Daniel Dubious Jaw got spanked twice by Usyk and lost to C-Level Joyce. FRAUDLEY should be chasing Kabayel who DESERVES a world title shot. Not Dubious Jaw.
BoxRec's #3 is fighting its #4. I'm not sure why you have a problem with that.
It's a great fight, may even generate beef.

That's the fella. I imagine him distracting the ref and DDD hitting Wardley with the mega-phone for the win.

I get the feeling this is quite a big fight for Dubois.
A loss kinda cements him as a second tier guy. Nothing wrong with that of course. Plenty of opportunities still for him.

I think Wardley will stop him. Dubious has had his turn,

Absolutely cracking fight, two lads who won’t take a backward step, both have good power, both aren’t hard to hit, should be a real barn burner

With it being local I may even treat myself to a pair of good seats

Gotta go with big Danny.

He has the better wins and a more accomplished boxer.

I definitely agree on paper. Based on past fights, could especially see Dubois’ jab causing facial damage from early. Another factor is Dubois is probably the home fighter here in terms of officiating?

At the same time, I’ve picked against Wardley so many times before and been wrong not sure I can trust my own judgement.

Wardley’s heart and will to win is levels above Dubois. Fabio wins this. What are the odds BTW?

Wardley slight favourite.

1/2 odds of the fight not going the distance is free money.

Honestly I can't picking either one at the stage.

If Dubois uses his decent jab he can win this but it's hard to read what state he'll be in on fight night.

And Wardley is improving as a seasoned boxer all the time. I know that sounds weird but the KO of Easter Island Head was on the command of Davison's tactics adjusted during the fight. Fabio had to stay calm under pressure to deliver the right punch. He's not just winging them anymore, even though it might look like it.

Wardley seems to cut easily and he's in against his biggest hitting opponent, so he needs to survive long enough to give Dubois something to think about. I've gone with a Wardley KO based on Dubois being Dubois, but I can just as easily see DDD catching Wardley clean in the first round or two and that might be the end of it.

People are really liking wardly here. Wardly has always got outboxed but hung around long enough to land the shot. Now he has the power to land the shot again, I just don’t know if he can hang around long enough without dramatic improvement…

DDDs jab is sickening and I expect it to be rocking wardlys head back with surprising ease.

To me wardly is a live dog… but I feel like a lot of people have him a solid favorite.

Allen facing kerim Berredjem

Disappointing choice when there are better guys in the UK such as Matty Harris who could have had a pay day. He beat Dan Barber and I think think Garber is better than Allen's slug

Dubois got stopped by guys who don't hit as hard as Fabio.
Do you realise Dubois is the only guy at heavyweight that Uysk has stopped, and done it twice.
I think Fabio will come in like he did in the second Clarke fight and just waste Dubois.

Fabio gets hit a lot and hasn't fought a serious puncher like Dubois yet. Dubois can seriously crack and will land. Fabio has shown a good chin but he will need an iron jaw to outlast and outman Dubois.

Dubois is far superior to Clarke who should have been stopped by Jamie TKV. You can't compare them.

I really want Fabio to win by the way, but Dubois is his most dangerous opponent yet. If he beats him he's legit number 2, I think.

Parker was laid out against Joyce. Dubois quit through injury against the same guy but wasn't flattened in the same way.
