    Hugie has some balls after 2 bad loses at such a young age

    I fear this will be loss number 3 however

    Totally acceptable along with a few other matches

    I think fury wins this. Povetkin has 4 good rounds and that's it. He might not even have that now. Add to that a long time out of the ring. I think fury wins on points.

    It may prove to be excellent matchmaking by Hearn.

    Insane to see so many picking Hughie, hope the odds reflect that.

    Povetkin is the big favourite unfortunately.

    100 on Povetkin will pay 144 back.

    Could well be an awful fight but it's well matched. Povetkin is inactive and way past his best. Good chance for Hughie to take this on points. If Povetkin can work at a steady pace for 12 rounds though then I'll back him.

    PPV, do me a favour. Absolute disgrace, I am phoning watchdog now to see what Anne Robinson has to say.

    Intriguing match up. You can make good cases for both fighters.

    Decent as a main support. Far far better than the previously mooted Allen / Povetkin as was talked about a few weeks ago.

    I think I will wait until the weigh in before casting my vote as towards who wins.

    It’s on the PPV of Campbell v Loma as an undercard. I think it’s a great match up for an undercard. Fury has a decent defence on him but needs to let his hands go. It’s a tough one for me. I’m going to go with Povetkin split decision.

    I've been stabbing Hearn at every opportunity recently but this is a great chief support fight. No point saying otherwise.

    Loma/Campbell is obviously a mismatch but Lomachenko is one of the best to ever lace them up. If Cambell can survive beyond six it'll be great to watch Loma at work.

    If Eddie can add another solid fight, Chisora/Parker for example, it's his best PPV for quite some time. That last fight is a step too far probably but here's hoping.
