    Dubois may not be a smart man, but he knows enough to quit when the going gets tough.

    Just a small objection:

    Comparing the dubois aj win vs the wardley parker win, I agree that the parker that wardley faced seemed stronger than the joshua that dubois faced.

    But in the end wardley was gifted the tko while parker was actively evading punches and up on the cards so wardley would have needed a knockdown at least. Also parker seemd to have the wrong gameplan, totally exhausting himself to the point where he only threw single digit punches in the last rounds.

    Dubois on the other hand beat joshua so decisively that ruiz' win against joshua can't even compete.

    So i don't think i could rate the 'win' against parker higher than the win against joshua.

    Dubois-wardley is hard to predict either way. I see dubois winning unless wardley has another leap of growth as a boxer like he did from huni to parker

    Wardley got outboxed by Clarke, outboxed by Hunni and outboxed by Parker. 3 soft punchers.

    He has a punchers chance because he's got crazy power and more dog in him than Dubois but everything is telling me that Daniel is a level above him.

    The three fighters you mention were like you say the same as Dubois and a level above Wardley and we all know how those three other fights ended,Wardley so far has consistently managed to pull wins out the bag when losing fights,question is can he do the same with Dubois ? That is what makes this fight so exciting,does Wardley’s superb run continue or can Dubois put a stop to it !

    I have a sneaky feeling Dubois is going to outgun Wardley. I think is a little bit sharper.

    Even if Dubois is not the most intelligent guy, he have a singular goal to knock that other guy out and that's enough for me. I expect an action-packed exciting fight this Saturday. I can't wait.

    Zurdo was likely seconds away from being stopped, and if he hadn’t been, he’d never have been allowed out of his corner for the next round. In terms of quits, it’s barely a quit, just recognition that the fight was 100% over and he’d lost.

    He'll get hit with a jab and start blinking then take a knee

    i got dubois by stoppage at the moment. fabio luck i s gonna run out soon you can tell everytime he gets in with any one top 20-30 he doesn't have the same skill level as them its just he hits hard and has the heart of a lion and the will/chin to keep going.. eventually though that runs out the body can only take so much it might not happen vs dubois because dubois is hit an miss if we get the same dubois as joshua fight then i think he wins

    Dubois isn’t a quitter. He’s been stopped a few times, though. Wardley’s title is flimsy at best….his two big wins were controversial. It’s a tough call, but Dubois has impressed me more.

    Wardley's most striking attributes (grit, perseverance whilst losing, heavy handed hail Mary's for the full 12) have all served him well in his most recent notable achievements, against boxers who have been outpointing him.

    Dubois will be trying to take his head off. That's their plan A.

    Two big problems for Fabio are going to be that jab and Daniel's head butts. Forgot being knocked out for a moment: that face is in for a bloodening.

    Trading blows in the centre actually benefits Wardley more, as the less skilled jabber. If DDD can show the right mixture of aggression and range judgement it might be too much for Wardley.

    Much has been said of DDD's quitting and that Fabio is the exact opposite, who will take a bigger pounding than Bonnie Blue but still be 100% up for it. I think DDD has a component within him where he can 'give up' but usually when he can't get to his man. And he will get to Wardley.

    I'd like Fabio to surprise me and show us something more to win through skill. I really like the dude.

    But if they just stand and trade then it might as well be a coin flip and I think DDD would be leaving more to chance than he needs to (or should).
