Fabio Wardley vs Justis Huni II

What do you mean by a 'lucky punch', do you think Wardley was aiming for someone else and it just happened to hit Huni?

Wardley spent ten rounds carefully setting up that punch, feigning exhaustion, luring Huni into a misplaced confidence, then enticing him forward and tricking him into dropping his guard just at that moment. It was a masterclass. Just because casuals don't see the traps, it doesn't mean they are not there!

 

For me it would be great to have a rematch considering how the fight went. Huni has shown that he can beat Wardley, although it is certainly never easy to get back in the ring with a fighter who has knocked you out.

 

Wardley is using this "win" as a springboard to better paydays. The British public love HW underdogs from 'enry Cooper to Frank Bruno to Fraudley Harrison. He is being groomed for a title shot where he will inevitably get ko'd.

Too bad because he seems like a decent guy but he is putty in the hands of Bricktop.

 

There is no way Wardley would take a rematch he was getting his ass handed to him before the KO he doesn't want to go through that again.

 

No value in this being replayed again.

Huni was brutally stopped and Fabio would stop him even earlier in a rematch.

Lets see Huni stepping up again more to his level and seeing how he does.

It is not difficult to outbox Fabio, Simon Valllily and a shot Eric Molina outboxed him before being plastered all over the canvas.

 

Don't see Wardley signing that one

 

If Huni is really that great, he should challenge Kabayel.

 

Tired of pointless rematches in Heavyweight division.

Let Huni rebuild his name and let Wardley move on to bigger things.

 

Love the sarcasm but, the point still stands, Huni was wide open and square on going in with a loose guard, Wardley threw a punch he'd tried to land before and it connected. Was it intentional? Was it heavily drilled muscle memory? Either way, there ain't nothing lucky about it...

 

Agree for now a rematch is off the cards. Still, give it several years. If both stay competitive and change their style slightly it could even things out. Huni got some time to reinvent himself. Wish all the best to the lad.

I agree that there’s no such thing as a “lucky” punch, to suggest that Wardley spent 10 rounds laying a trap that a clearly and vastly superior boxer just walked into is the most ridiculous thing I have read in here in many a day.

1) Wardley isn’t exactly the most intelligent fighter in the world and spent 9.5 rounds chewing leather.

2) in a 12 round fight, do you really expect us to believe that Wardley gave up the first 9 in order to lay this alleged trap? That’s rubbish. There was nothing in the lead up to the KO shot that suggested Wardley was lining Huni up for anything. Huni got a bit careless and got caught walking into one. That happens but it wasn’t any great trap set by Wardley. Only an idiot believes that.

3) You’re selling this idea that Wardley had one trick, and that Huni was always going to fall for it. He got belted for 9 rounds. He’s not exactly George Foreman in the ring-IQ department. When Foreman lost almost every round against Moorer you could actually see what he was doing to set Moorer up. He threw some wild left hooks to straighten Moorer up, and he landed some straight rights before the KO. Well Wardley did nothing that resembled anything that looked like a trap. Huni got sloppy momentarily and paid for it. But it had zero to do with anything Wardley had set up beforehand.

 

Great post absolutely spot on

 

I see Wardley and more fast stoppage than in the first fight

 

Think it's more a case of Huni getting sloppy. Wardley capitalised on his chance like a champ should. Great power and precise shot.
