Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois - DAZN PPV

AJ had a career-worst performance vs. Dubois; it was frustrating to watch but for a different reason. He looked like someone suffering from performance paralysis, and Dubois simply ran his ass over. Dubois was doing subtle things to make Wardley miss, but Wardley did himself no favors. Wardley's strength is that he'll swing his way out of a bad situation, but seeing such inaccuracy was driving me crazy. I do understand that the swollen eye was affecting his accuracy too, but he was looking desperate before that. A lot of poor decision making. It seems like Wardley hasn't learned enough to maximize his athleticism. High athleticism + low ring IQ + strong chin + big heart = high drama and entertainment for us, but brain damage for him. Wardley was still reacting, but I think the corner/ref/doctor could've reasonably stopped the fight sooner if they wanted to. It's a title fight, so I do understand giving Wardley a chance to turn it around....but he was getting pummeled. Who's the constant between AJ and Wardley? Ben Davison. Hopefully we see Itauma vs. Dubois next, instead of an immediate rematch. Again you worded things in a way that gives nobody credit Dubois jab is a rocket and will be a nightmare for anybody not named Usyk and its 100 percent what won him the fight last night and set up everything against Joshua aswell

They had a game plan to throw that overhand right and he used it far too early into the fight Ben Davidson seems to be able to find a good flaw and punch that his fighters can capitalise on the opposition but as i was watching the fight i think after the second knockdown Dubois adapted and rolled just under the punches which is what impressed me the most about last night Dubois ring IQ needs more appreciation and Wardly needs less criticism I expected Dubois jab to be the biggest factor last night as its so accurate and closes the range and it was If he bamboozled Joshua with it then i knew it would be a problem for Wardly It set everything up for him Just shows how good Usyk really is.. Dubois quit vs Usyk because of not just the punishment but having little success thats what really took his heart last time out AJ had a career-worst performance vs. Dubois; it was frustrating to watch but for a different reason.

He fought his heart out and left it in the ring. He also lost to someone more experienced, so I don't want to pile on him. After he takes time off to heal, he needs to sit down with his team and have a serious conversation about wtf went wrong. Other than the flash knockdowns, Dubois was working him over. He's stagnated under his current team; there were simply no improvements.

You said it so yourself: Dubois was slower tonight, and he seemed heavier than usual. He's also not defensively agile. Wardley has athleticism, and I'm well aware that it takes more than that to win. But did you see how many fxcking times Wardley missed his right hand? His offense was as basic and sloppy as ever. His only consistent offense tactics were a jab feint and a 1-2. He kept loading up on the right hand, further gassing himself out and throwing himself out of position. Dubois' poise won him the fight. Wardley's corner should've done him a favor and pulled him out earlier because he was getting his ass kicked. Wardly was landing shots and fighting back in exchanges you cant really ask for much more from a fighter to show that they can continue fighting. I was merely pointing out the fact Dubois has good feet and i'd imagine if he was purely defensive much like he was after the knockdown that he has great feet for a heavyweight which is why he can land with such accuracy in most of his fights Dubois says it himself hes a seek and destroy fighter. Hes always had great feet its just he normally uses them to come forward. he has good range to.

He will enter the gates at Asgard I know that much After that beating he might not even be good enough for guarding ass.

Kabayel would be unwise to choose a Dubois fight too quickly. There's a good chance Usyk vacates after Rico match, and so Kabayel gets elevated. That puts an extra 0 on the end of his next fight purse. Once he has that WBC belt, the Dubois fight would become a champ vs champ contest, so it's a much bigger event. It's written in the stars he will be upgraded and since Warren controls both Dubois and Kabayel he will unify the titles at some point.

Aside from a world class 1-2 and chin and heart the rest of Wardley is tough man skill level. It's like he just went from white collar boxing and jumped into world level boxing. Dubois could easily be out boxed tonight as his punches looked slow and ponderous at times and is too squared up on defense. Wardley just had no clue how to take advantage of these flaws. He fought his heart out and left it in the ring. He also lost to someone more experienced, so I don't want to pile on him.

He's stagnated under his current team; there were simply no improvements.

You proved ydksab Dubois has always had quick feet but he is a gambler as he normally uses them to attack but he was put down and forced to think defensively Dubois was probably the slowest hes ever been tonight but he started getting speed when he found his groove Hes always had a quick jab and straight right hand if you dont know that then youre dumb Theres a reason hes at this level and lands absolute bombs on people and it aint because hes in quicksand You said it so yourself: Dubois was slower tonight, and he seemed heavier than usual.

Wardley's corner should've done him a favor and pulled him out earlier because he was getting his ass kicked.

Wardley showed zero growth tonight, it was actually frustrating to watch. He's proven to be tough as nails, but he's his own worst enemy because he fought extremely dumb. Dubois is neither quick nor slick, so for Wardley to miss his right hand so much was comical. Aside from a world class 1-2 and chin and heart the rest of Wardley is tough man skill level. It's like he just went from white collar boxing and jumped into world level boxing.

wardley the warrior fabio the fierce danny the destroyer

Wardley is the worse right hand menace since Wilder. I should’ve changed my pick knowing this.

wardley was just wilder except the difference is wilder extended his career with easy fights for 3-4 years while wardley jumped into a fight against a legit guy

Wardley won a title because of chin, heart, instincts and God given power in his right hand. He has virtually zero skill or technique. My cat could have been in his corner and he'd have had the same success. Ben supposedly watches tons of tape, huge on tape yet every time his fighter goes in there they don't even have a game plan. Fabio made zero improvements as a fighter under Ben whatsoever. Ben gave him no real advice, he frankly should have stopped the fight rounds before but his pride wouldn't let him, he literally ruined Wardleys career in sheer hope he would pull a rabbit out of the hat as he has throughout his career. So selfish, so much ego he'd have literally let him die. He spent the best part of 10 rounds throwing the same telegraphed right hand missing by a mile and gassing out, virtually completely ineffective with it after the 3rd round knockdown. 7 more rounds of this and not once did this supposed great trainer tell him to aim at the chest or how to set it up or to change the trajectory of it. I have no idea why Wardley is paying him, what for other than to hold his spit bucket?

this guy,....,,.@ yeah probably nthing other than taking him from 0 experience to world titlist in 3 years LOL Ruined his career in 3years. Absolute ruined it, he'll never be the same again

Dubois looked slow tonight. When he brawled and got in range with Wardley, he gave away his advantage of the jab and the superior long range fighter. That's why he got dropped early. When he used his jab he was winning 90% of the round (just with that ne single weapon. His jab and his feet alone could have got him a clear lead and then he could have started dropping the bombs but he fought very emotionally and smothered his work inside where he's not that great of a fighter (his short punches are not as sharp and accurate as his longer range punches). Wardley actually showed that he has a good jab when he would flash it but then Dubois would flash his jab and Wardley would stop using his jab. Both these guys were trying TOO hard to overwhelm the other guy without trying to slowly and consistently gain an advantage. I think that's because both were worried about each others power. That's why they were in a rush to take the momentum back when the fell a step behind their opponent. Dubois could have fought much more intelligently but he was always trying to get his "get back". Hard punchers are some of the thoughtless fighters. Always just thinking their power is the most important weapon. That's the flaw with these big guys. It's almost like they're handicapped because of their one punch power. That makes them lazy...They don't want to work the jab to set up the finish. They want the fight to end quickly. Impatience and reckless fighting style. Their trainers should make them train to exhaustion (yet still allow lots of recovery time). They should be forced to focus mostly on just boxing technique and not so much on pure power. A big part of Usyk's strength is his focus on skill, not power. Dubois did a LOT of wrong things in there tonight but he still managed to win. Wardley has skills that he didn't fully use also....BUT it might already be too late for Wardley after that prolonged beating. That was ridiculous. Wardley could barely keep his balance just simply standing during the last few rounds!

Kabayel would be unwise to choose a Dubois fight too quickly. There's a good chance Usyk vacates after Rico match, and so Kabayel gets elevated. That puts an extra 0 on the end of his next fight purse. Once he has that WBC belt, the Dubois fight would become a champ vs champ contest, so it's a much bigger event.

"every baby has a daddy"

Supposedly Turki is trying to make the Kabayel fight in Germany That’s a positive. Kabayel is the one who most deserves it.

It's a risk but i'd still think Moses would KO Dubois and by definition of how the fight would be fought...it would be a pretty early KO.

Who will Usyk fight now, after kickboxer guy? No one wants to see a third fight with Dubois. Supposedly Turki is trying to make the Kabayel fight in Germany
