Fabio Wardley v Justis Huni

[Master]

Wardley story is pretty amazing. He started boxing relatively late and had was involved in white collar boxing. In the professional ranks he had some good wins recently and the steep rise has been well earned. He is an articulate and funny man so there is a lot to like about him.

I thought Pulev was lined up for Wardley—it seemed like a logical next step. Not sure what happened behind the scenes, but it’s surprising the fight hasn’t materialized. Maybe negotiations fell through or Pulev’s team had second thoughts. They might be saving Pulev for Itauma. Miller keeps getting opportunities he hasn’t earned, especially after multiple failed drug tests. Hard to justify it when other fighters are grinding for a shot.

Wardley said in an interview that Pulev wanted too much money and they took that to mean that he didn’t want the fight.
I don’t know the figures involved and I know Pulev is an old man now, but look at Pulev’s resume against Wardley’s and why shouldn’t he?

I thought the WBA had ordered the fight between the two. Typically, there's a negotiation period followed by purse bids if the sides can't reach an agreement. So why wouldn't Wardley's camp push for a purse bid and either force Pulev to step up or be stripped of his position? Something doesn’t add up here.

This.

One of the (many) maddening things about boxing. Here's a guy who has repeatedly violated the rules, and yet manages to stick around. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe because there's a definite lack of marketable U.S. heavyweights on the scene today? Who knows. That shouldn't be the reason, because it undermines the credibility of boxing which, let's face it, doesn't need any help being undermined.

That is bad news. Do not know if they can fill a stadium. Depends on who they bring in but good to get Pulev back in. Maybe Ruiz, Hrgovic or Parker.

Good . Hope we’ve heard the end of the prick.
