Although it may well turn into a stinker, I am actually quite looking forward to the fight.

Pulev is the more proven but has hit his ceiling, Hughie still doesn't know what his ceiling is.

The battle of the jabs will be key in the early stages but down the stretch I thunk Fury will try to put it on the older man and how Pulev reacta will determine the victor.

Any idea what time ringwalk is?

I imagine Bulgaria is 1 or 2 hours ahead.

Yeh. Hope the scores are fair. I’d prefer is Hughie somehow stops him. Whether it’s a KO, ref stoppage, cuts etc. Anything.

Naandrew wrote: ↑10 Aug 2018, 10:33 Firstly I won't think this fight is happening until Hughie lands in Bulgaria for the fight.

IF it happens then I am slightly interested. I say slightly because it could be an awful fight with a lot of posturing with Hughie circling the ring not landing.

It's simple if Hughie wants to win this fight then he should do the exact opposite of what he did against Joseph Parker. This is where I think he will come unstuck again. After the Parker fight it wasn't " I could have done better, should have done things differently" it was " I won the fight I'm uncrowned champion". This suggests not much will change his style against a decent operator.

I only watched the last minute of the Sexton fight, but I saw him throwing right hands with speed and intention to do damage. He did not do this once against Parker.

IF the fight happens and if Hughie gets the win then it means he will have earned a world title fight properly unlike last time.

The Sexton fight to me, showed Hughie learned from his fight with Parker. He threw more right hands, and when one connected flush, he went for the finish. He could have so easilly beaten Parker by landing two more right hands per round, it was that close. I'm glad he lost, because it was a good learning experience, and I think it will - and has - made him a better fighter.

I still fancy a faded Pulev to win. Never really got the hype around Hughie

Definitely has a few things working in his favour (size & youth), but it’s lack of quality wins that worry me.

Suppose these unknowns are what make it an interesting fight!

How come every time a White man gotta talk about boxing, they gotta go Rocky Marciano, Rocky Marciano.

That’s their one.

Marciano did beat Joe Louis though. Even though he was a 137 years old at the time .

Who told you that? Frank Sinatra?
