Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois & Jack Rafferty vs. Ekow Essuman + David Morrell vs. Zak Chelli RBR.

Manchester is saying, get away and get the main event on!

 

Ha! This was a good and responsible Conner stoppage. He had no chance of wining. No pop, nothing. Why should they let him be a punching bag and take an unnecessary beating

 

What is about these fighters screaming in the ring? Its really off putting

 

It maybe awhile before main event. They are still getting hands wrapped. Then need to warm up.

 

Dubois beats Wardley, and that ramrod jab is key.

Wardley takes a lot of jabs, but he can’t afford to do so against Dubois, and the power of that jab will really offset Wardley throughout the fight and make him struggle to set things up, as he has to show a lot of respect to it.

Dubois’ jab can drop him if he’s not careful, that’s how powerful it is, and Wardley doesn’t usually slip side to side to counter the jab, so he may be forced to retreat where he can’t get punches off as well.

Dubois on points.

Dubois shouldn’t engage too much here, stick the ramrod jab on him and let the opportunities come, don’t trade with Wardley as he has a great chance at beating Dubois to the punch in the trades due to greater speed and unconventional trajectory, and he can’t afford to get clipped clean.

 

My god Dev "Bacon" Sahni is insufferable.

 

It’s 7.30am Sunday morning The Prowler just crawled out of bed it’s cold here in Sydney.

 

Yeh he looks solid does rafferty, could go a long way imo

 

I think we sometimes forget that they are trying to create interest and sell tickets. They need to fill arenas, draw crowds to their fights.

 

Don't worry you didn't miss anything

 

Walker's moved up to 154 I'm pretty sure. Harlem Eubank would be a decent test for him at this stage I reckon.

 

That's it in a nutshell, but I don't think Dubois has the intelligence and discipline to stick behind the jab. He will get dragged into a war, and that plays into Wardleys hands I think. I will be more impressed with DDD if he can fight disciplined behind the jab and shut Wardley down than the Joshua destruction to be honest

 

I agree with that; if Essuman was allowed to fight on I don't think it would have changed the outcome, but Essuman is the archetype of a fighter that comes on in the second half. Lest we forget Essuman was getting pieced up in the first few rounds against Josh Taylor but turned it around.
