Sean Crose

By: Sean Crose WBC heavyweight titlist Daniel Dubois defended his belt successfully Saturday at London’s O2 Arena. Perhaps “successfully” is an understatement. The truth is that Dubois completely mowed down former world titlist Fabio Wardley in two hard hitting rounds. Sure enough it seemed that Wardley was never in the fight. He got rocked early and never truly recovered. This fight was not like the previous one the two men had which had a back and forth element to it. This one was all Dubois.

By: Sean Crose He had no doubt taken some good shots. In fact he had gone down twice throughout the fight. Still after all he had been through Daniel DuBois was not going to call it quits. That more than anything else is why the man won the WBO world heavyweight title by besting Fabio Wardley within the distance earlier this year. It was an interesting, brutal affair which is why the public’s desire for a rematch made all the sense in the world.

By: Sean Crose It wasn’t so much that Sebastian Fundora defeated former world titlist Keith Thurman last March as it was the way Fundora defeated his fellow Floridian. Thurman, who had only been defeated once and that was to the legendary Manny Pacquiao, was completely overwhelmed and outgunned. Thurman, the colorful, hard hitting potential Hall of Famer, didn’t make it to round seven.
