杜波依斯第二回合2分21秒终结沃德利 卫冕WBO重量级金腰带

伦敦——WBO重量级冠军丹尼尔·杜波依斯10月17日晚在伦敦O2体育馆与同胞法比奥·沃德利的二番战中,以压倒性表现于第二回合2分21秒终结对手,成功卫冕金腰带。
比赛开场仅17秒,沃德利就被杜波依斯的一记直拳打得双腿发软、接受读秒;第一回合末段他再遭一轮重击,靠回合铃声才免于被终结。第二回合,攻势依旧猛烈,沃德利的教练本·戴维森掷入毛巾认输,裁判史蒂夫·格雷随即终止比赛。杜波依斯的职业战绩来到24胜3负(23次KO),沃德利为20胜2负1平(19次KO)。
两人今年5月曾在曼彻斯特进行一番战:杜波依斯两次被击倒(第一次发生在开场16秒),但最终在第十一回合逆转取胜、从沃德利手中夺走这条金腰带。沃德利此前于去年11月在乌西克放弃头衔后,被升为WBO冠军。
杜波依斯赛后说:「法比奥是个很棒的小伙子,这是他第二次来挑战,但这是我的时代、我的纪元。我从一开始就怀着恶意(bad intentions)。」他还说:「第一次交手时我们被逼到了墙角,这一次我们就是要走出去、表明我们是来真格的,今晚我们做到了。」另据路透社报道,克罗地亚拳手赫尔戈维奇已向杜波依斯下战书,要求进行一场头衔统一战。
Dubois Stops Wardley at 2:21 of the Second Round to Retain the WBO Heavyweight Title
London — WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois retained his title with a one-sided and devastating second-round stoppage of fellow Briton Fabio Wardley in their rematch at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night, the fight being waved off at 2:21 of the second round.
The champion made a storming start, and Wardley's legs went from under him for a count within 17 seconds of the opening bell after a straight right hand. Wardley took a further pounding at the end of the first round and was saved by the bell, but there was no escape in the second: his trainer Ben Davison threw in the towel and referee Steve Gray stopped the contest. Dubois improved to 24 wins and 3 losses with 23 knockouts; Wardley fell to 20 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw with 19 knockouts.
Dubois had dealt Wardley his first defeat as a professional in their first meeting in Manchester last May, coming back from two knockdowns — the first after 16 seconds — to take the title in the 11th round. Wardley had been promoted to WBO champion last November after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title.
"Fabio is a great boy, coming in for the second time, but it was my time and my era. I had my intentions, bad intentions from the beginning," Dubois said afterward. "Our back was against the wall the first time — this time we just had to go out there and show that we mean business, which is what we did tonight." According to Reuters, Croatia's Filip Hrgovic has challenged Dubois to a unification fight.
