Hughie Fury vs Kubrat Pulev

Anyone else watching?

 

[Shorehamkid]

I'll be watching... not sure I rate Hughie too highly but Boxing is often about timing and I think Kubrat Pulev's best days may well be behind him (kudos to Hughie for travelling too).

Also a decent enough looking bill on Sky, short on 'marquee' names but plenty of 50/50 looking fights across the card.

 

[BensGrandad]

What time? Assume its on Ch 5.

 

[TomandJerry]

What time?

Not sure what time ring walk is but programme starts at 9pm

Ofcourse, not knocking the sky card, just some live boxing here for those of us without sky

It was more a heads up to anyone who wasn't aware it was on, kinda gone a little under the radar. Back to the Hughie fight, I'd be shocked if it doesn't go 12 rounds...

Hughie would be best to go for the knockout, since Pulev is in his hometown.

100% agree, not sure he carries the power though?!

We are about to find out

 

[TomandJerry]

Hughie doesn't look like he has the power. Pulev winning on points so far

 

[Leegull]

Fury lacked power and blew up for the last few rounds. Disappointing effort really.

 

[TomandJerry]

Pulev becomes Joshua's IBF mandatory....



...no issues for AJ there then

Very straight forward defence if it happens..

 

[Hendrax]

Ibf mandatory against AJ. Shows how poor the IBF is and why a lot of people don't even consider it.

 

[BensGrandad]

One Fury out of the reckoning so just have to wait for Wilder to beat the other.

 

[Algernon]

Flabby Hughie Fury making a mockery of boxers who put the effort in.
I'm sure I heard the commentator state something about him putting in the miles running up and down the hills around Bolton.
Up and down the hills? Yeah, if that's where his favourite chip shop is.

Not sure he was that flabby.
His problem is he lacks power.
His physique is all wrong for elite heavy weight boxing
Whatever the case, we are talking about a domestic level fighter
