    Going to be absolute fireworks. I’m not try sure what to expect from Dubois. His loss was pretty brutal and I know he got paid well fighting Usyk twice and Joshua once.

    Wardley is hungrier but Dubois is the better fighter.

    Wardley with a bit faster hands and balls of steel.

    Great fight. I favor DDD in this one. He can slug it out and take a lot of punishment as long as he can hit his man back. He's also a better, more esperienced boxer than Wardley that may hit as hard as him. But I wouldn't be surprised if Wardley knocked him out. He has that kind of aura.

    I think Dan will relish the type of fight Wardley favours. Think he will stop Fabio before eight. But. I've a habit of betting against Fabio and whilst its a hard habit to break, its not been a particularly productive one thus far...

    DDD is a Glass Jawed Fighter. He has no Chin. None.

    Because Usyk stopped him?

    Yup. That fragile mandible will be shattered. This is a guy that got bounced up and down off the canvas by a cruiserweight!!! :lol: Wardley will destroy him

    I absolutely love the Wardley story and truly admire all he's achieved, but I honestly think DDD wrecks him.

    He cannot take a lot of punishment. He’s the only fighter I’ve seen quit 3 times.

    I think Fubois starts this at a fast pace and Fabio can be hit. Dubois by stoppage in the first half possibly early.

    The only guy to beat Dubois the last 5 years was Usyk.

    I,m not so sure......knocked down 3 times in the first round , saved by the referee ( 3 knockdown rule was in effect !)
    I like Dubois but he lucked out against Lerena
