I REALLY want to like Hughie, he's talented, great speed and shot variety...but god damn is he ever a nightmare to watch. Far too much movement, not enough power, and what appears to be a relative lack of commitment on his shots.

I understand he's fighting a pretty tough guy here...but he's far too passive and and giving ground too much.

He's a poorer version of Tyson really. This guy hes in with is averaging about 4 punches per round.

Hughies chest and back looks like 2 sheets of bubble wrap.

His bird must have a ball with all them zits.

Should have been getting this guy out of there by standing his ground and working the body.
He's a good body puncher from what I have seen in the past

Well, I'll add him to our celebrity fan wing. We've got Adrian Chiles and Frank Skinner also.

I saw Adrian Chiles sat amongst us plebs at Craven Cottage one time.

He has a metabolic disorder that causes those blisters. Since the cause was determined he should be able to manage it with a proper diet. So spots should disappear.

I haven't seen either Blackwell or Jones before, but I am enjoying another night of free to air boxing.

My opinion on Hughie Fury is that he can surpass Tyson, I think he's a better boxer even he lacks a bit of power at the moment...

I like Blackwell, good hardworking pro. Taken his knockbacks and come back well.
Think he looks too strong for Jones tonight.

Jones working so hard to stay safe, Blackwell hard breaking a sweat. 2-1 Jones at the moment.

Ohh we got a fight here, Jones trying to give it back, lands a few , needs to move bit more left and right not go straight back.

I like the Blackwell story, no amateur experience and a white collar background but becomes British champion. Jones should be using his advantages better than he is, can't keep Blackwell off...

Jones looking good. Don't think he's lost a round yet.

Jones looked class in round 4, Blackwell started the round well then fought like a tool for 2 minutes...

I am more sober than I usually am at this stage in the boxing.

A few fights this year, I wake up with no memory at all of the fight.

Blackwell is fighting like an idiot just trying to walk the guy down. He wont get away with that at a higher level
