    Great fight but became uncomfortable viewing towards the end.  Should've been stopped sooner.
    Agreed. When all three commentators want it stopped, it shows how hard that fight was.

    Corner should've stopped it a while ago. Maybe because Wardley is undefeated they felt like they couldn't? 

    Poor decision for their own fighter's safety.

    One of the most brutal fights you will ever see. To pick yourself up off the floor twice and then demolish the guy that floored you takes some doing. Wardley so brave but imo was in big danger of being seriously hurt

    First off. What a fight 

    And who would believe that was the same referee who decided George Groves deserved to be stopped in the first Froch fight

    Wardley is going to be struggling a bit today, that was absolutely brutal. He took some serious punishment and i agree it probably should've been stopped earlier.

    How on earth did the doctor who checked him at the end of (i think) the 9th, decide he was ok to carry on?

    I remember listening to a neurologist doing a talk about the dangers of boxing and have barely watched it since. An incredibly skilful sport but far too dangerous...

    Something a bit weird about watching boxing in the nude.

    Cracking fight but gutted Dubois won, find him an extremely unlikeable bloke. 

    Hope Wardley is doing okay. Get a new team to 1. Improve your overall boxing and 2. Pull you out when you are clearly out on your feet and put his safety first.

    His sister is not any more likeable. Blame the parents.

    Must give credit to Dubois fitness, lasted really well despite being heavier.

    In case anyone missed it last night, the full fight (minus the adverts between rounds) is on YouTube

    Amazing fight. Commend Wardley’s bravery, but his trainer needs to take a long hard look at himself. That should have been stopped 3 rounds earlier. You could see the ref was desperate to step in when he did.

    You wonder whether a fighter will ever be the same after something like that.
