Excellent, we'll see this fight again after summer!!!

[Lusty]

Wasn't scoring it but a draw seems alright, given the KD and the deduction.

[Alf]

That didn't disappoint, would happily see a rematch. Thought Wardley landed the better shots despite the state of his face & probably nicked it.

Yep I think that is fair enough it was a great fight forget technique and stuff it was pure heart.

Great fight this just like one I saw few weeks ago which was a draw between Heaney v Pauls which I have as fight of the year so far.

[1892tillforever]

Brilliant fight. Wardley has insane heart, Clarke not far behind. A career shortening classic.

[dikwad]

Cant beat a good old heavyweight slugfest 😁

[Clayton Bigsby]

Had it 113-113

[Samie]

For a domestic fight that was pretty damn good.

Fair to be honest. Thought Wardley did just enough but a point either way is certainly okay.

For a domestic fight that was pretty damn good.

I can't fathom how it went 12. Both can punch, neither could block punches, and both were exhausted. It's rare to see two heavyweights having the recovery powers and guts on display. Kudos to both warriors.

[William Regal]

Was shocked with that fight, fancied Wardley strongly before it started,  well done Frazer Clarke, great fight.

[Samie]

Anthony Joshua said his next fight will most likely be in September.

Turkey Shake wants a Wembley card in September, so most likely that one.

[William Regal]

This is the date they'll want Joshua to fight for the vacant IBF belt on

He needs to hope that Dubois doesn't fight in the meantime. If he wins he'll probably go above Joshua in the rankings and then him and Hrgovic will have to fight for the vacant belt.

There's enough money involved to find a fudge, but then IBF are absolute jobsworths with this kind of thing.

As they should be. If only the others were half of pedantic. Certain WBC/WBA Champions hadn't fought for years and got to keep their belt.

Yeah I kind of agree, the only problem I have is their lack of a rematch clause means that the moment you get an undisputed champion the belts get scattered. Other than that they're probably the best of the 4.

WBA have too many belts, WBC are crooks and WBO have the weird Frank Warren thing going on. IBF come closest to doing things right.

[Samie]

The WBU is where it's at lads. Why do you think Ricky HAtton held on it for years? Also big Audley was a champion, that's heritage.

I think they packed it in didn't they?  All about the IBO now mate

Dubois was the WBA mandatory when he faced Usyk, Hrgovic is the IBF mandatory with AJ ranked 3 and Dubois 4.

Haney v Garcia PPV in UK. Lost their minds!

Can't see them getting much take up. Davis v Garcia was included in DAZN subscription, so not sure what makes this a bigger draw.

DAZN lost $1 billion on $2 billion Revenue in 2022. Will be interesting to see how 2023 stacks up.

[1892tillforever]

Dubois was the WBA mandatory when he faced Usyk, Hrgovic is the IBF mandatory with AJ ranked 3 and Dubois 4.

How in the name of God is Dubois ranked #4 with anyone? His best win is captain green piss.

[Samie]

  New way of saying " I'm ducking him".

Canelo Alvarez has said he believes that the David Benavidez fight would be a “lose-lose” for him.

[Andy82lfc]

Good fight that, thought Gill was edging it on points before he got floored.

Survivor Series matchups revealed. 

Neither Wilder nor Zhangs have the legs to last 12 rounds. It could go either way but definitely ends with a KO/TKO.

Wilder looks utterly shot. I suspect Zhang fells him inside the first couple of rounds. He has that puncher's chance but needs to throw it first!

Hgrovic vs Dubois is interesting and can't call it because I don't rate either of them! Beterbiev versus Bivol is one of those top-level, mouthwatering fights that doesn't come around nearly enough.

It looks like a good card on paper; such a shame it's taking place over there.

The Dubois hype has come a long way since everyone was saying he was much better than AJ.

The Dubois hype has come a long way since everyone was saying he was much better than AJ.

His best win is his last one against green piss, which isn't saying much since Miller had beaten precisely no one of any note. Dubois is a triumph of hype over substance. I still have no idea whether Hrgovic is any good, although his fight against Zhang has aged reasonably well.

Haney v Garcia going ahead this weekend as Garcia has been given his boxing license.

Haney by a KO.

[1892tillforever]

Haney by a KO.

Haney should win handily, but I'm unsure about his win by stoppage. It has been eight fights and five years since he last stopped anyone.

Reasonable chance of Garcia quitting on his stool or having an Oliver McCall style meltdown.

I think Haney wins too but how in the fuck did Garcia get a license? He should've been psyche evaluated for fucks sakes.

What if he thinks he's Duran and start's shouting " No Mas"?

Imagine being the worst dressed man in a room that also contains Devin Haney

Reasonable chance of Garcia quitting on his stool or having an Oliver McCall style meltdown.

That's by far the biggest chance of a stoppage to be honest!

Imagine being the worst dressed man in a room that also contains Devin Haney

Add in the fact that Haney appears to be legally blind in that video and his chances of a stoppage win fall IMO

He was money evaluated which matters far more in boxing.
