Demonstration of the power of Hani
The 25-year-old Huny hurt South African Potgieter with a right hand to the head in two rounds. He then landed several more hard shots, and referee Phil Austin stepped in and stopped the bout. The timeout was at 0:33 of round two.
Australian Hunny looks slow but powerful with his right hand. He didn’t have to worry about anything coming back from Potgieter, which was lucky for him. It will be interesting to know why Potgieter was chosen for Hunny as he is out of form and looks very old.
Hunni fought to defeat Kevin Lerena in March last year and was getting lit by him in their 10-round fight. He barely won that fight. Tonight was more about giving Huni a soft opponent to look good on.
It’s too early to tell how far Huni can go in the sport. In order to get a decent payday, one must rank high enough for World Cup casting. Like IBF champion Daniel Dubois, he doesn’t seem ready to fight the big dogs in the division.
“The more I move, the better I get. I have some injuries to take care of, but I will be back in the ring as soon as possible,” said Justice Hooney. DAZN Following Shaun Potgieter’s second-round knockout on Wednesday night.
“I leave it to my team. They have done a great job with me so far. I believe I can go all the way. “
It was good to see Justice take on Moses Itauma. That will be an interesting fight between the two hard punchers. Both are similar in the way they move forward with slow feet and are easy to hit.
“This guy is almost there. You’ve got another potential heavyweight champion in Justis Huni. He’s top 15 in three reigns,” Eddie Hearn said. “The strength and conditioning team has done a great job. The momentum is back.”
“Confidence is back. As he said, it is causing a little damage. You’ll see him back in a few months. A big 2025 for Justis Huni.
