    Morrison wouldn’t be able to get him out of there, and that would be bad news for Morrison.

    That’s if Wardley himself doesn’t take Morrison out early. I could see Wardley timing him early and stopping him, and I could also see Morrison going for it, gassing out and getting stopped later.

    The only way Morrison has a chance is if he boxes how he boxed Foreman, even then I wouldn’t favour him.

    Depends if Morrison respects his power. If he does, this is a 12 round shut out. If he doesn't somebody's chin is getting checked.

    I don't think Morrison's chin would hold up and he wasn't an amazing outboxer either.

    Would be brilliant action in the early rounds though.

    You don't have to be an amazing boxer to beat Wardley IF you can stay away from his equaliser. He outboxed old Foreman and likely for the same reasons he'd have to against Fabio...fear factor. But. Tommy liked to bang. Kid always showed up for a FIGHT.
