Wardley hasn't had chance to develop the skills to open Molina up so he has to wait for him to tire first

I’ve got Fabio winning the 3rd and had him sneaking the first (although it was close). Needs to throw more combinations and let the right hand go a bit more.

Wardley was on the verge, Molina punched himself out... that did not look clear, though

Crazy finish. Wardley has a lot of work to do, he shouldn't be in that spot against a 38 year old Molina if he's going to keep his hands that low. Got the win under a lot of pressure at the end though so fair enough.

Weird ending that! Not sure about that display, Wardley got caught easily at times.

Molina started to fancy it a bit too much in the end. Trading with Wardley was his downfall. He was doing well until then.

Still we can't say that Wardley didn't need a few rounds because he did.

Weird finish. Fabio has plenty of physical gifts and is clearly heavy handed but he didn’t throw the jab enough (when he did it was dexent), threw no combinations until the end, didn’t throw the right much at all and was really open to a straight right down the middle and a bigger puncher would have floored him.

Saying all of the above he won again by KO and could be in something good fights.

Molina is a weird one, his rights look so dodgeable, but he landed plenty on hrgovic too. But yea wardy didn’t look great, needs another fight at a similar level.
