Comments Thread For: Fabio Wardley dramatically stops Justis Huni to rescue homecoming

He is going to be an easy sell for the casual fan. He is a "one punch and it all changes" type of HW and that draws interest. Can his handlers keep him undefeated until he gets a top end payday?

I think Warren will milk him a little and throw him to Dubois or Itauma than.

It was expected.
MR is only good at destroying prospects and fighters.

Absolutely devastated for Huni. Huni played with Wardley then one Hail Mary Boom. Considering what Huni went through before the fight was Admirable. Short notice. Huni was actually recovering from hand surgery when he got the call . Huni had no sparring he didn’t even hit the punch bag until a couple of days before the fight. Huni will be back hopefully with a full training camp under him . It won’t be Wardley though.

I like Huni. I hope he comes back soon.

Somebody like Makhmudov would be a good comeback fight.

I have some beef with this comment section. First, that was a Hail Mary shot? I thought it was great timing. Second, why dog on a dude when he came up with the win? Nobody has been touting him as the messiah and that is generally when the real dogging takes place (Canelo's last fight, Bud's last fight, etc). We cannot tell definitively what body language is saying and there is a chance he was looking for that specific shot. I don't imagine that to be the case, but it could have been.

Because, in case you needed reminding, this forum is dominated by resentful male losers who genuinely believe their post count is a more impressive achievement than contesting high level boxing matches.

Good performance from Justin Huni 'Although he lost, he fought miles better than I expected. The fundamental boxing skills, and technical ability of Huni was very apparent throughout the entire fight. I think Huni showed he was tougher and more durable than many people thought, and overall? Just a really good fighter. But as I stated before the fight, Huni did not really have the raw brute strength or power to inflict serious structural damage on Wardley. And this is what enabled Fabio Wardley to stay in the fight, and then turn the fight around with his power'.

I suppose this was a great win for Fabio Wardley in terms of the magnitude of the event 'But skill for skill, many heavyweight contenders will be looking at him and believing they can systematically beat him up. I think Wardley's conditioning and endurance levels are nothing special, and technically as a boxer he is quite crude'.

Note: I think Eddie Hearn should consider matching Anthony Joshua vs Fabio Wardley 'I think Wardley would only be a danger for the first 4 to 6 rounds, but soon after that Joshua without any doubt has the ability to systematically beat him up and force a stoppage. I would not particular rate Fabio Wardley as great challenge for Joshua, but? Wardley is the WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion. I am sure this fight can be made very easily between both of the two fighters teams, and Wardley would actually back himself to push Joshua'.

Justin Huni well? I think he has proven himself to be a solid fighter 'It was clear that his Amateur experience and fundamental boxing skills were supporting him greatly vs Fabio Wardley. But he still lost, when really he should have been hyper aware of the danger of Fabio Wardley in those latter rounds. I was not very impressed by the power of Huni, not really being able to damaged your opponents heavily does limit you as a Heavyweight fighter'.

To conclude: Fabio Wardley should enjoy this victory 'But he has got to know that, there is a distance between him and the top level Heavyweight fighters. I can envision Wardley off the back of this win, being given a big fight opportunity really soon. Potentially vs Anthony Joshua or another top level Heavyweight fighter. Fabio Wardley is a good fighter, determined and aggressive but that can only take you so far in this game. Beating Justin Huni may be his peak level win of his entire career, if Wardley does not improve his conditioning and fundamental boxing skills? I think he is there to be beaten up and taken out by multiple top level Heavyweight fighters' etc.

Wardley clearly sucks but he’ has the scary wilder power (not that stiff clubbing peanut head AJ/DDD power)
