That's one of the greatest heavyweight chins I've ever seen. He never went down.

Iron chin, undeniably, but also a big rope handler.

It was really damaging. What I disliked was his team - they tortured the man, while he was obviously finished by round 8. The magic of the lucky power shot was gone because he gassed out. It's what disappointed me in this fight, he didn't deserve it.

superb chin

but i wonder is it cracked now?

maybe he should do an AJ and avoid punchers from now on

Yes, when hurt and in defensive mode, some fighters pull their "last stand" with single and powerful punches, while the attacking fighter has the guard down rather. Yet, as much as his team wants him to win, they must consider not only his state but his opponent, because being dismantled by someone like Dubois might not only impact the fighter's mentality, but the health, as we are talking.

A rematch would be interesting, but I think both must wait 1-2 fights before doing it.

Hrgovic took a LOT of power shots from Dubois also. So it's hard to say if Fabio's beard is any better than Hrgovic's. All these guys must have incurred a lot of brain damage from such a high volume of big shots. I hope Wardley is OK. He's a very likable guy and a really fun fighter to watch.

Scarily good chin, he was discombobulated and getting hit clean with shots he must've not seen at all as he was half way turned around at times and he still somehow stayed upright.
Great chin and the heart of a lion.

Sadly I think it was a career ending beating
