    Here we go its the trainers fault. Maybe wardley just isnt as good as dubois .

    As for the stoppage you cant win pull him out earlier and its too early.

    Meh whatever he just got beat on the night by the better man thats all.

    Yes, I was surprised that Wardley didn’t jump on DD after those knockdowns, DD wasn’t badly hurt but enough get hurt again. Also, it would of helped Wardley if he at least attempted to hold his hands up…

    The Coffie stoppage was one of the worst in recent years

    Wardley has 100 percent been on the end of some very favorable decisions

    It's why it took me a long time to warm to him

    In hindsight he should have. But initially looked like it was going to be a mismatch in Wardleys favour. At that point probably thought he could get the job done without risking his gas tank going.

    If a rematch does happen agreed tho. If he hurts Dubois he has to jump all over him.

    Wardley also looked more gassed than Parker when that one was called off.

    Ben Davidson has excellent game plans he tells his man to take an absolute pasting for 10 rounds then when your opponent gets tired from over punching knock him out. He did this for Wardley against Huni and Parker and also for Leigh Wood against Conlan and Warrington.

    Did Ben give Fabio any decent advice between rounds?

    Ben Davison is a con man who knows nothing about boxing.

    The corner consists of Ben, a guy who has NEVER boxed. Let me repeat, a man who has NEVER participated in the sport, is COACHING at the highest level. His lead assistant is a guy who MAKES YOUTUBE VIDEOS who has also NEVER BOXED.

    I've been calling this out for years and people aren't wanting to hear it for some reason. Happy to see folks changing their tune after the disgraceful corner job Wardley just endured.

    I wouldn't even want an amateur coach who has never boxed coaching someone I care about. It's insane that this is still going on.

    Yea Shane Mcguigan is a far better trainer than him. There’s a video where Mcguigan breaks down why choosing Ben Davidson is a bad option for fighters

    Personally I believe Wardley has over achieved with his skill set and has only lost 1 fight.....but yeah his trainer is obviously s***

    And hold his hands up so he doesn’t have to block all punches with his face.
