dont get head butted on the 1st contact and he will be fine and win via KO without too much trouble.

    I’ve got to go with Wardley who will go into the trenches to get the win,Im not so sure Dubois will imo. Wardley comes across as a nice respectful man who has that confident energy about him and speaks very articulate. Dubois as mentioned is socially awkward so sometimes he is hard to get a good read of him. If Dubois turns up focussed we can expect an exciting fight and it could well come down to who wants it more,I can certainly see both fighters wanting to end it as soon as possible .

    Have you read interviews of Usyk done in Ukrainian and translated to English? He’s really well spoken. I always feel bad that what we know him as is the goofy broken English guy, because he’s very different when speaking in his own language.

    Fabio’s nose already looks like it’s been broken in 4 places. Adding another couple won’t change much.

    in a weird way, the fact that Dubois is clearly autistic makes him a bit more likable. The whole public aspect of the sport is probably worse for him than anything in the ring. Yet, he puts on his big boy pants, and goes out there and does his best anyway in the public appearances.

    Only issue would be his inability to see due to the blood and the referee potentially stopping it due to cuts. That is what happened to Hrgovic after all. That will be young Daniel’s main tactic let’s face it, lead face first and try and smash Wardley’s face up.

    Fabio is a good lad, Daniel as usual sounds like a dope.
