    I personally will be making a Hughie decision. I think he’s a very good boxer and he’s younger, fresher and more active of the two. Pulev has a great jab but he can be a bit stiff and robotic, he’s aged and he’s been out the ring for a long time now so I just think Hughie is going to dance rings round him. Hopefully he throws a bit more than in the Parker fight and he should cruise to a UD.

    Entirely agree, I think Pulev's inactivity will absolutely shaft him here. So long as Fury doesn't get complacent he should grind a result out

    Hughie is knocking his ass out. Look at who Pulev has been fighting... Samuel Peter, Kevin Johnson... It's been over two years since he outboxed Chisora. So he's now going to come into the ring and take out a 24-year old man who is arguably the best mover in the division? DO ME A FAVOUR.

    I keep referring back to that Sexton KO. Ignore the fact that it's Sexton, just look at the technique, accuracy and power:

    Hughie and Peter will have learned their lesson. They have already received a brutal lesson on what they need to do in the ring. No more fannying around trying to sneak a win on jabs landed. They are in Bulgaria and absolutely need the KO and Hughie will deliver.

    Pulev UD

    Hughie doesn’t do enough, fights on the back foot. Puts in a better performance than against Parker but still comes up short again at world level.

    Definitely Fury win for me. Pulev may have a good jab, but his feet are stuck in the mud, he's old now, and hasn't fought the best opposition of late. i wouldn't be too surprised if he gets the stoppage tbh.

    Gone for a UD but think it's about as likely as a TKO.

    Last time I was sure of a KO, Porter nudged by Garcia so I won't be so bold here. Fury W all over this one though.

    Er sensibly Pulev by robbery decision looks pretty likely as both have dull styles and the fight might not catch fire, so I can see hughie out working him but getting stiffed.

    But I've got a feeling this is gonna be one of those "lol wtf" fights so I voted hughie by ko

    Given the styles etc, I have gone for a Draw. Hughie, at this stage, is probably the better boxer but he is fighting away though against a wily old campaigner...

    Hughie points win. I had him two up against Parker. He'll have learned he needs to do a bit more to guarantee a win. A great lesson at a young age. Wouldn't be surprised if Hughie stopped him late though. I know WK hits like a truck but Pulev looked so vulnerable in that fight.

    i thought the robbery, as Pulev is in Bulgaria, but then i remembered Chisora somehow got a SD there when he didn't come close to winning, so maybe the judging isn't as bad there

    I am going for a Hughie Fury win. The method of victory has me split as I think he will put it on Pulev late in the fight. I will say points win or a stoppage victory for Fury between 10-12. I just hope he doesn't get shafted on the cards. In achievements I actually think beating Pulev in Bulgaria would be on par with AJ beating Klitschko at home with 90000 fans roaring him on.
