I love Fabio but if he is in a similar sort of fight again he gets stopped a lot earlier. There is only so much the body can take. McGuigan would be a good fit. He is a great athlete with a huge right hand but DDD pivoted and nullified it and he is hardly a master boxer. He needs to add a bit of nuance to allow it to land
Wardley has got to retire otherwise his nose is gonna fall off like michael Jackson’s. I’ve never seen a fighters whos nose is guaranteed to get badly busted up in every single fight that he has. There ain’t nothing that can be done to repair it or fix so it doesn’t bust open every time he gets hit so for his own health he should consider calling it a day
I agree Mcguigan could be a good fit. He just needs to drill some different attacks - I understand why he hasn't, what he's done has worked for him in every fight so far. But what he needed tonight was to mix it up and that's what seperates the elites.
That's only an assumption. In the same way people said that Tyson Fury's weight gain and body abuse would result in him not being able to move like he did.....The guy still is the best mover in the Division comparison to his size. I remember people were saying his punch resistance would be gone and his powers of recovery....Then he had his undertaker moment against Wilder in the 12th.
He speaks very well and should therefore focus on his long-term health as hearing a sharp guy slurring will be tragic especially when he would do a great job and earn a decent few quid doing commentary on DAZN for years.
He should have been stopped by his corner. Or the ref when he stumbled out from his corner. Last night he took a career ending beating. The best he can do is retire.
He needs to do an AJ and join Team Usyk he's far too tough and brave for his own good and being tough and brave vs a 250lb KO 95% savage puncher like Dubois will shave years off your prime The corner should've pulled him out but given his history of Gatti-esque comebacks even at that stage of the fight when battered to a pulp and on unsteady legs you couldn't completely count him out from salvaging victory from the jaws of defeat
Now Rocky Marciano a late starter to our sport and to put it politely ,early in his career was not a skilled boxer, (well perhaps never was more the point), but his trainer Charley Goldman employed his philosophy of improving upon but not changing a fighter's basic style, i think a good trainer could do that with Wardley, as i get impression Wardley like Rocky would be a eager learner. Ah well Wardley should take time to recover from what was quite a beating, and then reassess his career.
