    Wardley is stumbling out of the ring even now. That's scary man. He really needs his head properly examined.

    Rematch clause. If Wardley throws that right and nothing else, rematch won't change outcome.

    Not a Dubois fan but he's the best heavyweight in Britain right now for me

    yep, it makes him look like an amateur in there. However, I do like his style and he has got an amazing chin

    True. Taking knees and even quitting is a survival instinct. Wardley has incredible heart but he is a nutter, and that kind of beating can ruin a boxer.

    He was even struggling to walk out of his stool into the centre ring a few rounds before the TKO.

    The next fight to make is definitely Itauma vs Dubois. If Wardley wants to regain glory he needs to fight someone like Torrez Jr or Wilder,,a top 15 heavyweight, get a good name on his career before he can step up to the plate again

    An unnecessary extra round and a half.

    I understand that the whole idea with Wardley is that he's dangerous until he's out of it. But he already was. Couldn't walk to the neutral corner while Dubois still had a spring in his step. In the corner that is easily enough for me. The towel should have been in

    Foster could have stopped it sooner as well. It was a relief when he did, it ended what just became 5 minutes of cringing for it to be over for me.

    Credit to them both. Don't think anybody in the sport could claim to be tougher than Fabio Wardley. Dubois boxed well and capitalised nicely. Also showed his own resilience tonight. Deservedly now the champion again

    Itauma is completely unproven. Not sure why people are so confident he'll just walk through the top HWs.

    That Dubois jab really is impressive

    Actually think he was feeling bad punching wardley in those last couple of rounds, bad corner work there really wardley was absolutely goosed
