    Daniel and Charles know exactly what Fabio is now both offensively and defensively and one training camp isn't going to give Fabio the time to add new tools to his tool belt. I think Fabio is reading and believing his headlines a little too much.

      Willie Pep was shockingly ko'd by Sandy Saddler in their first fight then boxed spectacularly in the sequel to win a UD.

      However...Fabio ain't no Pep. He'll be beaten up again. You can't teach a new dog old tricks.

        At least he has the balls to call it, unlike AJ. But how does he plan to make up for the lack of some fundamentals until the rematch? It will be harder for him, while easier for Daniel.

          I predicted Dubois would win by KO in the first fight but I knew that Wardley was really dangerous. I truly believe Wardley could win if he brushes up on a few things. His one punch explosiveness is a formidable weapon. After he dropped Dubois I thought Wardley was really way too reckless in rushing his work and throwing wild, crazy haymakers. Had he been more measured and patient AND used his jab to set up his follow up punches, he may have got the job done. He exhausted himself by throwing haymakers all night. When he used his jab it was actually quite good. Dubois has a good jab too and that helped Daniel. The jab was the key to winning that fight. Less caveman tactics and more controlled aggression is the formula for a win.

            Usually there's some strategic angle... it's the best fight he can make, most money he can earn etc.

            In this case I just think that he's a double hard bastard who took the hardest fight imaginable as a voluntary and will take it as a challenger.

            Good luck to him. Every chance he gets beaten up worse but he won't care about that. He's one tough ****er.

            Also a chance that he nails Dubois and he quits. Although everyone is ****ing on about Dubois' heart - he got hit twice in that fight and **** his pants both times. The same Dubois is still there. You just have to force it come out.

              I don’t think it’s smart to go do directly into the rematch coming off of that beating.

                Rematch will end in an early KO either way imo, likely by Dubois

                  First time stepping up and PLOW.

                  Going back for seconds, Wardley?

                    What is this thing with these rematch clauses? I really think immediate rematches should be done when a decision was controversial like Davis vs Roach or it was a super close fight like Beterbiev vs Bivol or Inoue vs Nakatani. Maybe add fights in which an injury forced a fighter out but it was close beforehand.

                    This fight was a beatdown. Even in both knockdowns DDD was never badly hurt and Wardley just lacks the basic fundamental in both offense but more important defense. I remember me saying three years ago how is this guy always ducking to his right side turning his head facing the canvas and closing his eyes. And still he does the same thing and as more tired he gets as worse it gets like it is always when you lack fundamentals. The fundamentals help you to stay in a fight mantaining a solid form even when dead tired.

                    DDD will have such high confidence knowing he can take his punch and being a far superior boxer. Wardley blew his best shot when DDD came out unsure and scared but realized quick nothing to be scared i can win with a simple jab.
