    Wardley would've had it all in the bag if he stuck to counterpunching and lateral movement.

    I think Dubois wins this if he can survive Itauma's early onslaught as his chin is suspect, but far too soon for Itauma at the same time.

    This fight showed the pros and cons of boxing. Great spectacle but what damage they took. Damn.

    Fabio just has weak boxing fundimentals, great hart en exposive power, but he's not going anywhere after this fight anymore.

    Fury would also foul back. Dubois deserves a taste of his own medicine in the very worst way.

    wardley kept doing the exact same move over and over again for several rds and dubois didnt know enough to time it and end it. guy has no iq, just repetition of what he was taught. sometimes it works out for him, sometimes it dont, but he aint outthinking anyone.

    The fact that Foster stopped Froch vs Groves 1 when he did, and didn't stop this until the 11th, shows that he is absolutely on the take. I don't care what anyone says, how on Earth can that be the same referee? Amazing card and main event tainted by watching an unbelievably brave man take a sickening and unnecessary beating for 3 or 4 rounds longer than necessary.
