Comments Thread For: Fabio Wardley stuns Joseph Parker with incredible 11th-round stoppage

I am pissed. I’ve been paying for DAZN so I thought I’d open up the app today and get to watch this fight.

But noooo…they wanted me to pay more on top of what I already do? I’m cancelling this crap.

Don't ya know about the upcoming rebranding of DA-ZONE ? Their new name will be KA-CHING!

Fabio gets hit way too much. He is like a Gatti but his body is similar to Deontay wilder in terms of physique, a classic heavyweight body. He is in good shape but he will get mauled by Usyk who is in the same shape. Looks like small heavyweights are having a comeback.

Wardley is an easy fight for Usyk. He gets hit way too easily.

Quite sure Usyk said he's fighting the winner

It makes sense for a number of reasons, especially with Wardley winning. It's another UK stadium fight. The only real alternative was Kabayel and he's now committed to a January date.

What a great fight and what a great victory by Fabio Wardley? This was a very impressive win by Wardley. The kid showed both grit, determination and willpower. After being stunned and hurt on several occasions. He rallied back to win by way of TKO . I tip my hat to him.

So why couldn't HunI and Parker beat wardley? If Fabio can hurt usyk he can beat him. Ajit is better than parker, so maybe ajit v usyk first. But I think usyk wanted Fabio v parker winner

As far as the stoppage is concerned; It was quite dubious at best. Parker was not out on his feet. He was still moving his head but not his hands.

I don’t have a problem with it. It was a split second judgement call by the referee. I’ve seen even worse stoppages then that.

I'm just glad we can drop this whole narrative that Parker is some kind of boogeyman now.

Incredibly bad referee yes.

Well done Wardley, but c'mon, terrible ref Foster.

If Fabio was getting hurt, he wouldn't stop it that quickly. He always finds a way, where possible, to get the British fighter to win, by hook or crook.

The UFC fight too, sorry, Aspinall said no mas. Bad eye pokes for sure, but Michael Bisping fought with one eye.

Stop making it a Britisch thing. Howard Foster is just terrible for me the worst referee ever that constantly is in big fights, he starts panicking you can see it clearly as soon as it gets wild he can't see what happens and just stops the fight.

I agree with your Aspinall take it was a eye poke but he looked for a way out immediately he said i can't see not even waiting for a minute before telling the whole world he can't see but 2 doctors said his eye looks fine

Foster clearly assisted Parker in the second round. I've noticed parts of the online boxing community love just focusing on some relatively small incident and building a huge conspiracy out of it. It was an excellent fight, Foster possibly stopped it a few punches early, Parker seems to have taken it with good grace.

Looking forward to Usyk - Wardley. Parker will come again if he's motivated to do so. He's limited but solid.
