    Comments Thread For: Unstoppable: Being a puncher makes you a danger both to others and yourself

    Referees, like Howard Foster, are only human and they, like us, will have preconceived notions of fighters' strengths and weaknesses, writes Elliot Worsell

    ...and had he not dramatically knocked out Justis Huni from a losing position in 2025 ?
    The answer is NO.

    Wardley did NOT dramatically knock Huni out. He dropped him on a lucky punch cos Huni got loose.

    Huni was then given a quick count and on his feet before the ref stopped it

    And why no mention of Joseph Parker's egregious early stoppage to Wardley by said Howard Foster when Parker had not been dropped ?

    Parker was nowhere near the state Wardley was in from round 7 vs Dubois...

      I was asking myself that same question. The glaring inconsistency of Foster's actions in 2 HW title fights, less than 6 months apart, both featuring Fabio Wardley, leaves a very bad taste and I'm astonished it wasn't mentioned in this article.

        Once I saw Wardley stumble sideways barely able to stand and the round hadn't even started, I had to laugh. This is an other 'follow the money at your own risk'.. To make it that obvious speaks volumes, the powers that be aren't even worried about getting caught.
