Warrior Wardley needs to reset now

He should wait till 2027, that was a rough beating.

 

He went out like a champion, and he needs a long break from boxing and possibly for good.

 

I don’t think he can really change because what made him successful is his ability to take a shot and then throw back. He also started boxing late and there’s defensive habits you won’t overcome

 

There’s certain things you can teach but Fabio will never change his style because that’s what he’s known for and why people love him.

 

He is what he is. A very late start to boxing. He isn't going to be anything other than a granite chin fighter with power in both hands for 12 rnds. He isn't going to outbox anyone nor will he become slick and avoid punches.

 

Honestly, I think he needs to get into broadcasting. He's very good at speaking in interviews and is quite smarter than the average boxer. Put a mic in his hand and let him replace some of these terrible British commentators.

 

The flash knockdown was about the worst thing that could have happened to him. He threw with abandon for the next four rounds and was various shades of gassed after that. Tbf that looks like the only way he could have beaten DDD but it led to an awful beating which could have been lessened if he was better paced.

 

The thing is though, you can't adapt the same way between 21 and 31 compared to 11 and 21, despite both being a ten year gap.

You see this in every kind of sport, both the most physical ones and the ones which are mostly mentally challenging ones, like Chess as an example.

I'd put it like this....At 11-21, you can still elevate your ceiling. But at 21-31 you can only work towards getting closer to said ceiling. At least at a Professional level anyway. Of course, if you haven't been in a gym in your life until 31, you can obviously be in a better state by 41, but you're never going to be where you could have been at 31 if you started at 21.

 

He should have a break and change trainers. Id sugest McGuigan, for me he's the best trainer in the country and he consistently improves his fighters and IF Wardley exercises that rematch in clause, McGuigan obviously has a lot of knowledge about Dubois.

 

Granite chin will now be gone.
