And then kick himself if that happens and leads to a repeat. I think he'll come out nice and steady, but I don't trust him to not go ham if he lands a humdinger.

What's weird to me about this fight is that Dubois is technically superior, clear as day, and yet Wardley on points isn't beyond the realms cos he's so tough. Based on the Joyce and Usyk fights, if Wardley can win 2 rounds in the first half with fuel entering the second...
Unless the damage he's taken has suddenly caught up with him. You can sense it on the horizon at this point; hear and see bits of it in his pos-Dub interviews. Healthwise he'd likely have been better off taking a gimme to extend his trauma recovery, but the man's a warrior.
