Prediction: Joseph Parker by Stoppage
Result: Fabio Wardley by Stoppage
Wow what a fight here that was completely unexpected. I was wondering if Wardley could do it again but I thought it was very improbable. Somehow he did it again. Definitely an early stoppage but not the worst one ever. This fight was a ton of fun and both guys were hurt badly. Somehow there were no knockdowns but both guys landed bombs. Credit to both guys for a great fight and that was a very unexpected performance from Wardley who looked great. Shame for Parker who may never get his title shot now but Wardley deserves it. Some run he’s had. Looked tough but limited against Clarke and Huni yet he’s beaten both and now Parker, ready for an undisputed shot. What a career trajectory from the white collar rings to the world stage.
