Didn't look it last night Once dubious started using his jab and Wardley couldn't find his right hand anymore he had nothing... Both looked poor if you ask me How AJ made Dubious look so good is a mystery. AJ is a bum is the conclusion.
As already pointed out by a few in this thread Wardley does have some World Class attributes chin,heart,power,determination but what he clearly lacks is the boxing basics. In the early few rounds when it was messy and scrappy Wardley was fine however once Dubois listened to his corner and started jabbing and got back to boxing he took over the fight. If Wardley is to continue his career he needs a reset and a new Team around him that is certain,with Wardley’s unorthodox style I think Dom Ingle at the Wincobank Gym would be the ideal choice to get the best from him imo .
Haha great. Everyone is overrated. [These days?] Name 10 fighters that clearly win against wardley. (And i picked dubois to win)
I may be biased but I pick Parker and Huni to beat hip by decision in a rematch Dubois beats him too Kabayel Usyk Itauma Hrgovic Bakole
This. You pretty much said it all. It’s disappointing that Wardley hasn’t improved at all since beating Parker.
You don't beat Parker or even be competitive with an in form Joe Parker if you're not ''world level'' There's levels to world level and Dubois might be the second best heavyweight in the world right now and Wardley is likely around 8-10.
He was on a good run, has world class attributes and beat Joey 11 rounds Parker, who I consider a gatekeeper to the world level. So I would say yes.
Wardleys had 3 fights at the world level. 32 rounds. Hes won 9. Wardley can win at the world level but hes KO or bust.
He stopped or knocked out J-Park, Huni, Clarke, and Adeleye, was a world champion and ranked the #2 HW in the world so yes he's world class but it's his power, chin, heart and toughness which are world class not his skills which are not world class. I was disappointed with his performance and whilst I said at the time that Dubois getting dropped that early was the worst start for him, because I thought it would cause him to get flustered and take him out of his game, it didn't really affect him and I think it was actually worse for Fabio because it lulled him into a false sense of security and he kept spamming right hands all night missing with at least 95% of them. I actually thought we might see some technical improvements from Fabio in this fight because we saw some from him in the J-Park fight but alas he seemed even worse than ever
Is Anthony Joshua world class? as Dubois mowed through him like he was a glorified journeyman, with absolute ease. Wardley, On the other hand, put Dubois down twice and at least won a couple of rounds. He’s world class with limitations. I would put Wardley roughly on the level of Ajagba or Vianello in terms of overall ability, but with a higher athletic ceiling.
Obviously. He was 20-0 & WBO champion.. & considering he had no amateur experience he's done incredibly well. You don't necessarily have to be some high IQ slick master boxer to be considered 'world class'.. other attributes can attain you that moniker.
