A Rational Analysis of Hughie Fury's Performance against Pulev

Northadox · Oct 31, 2018

Welcome back, good post..

Fury has a big future regardless. I think he just needs to stop jumping so much levels in class.
British level then Parker. British level then Pulev.
But he’s a fighter.. gonna take the chance to win a world title any day

I want him to take a step back and work his way up. Go for a title again in a year or so but box your way up and challenge yourself more each time

Whilst I think on his day he could win one, I feel maybe the big jumps in level don’t help. But I’m not a boxer so who knows.

That's where you're wrong . I've watched the fight 3 times and will view some more because it reveals a lot.

The third time convinced me that Joshua would be no match for Hughie who would put on a master class and that was evident the first time , I just had to make sure !

Hughes the uncrowded champion and everyone knows it not the bum Joshua who Hughie knocks out effortlessly !

Is this a joke? Serious question.

Well, the worst tactics ever basically. Totally lost the plot.
Really disappointed with Hughie and Peter.
Circle left, jab to body, 1-2 straight right. That would have won at least 10 rounds against the basic stuff Pulev was offering.

The fact these two were playing the tough man for 12 utterly ineffective rounds is a shocking indictment.

Pi55 poor from team Fury, literally threw the W away.

Looked flabby and out of sorts too.

Went from shades of Ali to a poor man's Wilder impression.

I'll start off by admitting that I got my prediction well wrong. I thought Hughie was all wrong for Pulev but the Bulgarian, PEDs or no PEDs, boxed a good fight.

Firstly I think Hughie is a credit to the sport. 24-years old and he went out to Bulgaria and took his defeat in a dignified manner. Peter Fury revealed after the fight that Hughie's cut (caused by Bakole in sparring) was not even close to healing by the time of the fight. They asked for a postponement but Pulev's team warned them that they will force a replacement opponent if Fury backed out of the fight so true to the Warrior's Code, they took the fight anyway with Hughie already wounded. Big Peter and Hughie make no excuses. They are true fighting men.

I thought Hughie boxed the wrong fight but what do you expect when he was vilified for his approach against Parker. He was scored very harshly by judges. He could have done the exact same thing against Pulev and floated around the ring but he had zero chance of getting a decision in Bulgaria so there's no surprise from me that he was looking for the one punch KO. The wrong approach in hindsight but then the very bad cut early on just made it worse. He had no choice but to look for the KO but approached it all wrong. A lesson learned.

He'll come again. We've seen that he holds a shot really well. 24 rounds against Parker and Pulev and he didn't look close to being hurt and he hurt Pulev badly in the eighth round.

If I was managing Hughie I would chase a fight against Dave Allen. A really easy win and a fight that would give him exposure on a PPV undercard on Sky. Then mount a challenge again for a mandatory shot because no champion will go near him for a voluntary.

It was a bitterly disappointing night on Saturday but Big Peter and Hughie did Britain proud. No arguments, took the fight wounded and conducted himself well throughout. There's no harm in losing to Pulev and Parker, both are good lessons learned. He wasn't hurt in either fight so no damage has been done. At 24 this experience will be invaluable. He needs to work on his jab, his timing and his handspeed.

I just don't think Hughie has as much physical talent as Tyson.

Then again he is facing better opposition that Tyson did at his age and seems to be more mentally together
