    He barely beat a guy who isn't even British level and you make a thread claiming he is "just excellent".

    LMFAO

    Nice guy. We did rounds with him in 2020 in prep for a couple of his fights. The man's a gentlemen.

    Huni is a really good boxer with great aweness and at what 27 years old ? will have a strong career , yea he did get parked up but as we all know this can happen as it's heavyweight boxing , however IF he has got a suspect chin his continued learning will teach him to box accordingly as he's no dummy . I see Huni as a heavyweight Amir Khan at this point and after early problems Khan went onto have a strong career in the sport .

    Clarke came in fit, refreshed and probably improved too but Huni overcame him. Decent win.

    Huni is a good boxer, but won't win a world title

    You have to admit it was one of the fastest 10 counts ever tho? Ref counted to ten in about three seconds lol, and Huni STILL got to his feet. He was wobbled, but that’s understandable since he had to get up so fast. Was a questionable stoppage (as a lot of Wardley’s have been).

    I expected a more convincing victory for Huni.

    He's not known as Floats like a Butterfly, stings like a bee for nothing.

    I rewatched the fight with the stoppage in mind, and to be honest, it’s a bit more questionable than I originally thought. That said, it’s still not a terrible stoppage and can be justified. The Parker stoppage, though, was straight garbage.

    Fair analysis. However, like I’ve said before, he took this fight coming off a KO loss, a long layoff, and dealing with the death of his longtime trainer, and he did not "barely beat him." I think Huni is better than Anderson and Torrez. Wardley does have skill, but he’s a bit overrated, but if you watch Huni for the first nine rounds, I cannot see how you wouldn't come to the conclusion Huni would outbox a lot of fighters in the top 10.

    Thanks to a dishonest UK judge, it was just a MD win.

    A fair and honest judge would have scored the fight a wide decision win for Huni, something like 98-92.

    2 judges scored it 96 - 94, they think it was a close fight too.

    If Huni was "excellent", he would win it by KO or a wide UD.
