Tonights fights

The problem I have is Hughie is a VERY good heavyweight, his footwork and jab are excellent and his defence is second to none.
He may well beat AJ, he could well school him if he can take the punches and has a chin.
But could the British public get behind him with that style? Tyson Fury has the talk the brashness and has been in exciting fights, Mcdermott, Cunningham, (what's the Canadian fighter who knocked him down) and the first Chisora fight.

Hughie like some say is too relaxed for his own good, and when he's up against someone with more power - i.e someone along the lines of Mansour, Ustinov, etc he needs to show he's willing to push opponents back - if need be. Someone like Luis Ortiz would kill him at this stage. He just needs more bite and spite to show yes I'm a great boxer, but I can bang if need be too.

 

In fairness to Joshua he is explosive and is exciting to watch. He throws punches in combination and lets his hands go.

Whilst with Hughie Fury it's a case of pitter patter jabs and flailing arms but world class footwork, whilst not really being very competitive. It really is drab to watch him in action, you know the most excitement you'll see is when Tyson Fury comes in the ring at the end.
It's testament to him he's never really been caught with decent shots as his defence is world class, but his offence is bang average, it really is. So he's a conundrum, a world class defensive heavyweight that lacks the marketability of his cousin.
He'll outpoint a fair few opponents and may win a world title, but boy he won't be selling out arenas and earning PPV status, like Joshua/T Fury have.
