    Pulev's chin must be completely gone if he got hurt by Fury.

    Just caught the slow-mo highlights of the eighth, seems each took a turn hurting the other with a big flush 1-2.

    The problem with Hughie is he is a one trick pony. His style confuses most fighters which then frustrates them and helps him cruise to a decision win.

    The problem that occurs is when he faces a really experienced fighter like Pulev who can adjust. Fury has no explosiveness, no KO power, no pack to his punches. He needs to start lighting Pulev up for closing the gap. Pulev isn't scared of his power and is taking advantage.

    What did Tyson Fury do against Cunningham who solved his style? He turned it into a dogfight. He started throwing huge shots and won by KO. Hughie could never do that, he has never trained to be an offensive fighter. It's similar to being one footed in soccer. You'll score a lot of goals, but you'll ultimately always be worse than a striker with 2 good feet.

    With Hughie, I think it's more a case of won't, as opposed to can't.

    How people on here can say Hughes beats AJ with a straight face is beyond me.

    Commentator's unofficial scorecard has it 77-75 Fury (I think - graphic flashed only briefly, might have been Pulev...sure about the score, just not for whom)

    Beauty of a move from Pulev, step out of range when Hughie threw made him miss and stepped back in with a thumping jab

    When I look at Fury's physique, how can a professional boxer have zero, i mean ZERO shoulder muscles? How is that even physically possible?

    FFS Pulev is doing so much clinching he should have been DQed by now.

    I'm looking at this fight and Jarrell Miller definitely could've gotten the KO. Pulev doesn't look strong, buckling over Hughie's featherfists.
