    Fury MD/SD, competitive fight with the scorecards implying Pulev doing better than most score it.

    Notable shout out for the Draw, too.

    :( Hope not.

    Listening to Peter Fury the other day he seems to understand that they need to win clearly and Hughie needs to be proactive.

    Be Pulev on points. No one is going to Bulgaria and winning if its not by KO.

    So many things point out to Pulev by dubious decision that this really has KO written all over it.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Hughie actually pulls off the KO here. Pulev's been inactive and fighting washed up cans for so long now that it's anyone's guess what state he's in.

    Hughie meanwhile appears to be putting a bit more venom into his shots, knowing that he won't be able to win decisions with his pitty pat style.

    Yes, I think they'll go looking for the KO and try to take Pulev out.

    Hoping for Fury KO, but I smell a hometown robbery for Pulev. Miller and Whyte to follow up on youtube with 'told ya so'.

    Pulev's mystery Bulgarian backers repeatedly won purse bids by big margins. Obviously if he was working with them they didn't have to give him the full 75% or whatever the IBF said he was entitled to, but even still, they clearly fancied their chances against Whyte and Breazeale. So what do they know that we don't?

    That they can get away with a hometown robbery in Bulgaria and take a percentage of Pulevs Joshua earnings to profit off their investment :lol:. Even if Pulev loses, Fury can expect what happened to Lucas Browne.

    So Fury is going to completely change his style of fighting and debut it against a top tier fighter?

    Sounds like a disaster in the making. And I have doubts he does change much. Against Kassi he was the aggressor early on but a few overhand rights from little old Fred and Hughie was backpedalling again.

    Without giving rounds away he should be looking to survive the first few rounds and hope that the older man tires as the fight goes on. Then he can start trying to put him down, hopefully with a shot as sweet as that which took out Sexton.

    Hughie by SD, I think he has the reach and skills required to squeak out a points win

    Pulev by robbery after being brutally knocked out in round 1.

    Lucas Browne tested positive against Chagaev in Chechnia and claimed his water was spiked. However, in his next fight outside of Chechnia that idiot tested positive again.
