    I also lost all my money on the forum, Wardley has now jumped high in the rankings but in terms of boxing knowledge he is not even in the Top 10, he will probably fight for the title while Huni has to come back through a few fights, personally I would like to see Huni against someone on Anderson's level...

    Also, getting up before 10 and being out on your feet doesn't mean the fight has to continue anyway.

    Hate to say it but the fight went as I expected. Huni is clearly the more skilled fighter but I always felt he'd walk into something. He is not very effective on the outside and so was always liable to walk into something big.

    But credit to Huni, he looked fantastic for 9.5 rounds and I think can still has a future in the division if he can learn to be more effective on the outside and not be forced to constantly have to move forward to be effective.

    Stoppage was fine. If you time it with a stopwatch (as I just have) he stumbles up after 11 seconds. It was actually a slow count. I think a lot of people started gloating in the chat, then ended up with egg on their face so they've started crying.

    Justice Huni on the other hand was pure class, both in the fight (apart from a one second lapse) and afterwards. Hopefully he can build back quickly from this and still achieve great things. Seems like a nice bloke and a great sportsman

    I was predicting a Wardley ko so I'm not biased. If there was a count no one heard it. Huni was up; in nearly every case after a ko the ref asks the fighter to walk to him. Huni didn't get that chance. The ref IMMEDIATELY waved the fight off.

    If Huni was stumbling around or not responding to the ref then that's a different story but that story didn't happen.

    Thought Huni would win comfortably and he was giving a boxing lesson there. But bang. No complaints, fair stoppage, but still say Wardely is an exciting accident waiting to happen...

    Interesting take. I'm no Anderson fan but I think a Wardley Anderson fight would be very unpredictable.

    He was stumbling about. He didn't know what planet he was on and he would've taken some serious damage from Wardley who is a madman.

    If only Huni had that New South Wales steel he would’ve won @WhataRock

    Fabio was getting outclassed and as I suspected they would Huni's shaky whiskers failed against the run of play in the fight. I actually missed the KO as was eating and I looked away just before the punch landed. I managed to catch the reply even though it took them long enough to show it but I didn't hear the count. Was it a quick count? I can't say as of now but I'm sure it probably was and if the roles were reversed, as would've been the case with Dubois vs Lerena, the ref would've let it go on and given Fabio every chance

    As much as I like Fabio, he isn't world class and all this talk of world title shots is crazy. He has power but he's still very raw and he has really poor fundamentals and I don't think they can do anything about the later.

    I think the stoppage was alright but I don't know how often this needs to be explained. a 10 count is a count to 10, not a 10 second count.
