Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley - DAZN

[Stuntman Mike]

Nah. I think Wardley stops Dubois. Dubois is worse than Parker.

Tougher fight than Parker that would be a great shootout

I'd give Dubois a good chance

Dubois has a better powerful jab and better accuracy than Joe and Wardly

But he has less heart and chin but he definetly has a great chance to beat Wardly

Parker should have taken a knee, or clinched; ahead 6-4 by my scoring. That and a hasty ref cost him.

Wardley is also a little better than we thought, but he doesn't stand a chance against Usyk. But he's gotten THIS far, so who freaking knows?

Wardley keeps throwing even when he's losing momentum; that's what makes him dangerous. However, Usyk is going to have Wardley second-guessing himself, and he doesn't want to get into a chess match with Usyk. Wardley has a puncher's chance, but that's typically not enough to beat someone of Usyk's caliber. Wardley beating Usyk would definitely be upset of the year.

I don't know about early he was badly hurt multiple times and had plenty of opportunity to either hold or throw back, he only has himself to blame.
When you're out on your feet getting beaten all around the ring and the other guys throwing bombs nonstop with many getting through you need to show something either grab or throw back. You can not let a massive puncher unload vicious assaults continually like that and just go into a shell and not expect the ref to jump in.

Delighted for WARRRdley, amazing story, super nice bloke and must watch TV.
Also happy Ordinary Joe lost tbh he's always been overrated to ****, 2nd best HW in the world my a$$!

I thought the gameplan was dumb also from Parker coming in so heavy and trading so much. You do not trade with this guy he hits too hard and thrives in chaos. If it turns sloppy or you exchange with him you're really asking for trouble. He's like a wounded animal when hurt or in a vulnerable position against the ropes, its like when you trap a cat in a corner it's going to panic and claw you to ****. He doesn't have much but he's tough, has gigantic boll0cks and a hell of a punch on him and that's all you need in this garbage division. I keep saying it he'll beat many guys more skilled, experience and supposedly better than him on his power and gigantic balls alone. Sometimes you only need to do one or two things well.
His power, toughness, heart and willingness to let his hands go even when he looks like he is running on empty is a very dangerous combination.

Well said!

Parkers thoughts on the stairs will be dark but he did what he did no one forced him.

He'll own it and pay full respect to Wardley.

[low blows]

That is what Wardley has to do, punch with Parker when he is close.

Ha, he does look like that guy but bulked up...

[Kobra Pulev]

Look at the stoppage tyson - holyfield 1 in 1996. Same ref shhit...

[Toffee]

I am apoplectic with rage !!!

Wardley was pitty patting and Parker was rope a doping a little.

Soooo totally unfair!!!

I thought it was a terrible stoppage. But the fight had already told us something.

Parker is as good a fighter right now as he was before the fight. And I don't buy the idea that he's a better fighter now than when he was a titleist.

I always felt he was good enough to come again and win a title. But he was never what he got billed as after beating Wilder, Zhang and Bakole. Those three are completely uninspiring wins.

I actually think Justis Huni should be considered pretty highly after that. He didn't just outpoint Wardley - he embarrassed him and walked onto a Hail Mary.

Huni was outboxing wardley`s ears off.

Yes, we can say wardley improved since than, but this fact aged well.

I bet there's less than 1K PPV buys which will probably be friends & family...

Parker got the old British screw job

Hope those 1000 people enjoyed

It told us once again that Parker will never get a decent suck of the ol sav in jolly ol Blighty...

...and that Wardley is legit!
