Hughie Fury vs. Alexander Povetkin - 31 August 2019

[TheLeprechaun]

Hughie showed he lacks heart. He fights not to lose rather than fighting to win. A few times when Povetkin was coming in Hughie could have set up counters and committed to it but he was too concerned with not being hit himself instead of trying to win the fight. Tyson Fury being rewarded for doing sweet f*ck all against Klitschko all night probably doomed Hughie because Hughie tried to nick wins with a dismal negative showing as Tyson did that night and it never worked out for Hughie.

He fights not to lose rather than fighting to win .

Well put , he almost knows he is out of his depth a bit in these big fights.

Hughie seems like a modern-day Joe Bugner to me.

Both turned pro young, both tall and skilful, and touted as prospects. Both show flashes of potential but ultimately fail to deliver.

No comparison between Bugner and Hughie. Bugner was a terrific fighter who gave some of the best all time a run. Hughie not near his league.

I thought the title would say Parker.. but they wanna rematch Povetkin.

He didn't learn from Parker or Pulev (i.e. throw some punches) so it's unlikely he'd learn from Povetkin defeat. Rematch is pointless

Fury needs to fight at a lower level. His best win is still Sexton. Bakole would be a winnable match.

Peter ‘Hughie will let his hands go next time’ Fury.
