I've seen Huni fight only once and I wasn't that impressed. Even his manager said zhan was terrifying lol.
I wouldn't be surprised either way. A lot of people don't realize that Huni's last opponent was a world medalist and not some random clubfighter who just happened to give him a hard fight.
I'm going to go watch some Shaw after I finish two more episodes of this show I'm watching. I don't think I've seen him, actually.
I watched Shaw's fights, his style is similar to Anderson but with less power, but I still think that Shaw is a better fighter than Ajagba, Kossobutskiy against Huni sounds interesting, but I prefer Kossobutskiy because he is the more proven fighter so far...
Zhan Kossobutskiy is a very good heavyweight, but he needs to fight some meaningful opposition soon because he's age 34. Huni who is just age 23 is a decent opponent, although somewhat "high-risk, low reward" for Zhan. I'd sooner see Kossobutskiy or Huni in with some overrated heavyweights like Hunter or Whyte to get rid of the heavyweight division's deadwood, but those fights are unlikely to happen. Shaw-Ajagba is a decent matchup.
2 decent fights to be honest.. pick ajagba ot win and kossbutskiyy.. but huni is young and could still be a future contender in 4-5 years
If Huni loses we should still give him credit for taking on such a difficult fight so early on in his career. It seems a bizarre fight though because Zhan is unknown to casual fans. Not sure what his manager / promoter is thinking.
This year: Justis Huni vs. Browne = just talking Justis Huni vs. Briedis = just tamking now Kossobutskiy.. I don't think they gonna put him inside with him. Zhan would pawn him like Joyce did with Parker
The promoters want to keep the top 15 full of aging scrubs that pose no threat to the top guys in the division.
What Ajagba needs is the late great Curtis Cokes to teach him to box / punch like he did Ike Ibeabuchi. Ike was like him when he arrived from Nigeria seek & destroy type. From what Ive seen no one has done that with Efe. Great trainer, Great guy Curtis R.I,P, my friend
