Hughie - Matt Skelton or Michael Sprott

Sprott lost 6 of his last 7 and Skelton is a washed-up 46 year old man who won't give up the ghost.

Excuse me if I don't get overly excited.

 

hopefully sprott, at least he will last the distance. i think skelton is done.

 

Not sure if young Hugie can learn much from these fights but its rounds in the bank which he needs at this stage

 

I don't think it even falls under the category of "pretty good".

 

Sprott might be a bit of a risk at this stage for Hughie. I'd keep him busy for the rest of year and fight a Skelton/Rogan in early 2014.

 

Why does he call himself Huggie?
His name is Hughie Lewis Fury, while his nephew's name is Luke Tyson Fury.

If Luke calls himself "Tyson Fury", shouldn't Huggie call himself "Lewis Fury"? :bart


On topic. That's a really good step up for him.

 

Good fight, how did he get on on sunday? I heard it went the distance?

 

won a 6 rounder vs Dorian Darch. won 5 rounds clearly 1 round could of gone either way. Was hurting darch with body shots throughout the fight but couldn't stop him.

I'll try and find the video.

Video quality is quite poor.

 

was this guy durable has he been stopped alot?

 

he's upto Wilder's level of competition already at a year of being a pro and 19 years old.

 

Prior to Fury he had won 7 and lost 1 to ian lewison who stopped him in December last year
