Kubrat Pulev vs. Hughie Fury - 27 October 2018

But do all the banned substances offer some kind of performance enhancer though ? i don't know,just asking the question

No, not all of them, but aside from marijuana, the most common drug test failures are for chemicals that will improve your performance.

This is interesting regarding Saunders.

Not really. Victor has a massive agenda against Billy.

You're biased towards travellers. Both the Fury's and Saunders have failed tests for PEDs and yet you defend them. If it was a boxer you didn't like, I don't think you would be as forgiving.

ALL questions will be answered on Channel 5, around 10ish.

Not all the questions surely?

Surely questions such as

‘Why do good things happen to bad people?’

Won’t be on the agenda.

All questions about these two? And the fight?

In regards to the question you asked. I don’t know.

Because I like Tyson? I’m not even a huge fan of the other two. You’re clearly biased towards black boxers in that case looking at some of your posts.

What a load of bollocks. I don't favor anyone when it comes to PED cheats. Saunders cheated, so did Fury. IN the same way that James Toney cheated all those years ago.

Doesn’t victor work with andrade in some way? so he is a bit biased toward bill to be fair

[Ruthless-RKO]

With the prospect of facing Joshua in a massive fight at Wembley next year, Fury said in a press release, “Those are the kind of fights I want and that fight in particular.

“I’m not looking past Pulev but whenever that Joshua fight is available, I’d take it with both hands. It’s a case of beating Pulev, getting that out the way and then we’ll talk business after that.

“Titles mean a lot more to me than money. I’ve never really been interested in money. I’m focused on one thing and that’s becoming a world champion.

“I feel stronger in myself and I’ve got more hunger, drive and motivation to get the job done. I’ve had disappointments in the past but they helped make me the person I am today.

“I’m looking forward to these fights, taking things one step at a time and following my dreams.”

In the press conference this week, Fury said, ”Thank you to the people of Bulgaria for welcoming me. I’ve had a great reception – it’s a pleasure to be here again. It’s a country that I’ve been coming to since I was a teenager and I hope to come again soon.

“I can’t wait for the fight on Saturday. Camp’s been tough but all the hard work’s done now, now’s the easy bit. – the fight. It’s not long now, it’s only three days away. I’ve come over here to win. I’m prepared for whatever he [Pulev] throws at me, and if I have to go the distance to do that so be it. Believe me when I say it’s going to be one hell of a fight.

“I watched him [Pulev] in action at yesterday’s open workout and I don’t see anything to be worried about. I’ve done my preparation and I’ve got Plans A through to Z ready for whatever he comes at me with.”

Pulev said, “This is the first time such a high profile fight has been held in Bulgaria. It’s never happened before. My opponent is very strong and It’s a very serious fight at world level.

“Camp has gone well and I’m well prepared. I’m in a concentrated place. I believe my years of experience has led me to this day where I have the maturity to manage fights to the end. I work very hard and this is what I’ve been doing the last three months with my coach and team. I have developed my strength this past year, not just physically but also mentally. I’m in the best shape I can.

“The arena will be full on Saturday night. I have to win to make the home ground proud. They are incredibly supportive of me.”

With the fight taking place in Bulgaria, Pulev will be the favourite, Fury may have to try and KO the Bulgarian to have a chance of winning, if it goes to a decision, expect a Pulev win.

The fight will be shown on Channel 5 in the UK and ESPN+ in the USA.

It's going to a stinker anyway mate. Shades of Johnny Nelson.

I honestly thought this would be called off, although still time I guess

[keithmoonhangover]

Pulev is his lightest in 9 years. Fury is his heaviest is 4. Interesting.

Pulev points looks nailed on to me. Unless Pulev ages overnight.

Why ?

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Hughie stops him.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Both similar in size. Fury might have put on weight on purpose.

[TheGoods]

I think Fury is a sweet bet at odds against. Pulev didn’t look great against Chisora in 2016 and boxed just once since - a glorified spar with Kevin Johnson. That’s dangerously inactive when your a 37 year old heavyweight. Fury has the size and skills to do a solid job on him.

Some boxers get ripped as they get older.
