    I think more than anything Warren wanted a spectacle and the ref was under instructions to deliver one; if Warren wanted a Dubois win the fight would have been stopped a few rounds earlier.

    Exactly. I hope he doesn't get another crack at Usyk

    The reason he got the knockdowns at the start is because he was throwing the right hand at a crude angle. But once you're getting done over, those bad fundamentals mean you lose your shape completely.

    Well I think tonight proved he would hang with Usyk. Not sure he would have much success, but he wouldn't quit like Dubois did twice against him.

    Usyk may stop Wardley, but that's only because Wardley would try to win like he did tonight instead of try to survive.

    What do I keep telling you guys about British domestic dust ups being the envy of the world?

    Insane fight. Astonishing it lasted as long as it did and the corner should've pulled Fabio out. Fabio inhuman levels of heart and toughness but technically he looked terrible all night swinging and missing wildly nonstop. Dubois was slow coming in that heavy but his better schooling and boxing skills were still too much for Fabio. Feel bad for him but his lack of experience and skill got exposed again and unlucky for him he couldn't snatch victory from the jaws of defeat this time. A grade A warrior for sure though

    Wardley is a one trick pony. Throws the right hand as hard as he can every time. A gifted fighter like Usyk would eat Wardly up.

    I doubt he’s even on the take to be honest, I think it’s just chronic incompetence.

    The professor will say it’s a early stoppage when the fighter is snoring on the floor

    I hope Fabio checks out okay. Last time I was this worried was when Frazer Clarke was drooped on the ropes in the second fight with Wardley.
