Problem is, Fury lacks the ring intelligence to change things up, and continued with the same tactic since the second round. I think Pulev is EBU level, so Fury might not even be at that level.

Messy as fvck as well Pulev's punches landed weren't all that either but he was seen to be pressing, the ref was shite, the camera cutaways mid round were disgraceful, just a shite fight all round, Fury's tactics and timings were non existent, Joshua will smash Pulev to smithereens

PredatorHayds wrote: ↑29 Oct 2018, 08:36 The problem with Fury was that he was light on his feet, he used his height and reach well but never sat down on his punches.

He was the opposite in this. Looked heavy, used hardky zero movement and just kept winging in in-accurate lazy right hands.

What was the game plan?

It was the equivalent of having a reliable Ferrari but deciding to take it off-roading in the mud.

That's what tall fighters do that are too scared to throw the jab. They use it to judge the distance against a shorter opponent.

Seen it a million times but they never break the habit. Just go watch one of Audley Harrison's fights and you'll see another example of it.

This average was lower than the Sexton fight, which was a stoppage in half way through the fight. The Sexton fight also peaked 2.9m viewers.

Goes to show, really.

You cannot compare the 2.

One is on free tv, one you have to pay £20 for.

V Parker AJ had 1.4million buys at 20quid.

Comparing Hughie to that would be his YouTube fight which was a disaster.

How many would AJ get if on free TV? And by free I mean not sky, ppv or BT sport?

I'm thinking more around the 1 million mark.

the 1.4 figure is a weekly channel viewing of Sky Sports Box Office channel, so that figure would likely be the people that bought it and then anyone of them that tuned in to the replays.
