Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO victory for Dubois over Wardley because the latter is prone to counterpunches and is leaving himself open by putting down his hands every after exchange. Dubois can use this to fire a powerful right-hand punch.
Both are heavy punchers, but I think Dubois will have the better chance of landing a clean shot, especially when he’s on the back foot. He’s very good at finding the best angle to throw his counters and his opponentes are often caught off guard.
Furthermore, Dubois has the experience of fighting higher-level boxers in his career than Wardley. Not to say that Wardley hasn’t fought elite opponents, but Dubois has fought more former and current world champions.
