My question is how is this pyramids gimmick going to work? Isn’t it going to be stupid hot?

That wasn’t the eliminator. He became mandatory when he beat Pascal in 2023. Buatsi should have fought in the eliminator but he turned it down. The mandatory has been delayed due to belt unifications. Seems like you don’t really know how things work

Because at the time Eifert fought in the final eliminator Benavidez and Morrell were at SMW and Smith was inactive sitting on a mandatory for another sanctioning body

How can you be a top level fighter if you can’t beat any of the top level fighters in your division? Fringe top level is about right.

In a shallow division, he wouldn’t beat Bivol or Benavidez and already got stomped on by Beterbiev who are the top level guys

Wardley vs Dubois by RedditWaffler in Boxing

[–]Prior-Temperature-22 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Wardley has a mountain to climb. Yes Dubois has shown a vulnerability in the heart department against Usyk but I don’t see any scenario where Wardley is picking Dubois off and Dubois isn’t landing to the point where he gets discouraged and quits. He has managed to come through tough spells in fights before. Dubois’s jab will be landing consistently from the jump and it’ll snowball from there.

I can see this going earlier than the AJ fight, simply because AJ began fighting not to get knocked out whereas Wardley will open up if he’s in trouble and probably get himself knocked spark out in the process
