[Fearful_Freddie]

Moses vs DDD next?

[jamesmcdonnell]

Did wardly injure his leg during thr bout?

Seemed to be limping last few rounds

[jameswilson]

Wardley leaving the ring and was not walking down the steps right at all.

[gb]

Ref, doctor and Wardley corner when he was staggering around at the start of the tenth - worst thing I've ever seen in boxing.

[golden_labrador]

Finally that was that. Great win for Dubois. Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE fight! Best Heavyweight Fight of the Decade, Best Heavyweight Fight of the Century up to now. Best Heavyweight Fight honestly that I've ever seen.

i was just disgusted from about round seven

[SticknMove]

Give DDD his props too. His heart was questioned in his career. Put down twice and dominated after.

[Kilburn]

From the second round onwards Wardley could barely time that right hand at all, and looked like a one trick pony with it. I honestly thought it was a given that Fabio would do better than that.

Great to see Dubois back with another big win. Write him off at your peril (unless you’re Usyk).

[Ruthless-RKO]

Oh no!

There’s a rematch clause.!

[Spud MK2]

A truly outstanding fight

[TheLeprechaun]

Wardley was so poor. Great chin though.

[skanksta]

Oh no!

There’s a rematch clause.!

For once i can't see any problem with that.

[keithmoonhangover]

If Daniel Dubois is the second best heavyweight in the world, we are living in the weakest heavyweight division since god was a lad.

[Flump]

Disgusting from Ben Davidson. Hope Wardley is ok.

He was second.

He was also doing the talking. Poor show from all of them.

[Controversial]

From the second round onwards Wardley could barely time that right hand at all, and looked like a one trick pony with it.

Yeah he only has the right hand, I don’t think I saw him throw anything with his left other than the occasional jab.

[Evander]

A fight of ups and downs.
The initial takeaways ...
Dubois jab was really effective and played a large role in breaking down Wardleys style in the end.
Wardleys right hand although a serious power weapon, came up short due to his inabilty to land it, I lost count how many times he threw it and it came up short.
Fight itself was brilliant, loved it, a real both of the boxers wanted it type of bout.
When the dust has settled, both will come out of it looking good.
It's Dubois moment though, he looked a little shaky early on, but weathered the storm, he's definitley good for the clean legitimate win here good luck to him.

[deadpan]

I fear that through being so bad ass (and horribly reliant on the overhand right. How sapping those million misses must have been) Fabio will become very vulnerable from now on.

Good grief Ben.

Ref, doctor and Wardley corner when he was staggering around at the start of the tenth - worst thing I've ever seen in boxing.

That was outrageous ref was gonna stop it but sends him to doctor instead to check his face, really hope he’s going to be ok

[Ruthless-RKO]

The only rounds Wardley won, where the ones he scored the KD’s

[rd350lc]

Can't believe Wardley wasn't pulled out much earlier, not sure what the corner were thinking.
His face was an absolute mess.

Great card all round.

[Evander]

I fear that through being so bad ass (and horribly reliant on the overhand right. How sapping those million misses must have been) Fabio will become very vulnerable from now on.

Good grief Ben.

Makes you wonder exactly what they were saying to him in the corner considering how many times he did it throughout the fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[skanksta]

Shoulda been stopped in R9.

I mean, maybe earlier, but 9 was the perfect opportunity and gave Fab 'one last round'.

[Controversial]

I wonder how much further damage Wardley done to his nose, it looked a right state.

[jlh]

Everyone wanted to stop it but no one had the balls too. Corner, Referee and Doctor was all hoping someone else would stop it instead of them...

[Hagler2002]

Should have been stopped long before the 11th!

The corner should have pulled him, the ring doctors had the chance to pull him, Howard Foster could have stopped it long before be did.

A great watch for 7 or 8 rounds, after that it was a hard watch.
