    You guys are in for the shock of your lives. Hughie is knocking Pulev the **** out. Did you even watch the Sam Sexton KO. The most exquisite technically perfect KO of the year.

    Pulev is better than Parker and Parker won 119-109 in my card. I gave one round to Hughie because he landed a nice uppercut. I guess people think this is like Klitschko-Fury and Hughie will run away with questionable decision but I don't think so. This is Bulgaria, Hughie will not get anything for free.

    Hughie the hype job. No offence to the guy, but he was terrified of Joe Parker, absolutely terrified. Lol

    Hughie in beast mode for the fight. Alarmingly his hair is thinning at a rapid rate. Poor Hughie is losing the dashing Elvis-tier good looks that have won him his legion of female fans but he's still a joy to watch in the ring.

    I think Fury is going to have a lot of trouble with a 37 year old Pulev. Pulev's conditioning and stamina is not an issue. Pulev is more aggressive than Parker, has a nice jab and works the body well. The best way to slow down a runner is with body work.

    Pulev has his flaws but unless Fury lands some meaningful punches in this fight he loses on the cards or on the seat of his pants.

    Let’s hope so,can happen to anyone,look at Crawford against Postal,word was that the networks wasn’t happy with that and since then he’s definitely made an effort to be more exciting.
    Could well be the case with Fury and let’s be honest here,Parker made AJ look boring and many others.

    Dunno maybe Pulev of five years ago but against Chisora he looked very one dimensional

    And that's his best performance post Klitschko. If Hughie finds a way past Pulev's jab (which Chisora couldn't do) which I think he will with his fantastic movement that he posesses, then I think he wins easy. Pulev doesn't really offer much else and is a bit of a robot himself.

    ****ing so pumped for this. Not many HWs have the moxy and balls to go over to Bulgaria to take on Pulev. But the Fury boys are a different breed.

    I am still wondering should I go to the fight... I feel like it will be a complete snoozefest but heck this will be the only big boxing event in Bulgaria in the next 25 years..

    Not sure why people are down on Hughie...
    His performance against Parker was comparable to AJs, he would have kept the belt had he entered the ring with it imo.
    I like watching HF since his footwork is exemplar esp for a HW, his shot selection is coming on well and Pulev is the perfect fight for him.
    Aside from his cousin, he's easily the best pure boxer in the division. Should box his way to victory at least half the time against the entire top 10 (bar Tyson F).

    He's yet to disappoint me and is still very young for a HW, getting better with every fight.
    Surprised me he is not a heavy favourite here, even in Bulgaria.
