I’m using all the old cliches but “You can’t teach and old dog new tricks” besides when you punch as destructively as DDD bouncing on the spot doesn’t really matter. However I don’t know that he could ever have beaten Usyk, he’s an exceptional fighter/boxer and an all time great.

[Nick C @nickcri]

@ClonesCyclone Barry, do you think Dubois should reduce the bouncing on the spot that he does ? While he is mid-bounce he cannot move out of the way and a skilled boxer like Usyk times his punches for just that moment when Dubois is mid-bounce and vulnerable.

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

You can’t however undo the wear and tear he’s taken with the fabulously exciting style Fabio has. You’ve only got to look at his record Dubois twice, JoesphParker, JustisHuni,FrazerClarke twice, DavidAdeleye. Even though he won all the others bar Dubois, it’s debilitating

[Count Dantes @Judeboylemusic]

@ClonesCyclone You only need to look at Fabios face to see hes far from fresh-hes been having wars as far back as the Gorman fight.Shame as he was on the verge of becoming a superstar as the UK public have really taken to him in a way they havent embraced DD.Still time for that tho

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

It’s only my opinion Tyan, as a excellent pro yourself you’ll know that a fight like the first Wardley v Dubois fight can put serious miles on your clock, IE Wardley took tremendous punishment without going over for 11rds but he was dropped in the 1st and stopped 2nd last time.

[Tyan Booth @TyanBooth8]

@ClonesCyclone Barry how can u say that @FabioWardley fresh he’s only lost twice
He can come bk and dominate

I believe a great fight would be

moses itauma v @FabioWardley wow Fabio would knock out Moses

Both at crossroads

@FrankWarren make it happen

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

Agreed Philip I don’t think Fabio should fight anymore, he’s done incredibly well coming from a white collar background.

[Philip Nourse @Phil_Nourse]

@ClonesCyclone to fully recovered. IMO he saw this as a payday which he couldn’t miss out on. £0.5m net after tax & expenses. He took the fight largely knowing the outcome. He may even be totally done with the sport and wanted this last bit of provision for his family. Punditry & movie awaits.

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

The argument of course is, had he been fresher (with more time to recover following the first fight) he wouldn’t have got caught so quickly.

[TheBoxer @GOAT_Ali]

@ClonesCyclone He got dropped after 10 seconds. Nothing to do with waiting or time. He just couldn’t defend properly

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

That may well have been the case but in my opinion he needed a longer rest to enable him to recharge his battery. Again in my experience having watched so many fighters take back to back fights and the first one turns out to be an energy sapping defeat, often they need more time

[J @jagoboxeo]

@shaunrg1985 @IanDarke @ClonesCyclone His face has been like that since the first Clarke fight. Could have waited 6 more months and it would have made no difference.

@ClonesCyclone Love it how some people who had a 2 minute punch up in Wetherspoons 10 years ago think they know more about boxing than you and @curtiswoodhous8 😂😂👊

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

100% Ian, time for Fabio to walk away.

[Ian Darke @IanDarke]

@ClonesCyclone Good time for Wardley to call it a day. Two damaging nights v Dubois. Made good money and his story is inspiring. But he is in danger if he goes on.

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

Listening to you. You’d think that you’ve trained or produced many champions, maybe you could list the Champions you’ve trained over the years or brought through ?

[Nana Einstein @einsteinvoid]

@ClonesCyclone 2) Dubois exposed those weaknesses twice. A fighter can be dangerous, powerful, & successful yet remain technically limited. Surely, as a former world champion, you understand the distinction. Listing his victories doesn’t invalidate the criticism. It simply avoids addressing it!

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

Thank you Philip hope you and your family are thriving 👊👊

[Philip Nourse @Phil_Nourse]

Barry called me about 15-20 years ago to get some opinions on S&C. We had a lovely chat. What a fine man. I was always struck by the humility and intelligence of someone with his stellar CV being so open minded that maybe I could offer one interesting idea. He & Shane. Fabulous.

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

Thomas he may not have had a choice, in order to get the first fight he may have had to sign an immediate rematch clause, after all they were fighting for the WBO Heavyweight Title.

[Thomas Fleming @ThomasF93619148]

I thought this after the first fight, it was a good competitive fight, but once Dubois took control Wardley took a lot of damage I predicted he'll no longer trouble the top of the division, even just psychologically going straight back in the ring with him must be difficult. poor choice going for the rematch.

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

Jonathan everyone is entitled to their opinion but what you’re saying is incorrect, to say Fabio doesn’t have the fundamentals is laughable. You don’t KO former World HW Champion JosephParker and TKO unbeaten JustisHuni and DavidAdeleye if you lack the fundamentals, give over FFS

[jonathan durmont @jonathandu10972]

@ClonesCyclone Because you've been around boxing doesn't automatically make you right Barry. Fabio is limited, fact. He doesn't have the fundamentals that great boxers do, and that's why he's limited. It's not insulting

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

You know as much about boxing as my arse knows about snipe shooting. I’m sure your vast knowledge and experience of the boxing business will confound me. Go to sleep you clown.

[Nana Einstein @einsteinvoid]

@ClonesCyclone 1) Nonsense! You’re confusing punching power and winning fights with technical proficiency. Nobody is disputing Wardley’s victories over Parker, Huni, Clarke, or Adeleye. But those knockouts don’t erase his glaring defensive deficiencies or his overreliance on power.

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

Before the first Dubois fight, he beat former World Champion JosephParker, JustisHouni, FrazerClarke & DavidAdeleye all by TKO, what the fuck are you talking about?

[Nana Einstein @einsteinvoid]

@ClonesCyclone 2) That’s not just the effect of heavy punches. Those are glaring technical deficiencies. What the fuck are you talking about?

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

😂😂

[Carlito Brigante @TomCaldwel88553]

@ClonesCyclone Maybe he did it in secret to get an edge over his sparring partners lol

[Barry McGuigan @ClonesCyclone]

I said in my Mirror article on Saturday that Fabio couldn’t be the same fighter, that he would have to be affected by the huge amount of punishment he took in the first fight. You could see immediately he was hesitant and Dubious just picked up where he’d left off 🧨

[Micktheskinz @Mickskinz]

I don't think I've ever seen a fighter get hit like Wardley did in the first fight and ever be the same again. But was hopefull for him going into this fight.
I was backing him to come out much more selective with his shots and be sharper with his feet, but he was awful from the very start.
It looked like a pro versus an Amateur unfortunately.
For the very short time it was on🤦🥊
