Hearn explodes Wardley-Huni referee: “He didn’t even let him come to 10”

Promoter Eddie Hearn was not pleased that the referee did not leave his fighter, but Justis Huni (12-1, 7 COs) continued after beating the score after being dropped by local British fighter Fabio Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KOs) in Ipswich, England on Saturday night.

The premature downtime Wardley rescued from defeat to the better skilled Huni. It was a completely unilateral fight to the miracle. The way the fight ended left a bad taste in the eyes of fans, who felt Huni had received a raw agreement.

Wardley-Huni Controversion: Referee’s downtime

“Well, the referee didn’t even let him come to ten. He actually stopped it, but Justis was slow to get up, ‘promoter Eddie Hearn told the media About the premature downtime by referee John Latham for his fighter Justis Huni in the tenth round.

I agree with Hearn. Referee Latham pulled the battle on the score of nine, and the competition should not be stopped. He seemed to have decided that Huni would not stand up and then failed to make an adjustment after he stood up surprisingly.

It made Wardley look like he was getting favorable treatment because he was a Briton. If the shoe was on the other foot, and it was that Wardley hit the score and stopped prematurely, it would not be a big fuss.

Fabio Wardley’s infected victory

It was a non-brit, Huni, given the business. Wardley was in serious form and needed a miracle. Unfortunately, the results are infected with the black cloud of controversy, but that’s what happens. Poor Huni.

“I thought just that justis boxed so well. He hit himself in almost every round and made him battered. Fabio is so play, so tough that he never gave up. Unfortunately, Justis turned off and he did what he didn’t need to do, ‘Hearn said.

Huni sat on a big lead and didn’t have to endanger himself by doing a right -hand shot in the 10th. If he had continued on the outside to box Wadley, he would have crossed or knocked him out after a one -sided decision.

Wardley exhausted and beaten in that late stage of the fight. He was completely desperate to enter the tenth round. You could see it in his eyes and the way he fought harder in that round than in the three previous.

Wardley Rematch unlikely, says Hearn

“They are (Team Wardley) does not want Rematch Justis Huni. I mean, he (Fabio) almost lost every round,” says Hearn. “But Justis will be back, and he will be back in big battles. There are big fights for him in Australia. There are big fights for him here. His profile went through the roof the roof tonight. Everyone knows that he is a world -class heavyweight. “

There is no chance that Wardley’s promoters will give Huni a re -broadcast. They will achieve this victory and run in the other direction, and want to challenge the winner of the Oleksandr Ulsyk against Daniel Dubois Fight next month. They can also tackle the WBA Secondary Champion Kubrat Pulev for the minor belt. It is a trinket.

With the way Wardley looked tonight, the 43-year-old Pulev would be a risky battle to take him. I would leave Wardley nowhere near Pulev if I was his promoter because he is too limited, and this man has a size and technical ability he can only dream of.

“He took the risk here for four or five weeks tonight, but it was a risk of a lot of money. It was a struggle that we all believe would not be so one -sided, but we felt it would be a comfortable victory,” Hearn said.
