Fabio Wardley v Justis Huni

[TIC]

i think you're being a bit hard on fabio. his rematch with frazer didn't change some of what you thought of fabio? i remember you saying that you didn't think he could change much from the first fight & he came out & blitzed frazer in a round. i guess you did acknowledge that he's learning. as for moses, i agree, he's a talent but i need to see him in with a contender level guy before i can say if he's the real deal. right now i'd take justis over moses

What you say is fair. But I truly felt that Clarke was a way better boxer in the first fight, but Wardley showed courage. In the second fight, I got it wrong, but in the Heavyweights if you catch someone clean , they’re getting KO’d. And sometimes it happens early or not at all.
I don’t want to say “lucky punch” , but you don’t turn from a slugger into a top class boxer…..unless you’re Rocky Balboa.
And I disagree about Justis and Itauma.
He hasn’t got a boat load of experience , but his resume is probably better than Huni’s.
And a lot of people in the game over here think very highly of him from spars he’s had with top guys.

i agree that frazer was the better boxer. i also agree that with heavyweights often times a clean shot can end things. i like fabio’s finishing instincts. if he hurts you, he’ll finish you, that’s not always the case with fighters. i’m not sure anyone is saying fabio has turned into a top class boxer but he knows how to best use his abilities to land his power. we can disagree on justis v moses. while moses may have a boat load of experience, so does justis. justis also started out fighting ten rounders. i disagree that moses has a better record than justis’. moses’ best opponent is probably a shot to bits mariusz wach. justis has former league legend paul gallen, nothing special as a boxer but extremely tough & was unbeaten in twelve fights with wins over lucas browne & mark hunt. kiki toa leutele, a tough kiwi who deserved a win over demsey mckean, andrew tabiti & kevin lerena. i am aware of most high profile amateurs, especially at the commonwealth & olympic level & thought moses was an outstanding signing for queensbury. justis was an olympic medal hopeful over here before an injury forced him out. moses is taking on mike balogun next, justis is stepping in to fight fabio. i don’t think moses has fought anyone even on andrew tabiti’s level yet let alone kevin lerena’s. we haven’t even seen him fight past six rounds yet. moses could be the real deal, all i’m saying is let’s see him against some contenders before making that call

Huni was hurt by Kevin Lerena in the last round but showed heart to survive.

It’s actually a shame Justis isn’t fighting Itauma. We’ll just have to agree to disagree until they meet one day.
Believe me, I’m not one to go over the top on prospects, especially Brits because they get overhyped to the max anyway.
