Haven't seen Hughie's latest fight yet, but the last few times I've seen him, he didn't seem to be going for the ko's like he was in his earlier fights.
Maybe he's been told to settle down and box, get some rounds under his belt, or maybe he's getting a little stale from fighting too often.
He's a great prospect, but I'm getting a little worried about how low he carries his left hand. He's been caught a couple times coming in like that. He seems to have a good chin, so it hasn't been a problem so far, but against better opponents, it could be.
He isn't going to beat Mike Tyson's record. He only has a little over a year in which to do it, and even he was ready, the chances of him getting a world title shot within that time frame are zero, imo.

Hughie isnt getting the ko's because he's been told to get the rounds in by sticking to a plan.

Once he starts stepping up you'll see the ko's coming back

I wouldn't read too much into the lack of a KO. He has been told to stay behind the jab and pick his shots, getting the rounds in at the same time.

Both Sprott and Skelton have been offered a fight, but they both want far too much money.

Wow I know that when a fighter gets stopped they can't fight for a certain period of time and that is tough for journeymen but I had no idea that deals like that go on.

They sure do. These journeymen have a tough time and they are so valuable to a lot of fighters, but they aren't getting fights and they get much less if they have KOs on their record.

That's first time I've ever heard of that clause. "Will you fight?" "Yes sir, but only if you're not allowed to knock me out." What you are suggesting is classified as match fixing so I'm calling bull***** here.

I can find you a link where the Fury camps explains it. It's pretty normal for some journeymen to have a thing like that sorted out before the fight.

Pulse

Do any of these fighters he's beating have a pulse?.
