Wardley vs Dubois - Preview/Prediction Video

Are you sure it's not "Big Bong" Zhang?

 

Always a nice breakdown Rummy and I happen to agree with you on this one. In addition to your point of Wardley being mentally stronger, I’ll add he has the big fight motivation on his side. Dubios probably knows in his heart he isn’t getting a 3rd fight with Usyk should he win, but Wardley can smell the big fight here. I think the extra motivation may pay off. I expect a really good fight but one where Wardley’s will to win will be a little bit more and will give him another late stoppage around round 9.

 

I agree Rummy, great video as always.

Heart will be the deciding factor, and Wardley has it in abundance.

 

Dubois wouldn’t fight Usyk again. He’s accepted he can’t beat him. Same reason AJ won’t fight Dubois again. Sometimes a certain guy just has your number, and you just accept it and move on. What you don’t want to be is Frazier taking the rematch with Foreman (I guarantee you that exact fight was in AJ’s mind when he turned down the rematch).

 

This was a beautiful video. And as much as i also enjoy to watch propa boxing (often cringeingly so) i developed a big distaste for how youtubers greedily exploit the wardley-clarke 2 knockout, showing a hundred closeups of a man fighting for control over his face and body. A boxing's equivalent of a car crash, displayed to catch the short attention of the vilest of boxing fans.

This video shows taste and that gets my respect!

 

Wardley is not that good.

Dubois will definitely KO him.

 

Dubois will be well up for this fight,should he lose to Wardley then the big Title fights are over for him and he knows it ! Can anyone seriously predict hand on heart who wins this fight ? I’d like Wardley to win and fancy him to win,he has the momentum going into this fight but I would also not be surprised if Dubois were to win,it’s just one of those fights that makes it so exciting and interesting for everyone .

 

Wardley is someone who isn't hard to outbox but he seems to always have that equalizer in his power. Dubois is the better boxer but I feel that he doesn't have the defensive skills to avoid Wardley's power for the entire fight. We'll see how Dubois responds to Wardley's punches and if he'll take the fight to him. Hoping to see an explosive barnburner. Can't wait.

 

You never know with two plodding bangers...Total pick em'.

Like if AJ managed to follow up the right hand he landed on Dubious he could have got the KO despite bieng beaten pillar to post for most of that bout....but he didn't he got chinned leading with an uppercut.

Dubious has wierd mental lapses but does seem to have a little sharpness and pazzaz at times which Wardley lacks. Meanwhile Wardley is very consistent won't mentally jack but he will be there to pressure Dubious...so if Dubious mentally blinks it's over for him. Both also seem to have a great engine depending if they can get into their own rhythm and relax but if they can't they gas out big time.

Dubious needs to get that jab going that he used for AJ but he seems to love ditching it.

Most interesting heavy bout of the year so far this is and should be most competative.

 

I've said before I wouldnt pick against Yardley again as he's proven me wrong a few times, he comes across well yo be fair too, but I've been thinking about Dubois Jab and wondering if thats going to be the deciding factor?

Wardley isnt exactly hard to find (Nor is Dubois to be fair) and Wardley hasnt been in with a puncher yet, that Jab of Dubois could do some damage and possibly break Wardley down for the finish.

But I cant count Wardley out, that big right cross over Dubois jab could have him out cold just as easily.

Probably one of the few recently that could truely go to either man and you wouldn't be surprised.


Long winded way I suppose of saying a slight Lean to Dubois but not with any real confidence lol

 

I think Wardley is too wide open to beat Dubois. But we'll see. My money is on DDD.

 

Agreed Rummy, I think, as you pointed out , when the leather starts flying Fabio will be able to survive a big punch better than Dubois and judging this matchup based on both fighters defense I think it could end inside 3 rounds .

 

I’m so up for the main event and the card in general.
I have no idea who is going to win. My head says Dubois but I’ve picked against Wardley often and always been proved wrong.

 

I think Wardley will destroy Dubois after a war.
He is just too tough and has this incredible self-belief.
