Good fight. Looking forward to this. I think the version of Hunter that fought Povetkin, Bakole and Kuzmin beats Hughie on points. The version of Hunter that fought Forrest that looked out of shape and lethargic loses on points to Hughie. Dubois fighting the winner also makes another good fight.
How can Huey Fury fight on Boxxer and Sky after Boxxers letter that was sent out a while back ? Wasn't he named on one of the sanctioned companies website/payroll. Don't get me wrong I want this fight to happen .
Very good fight. I have no doubt Hunter will come in very fit for this one. On paper Hunter should be favourite by imo Hughie beats him. People who buy a ticket for this also get to stay on in the arena to watch Hatton Barrera exhibition.
Clever by Boxxer even if I don't agree with it. Basically making Fury v Hunter chief support to Hatton knowing people going to the Hatton fight would go a hour or 2 before it starts so it'll fill the arena up for Fury/Hunter.
Spot on. I thought that myself. Hopefully Hughie puts on a show and gains some fans that are there to see Ricky.
Has the potential to be an absolute stinker but nonetheless still somewhat intrigued. Seeing as it's in UK...Hughie on points, I guess?
Interesting fight, one of those sorts of match ups we should see far more often than we do. Hughie on points for me. Hunter is not really a HW and every time I see him fight it underlines that. He has a style that relies entirely on being in superb shape and having excellent speed and being able to set a high tempo which I am not convinced he has currently. I also have a feeling (which is impossible to prove definitively) that Hunter at this stage has no genuine ambition left and has come to terms with being a B or C grade fighter and is therefore purely in the sport to try and earn what money he can over the next 2-3 years. Not going to be a classic but I just see Hughie using his range and ring craft to outbox him to a uneventful decision win.
Hughie points for me. Hunter is a good fighter but his last couple of fights haven't impressed me too much. People like to get on Hughie's back and sure, he hasn't been the most exciting but coming up as a young fighter he's took on some stern tests. He was unlucky not to get the nod against Joseph Parker and the bad cut ****ed things up for him in the Pulev fight. He's grown into his frame and I think it's now or never for him. We should start to see the best of him and I think he takes a decision.
I think Dubios would be a good fight for Hughie Fury. Joyce beat him through an excellent jab, so would Hughie imo.
It's not a fight that captures the interest of the large boxing audience. Hughie Fury is the tight favorite due to home advantage, but he can easily risk losing. I do not understand Boxxer / Sky Sports are making this fight. There must be an easier route for Hughie Fury.
I for one am glad Sky never found an easy route, as I want to see competitive match ups like this. WBA have affectively got two semi finals, with the winner of the final fighting for the world title. I think ever who wins the two fights out of H Fury, Hunter, Bryant and Dubios will fully deserve a full world title fight afterwards.
