Pulev - Fury

Come on Hughie! Let’s have some punches in bunches and some meat on the end of them please!

We don’t want another runaround

 

Hughie to win wide UD/Pulev to win by robbery. His style isn't fan friendly but he is all class. Yes it was only Sam Sexton but there was more offensive intent in that fight which says that he and his dad realise that he needs to throw a bit more to go with his fantastic movement as the pre Parker version would have cruised to a UD win in that fight.

 

Brilliant fight. Total respect to Hughie for taking the fight in Bulgaria. Win or lose (on cards) as i think he will get the better of Pulev in the fight, one thing for sure the fight will do alot to help Hughie become a better fighter in the long run. I think he can pull it off as he is an exceptional talent.

 

The amount of holding that's going to happen in this fight.

I reckon Pulev takes this on a points win. Yes Pulev has ponderous foot work whilst Hughies foot work and mobility is his strength. However if Hughie uses the same plan as he did against Parker by moving about flicking out his very weak jab hitting air, glove and barley touching Pulev when it actaully does land all whilst holding onto Pulev once they get in close - i reckon Hughie will become unstuck. Pulev has a good jab, I thought he beat Chisora comfortably.

 

In the UK this would be a Fury UD. I think Fury will do a Parker, but throw a bit more and put more into some of his punches. Which is what he's about. But away from home, will it be enough ?

 

I think Fury is going to make Pulev look old in this fight, to the point where some will discredit his win and say it was against an old, injury riddled, long past his best, Pulev. Much like those who said Lemieux would knock Saunders out but then afterwards said he was tailor made for him.

 

Pulev is past his sell by date, was once a top boxer lacked power. Fury UD

 

Pulev beat chisora better than anyone apart from fury and haye.

 

I'm happy to consider myself a casual when it comes to heavyweights because I like watching fights where both people have KO power. I've watched both Fury's too many times now and been left with a feeling that it just hasn't been entertaining, no matter how technically accomplished it might be. I hope Pulev wins unless Fury has decided that being a boxer involves actually channeling some "fury".

 

The referee had a huge influence on that fight.
