Comments Thread For: Fabio Wardley: ?I can?t keep taking years off my life?

Huni messed up. His corner messed up even more. If he just boxed economically the last three rounds but he wanted to finish off a 'wounded animal' and got a 'fatal bite'

Wardley is competitive with most HWs. Few have the footwork of Huni.
Off top of my head >
Best footwork in order
Usyk
Itauma
Kabayel
Parker
Ajagba based on Bakole fight
Fury

Superior punching power to Wardley
Joshua
Bakole
Dubois
Zhang

Superior power? Name all they're one punch stoppages that aren't cans?

[Bob]

Impossible.

AJ don't lose to Samoan fighters. He whoops them.

Fanboy alert! Fanboy alert! He's 6-4 shhhhh

I wonder how far can Wardley go with his style " I am blocking punches with my face".

He is next Joyce pretty much.

[Bob]

It's just a fact though dude.

AJ's can't lose to the Uso's that's proven fact but let's be honest they can't really fight from those parts of the world so it's not a positive to AJ.

Huni just got polaxed by a white collar boxer for crying out loud.

The real fight for Aj is Kabayel/Parker rematch, though Huni is more Ajs level.

Exactly Wardley is barley better than Fisher in the mould of face first defence Brazeale.

I can't keep taking years off my life.

Boxers' career nowadays have short life span. He's just beginning to get recognition and he's already hinting at retirement. Just retire man, no one is forcing you to stay.

Why do you come on here to pick at others posts in a snarky manner like you got out the wrong side of bed?
We can all play that game - name Wardley's one punch knockouts that weren't against cans?

I was shocked when the punch landed. I barely saw it live and then Huni was down. The camera seemed like it abruptly changed angles and they are announcing the fight is over.

I like both fighters, Wardley always comes across as a decent fella. He's not the most polished fighter but he can throw heavy leather with the best of them.

While Huni was putting on a boxing clinic throughout the fight, there was always that feeling that Wardley could spark him at any moment (especially knowing how susceptible Huni's chin seemed in the Llerena fight). Sure enough, Wardley cracked that chin like he needed to.

The Wardley KO punch seemed to miss Huni's chin altogether and instead land square on the face and forehead, though. I thought Huni's prominent jaw and reputation for being chinny would be his downfall. He took Wardley's punches well up until that last one. Too bad his punching power doesn't match his boxing ability, otherwise he probably would have stopped Wardley.
Kudos to both fighters. They really brought it.

I wish nothing but Godspeed to Wardley but the bottom line is he cannot fight. He has a good chin and punching power and all but is lacking in fundamentals.

Shows you can get quite good at boxing fast with power and speed and athletiscm.
Fabios life might not be shortened but his fight career might be with wars. Max schmelling lived til 100 years, and jake lamotta til 95,which isn't too bad
