    Round 1 Hughes 10-9 Close

    Both men had their moments, Nurse landed some solid rights and worked his jab well, but Hughes nicked it with his consistent left hooks to the body and head of Nurse.

    This Hughes fights practically one handed, although they mentioned he has one arm longer than the other. He needs to let both hands go more frequently, far too obvious where his attacks are coming from

    Both of these guys are feather light on their feet, and neither is willing to really engage. Dreary fight.

    Nurse is just so frustrating, he should be winning easily but he's really punching air most of the time and like he's trying to cake walk this fight and Hughes is fighting well, and could nick a decision.
    Nurse needs to actually start imposing himself, I can see why Hearn didn't want to keep Nurse, he fights within himself most of the time..
    He's far more talented than he's showing in this fight, but he just doesn't want to give 100 % every fight.

    Nurse always chooses to fight in close, why can't he use his feet and his jab! He's not a puncher so why bother staying inside against a shorter fighter whose only chance is banging to the body and ripping in uppercuts. He can only blame himself if he loses.
    Catteral would DESTROY Nurse.

    I wonder if some fighters talent gets buried underneath their complete lack of power.
