    That was insane. The doctor even observed him again and let him keep going.

    Any long term damage resulting from this is on a lot of people's heads tonight.

    I hope Wardly take at least 6 months off before activating any rematch clause.

    He needs a new gameplan and better punch variety if he wants to beat DDD.

    That was one punch this was far worse this type of sustained blows are far more dangerous

    Could be it was the last real chance Fabio had and where it looked like he might possibly pull it off

    But he knew he was the better technical fighter and if he could get his jab going he'd take over, that was never on the cards against Usyk

    LOL.

    Yeah, no one should ever count a "Regular" belt. They be giving these belts out like toys from cracker jack boxes.

    I dont see that fight going very far, Dubois doesnt do good against intelligent skilled fighters, those are the fighters that force him to quit when he can't land, would love to see it though

    I think Fabio put too much into the first 4 rounds .. he thought he can take DD out .. DD does have solid fundamentals, DD jab was the key ...

    Great fight .. Fabio is a tough SOB .. hats off to his heart .. warrior
