    Big Cat Fury wins this by 20 metres.

    Can't wait to see Big Cat cut loose on the Bulgarian.

    Hughie is 23.

    If all he has to worry about is corrupt cards then he has to take the fight.

    His movement will be too much for a Pulev, who is a few years older than when even Chisora gave him the run around.

    Is this even official? Last i heard the purse bid was pushed back to August 16th. No way Fury goes through with this, even if it does get set, he gets a back or toe injury 2-3 weeks out.

    Interesting fight conceptually, considering their styles. Both just run and jab. Who will run and jab the best?

    Watching it will probably be pretty boring.

    Who knows. Maybe they'll both backpedal so fast that they back into each other and cause a double KO. I'd like that.

    I do hope Hughie doesn't win and get robbed.

    I don't care for Hughie, but Pulev is just so lazy and unambitious. I don't want to see some young guy's career damaged unfairly just so Pulev can continue to do ****all for another few years before finally retiring. Pulev is the last person who deserves any gifts.

    It's a good fight on paper, but we can expect a total snoozer in the ring. @MVC! would love it though, lots of defense, positioning and hardly any landed punches.

    I expect a close decision for Pulev in Bulgaria. If it had taken place in the UK a close one for Hughie, and on neutral ground about 50/50.

    Yes Snoozefest, but IMO the winner is quite close for a title shot here. Likely not an exciting but an important fight.

    Get ready Bulgaria - you're about to see a shades of Ali performance.
