Comments Thread For: Peter Fury: I'm Not Expecting Hughie To Stop Rudenko

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LONDON - Though he sees the improvements in his son on a daily basis, coach Peter Fury is well aware of the significance of the test that awaits Hughie Lewis Fury on February 21 in Monte Carlo.

The 20-year-old heavyweight tackles Ukrainian puncher Andriy Rudenko over ten rounds - a fight televised by Channel 5 - and Peter is backing his son to rise to the occasion and steal the show.

“Rudenko is a good test for him,” he said. “By no means is this an easy fight. If Hughie had a bit of a weak chin or some major flaws, Rudenko wouldn't be the kid we'd pick for this fight. We'd steer clear of him completely.

“You've got to be wary of Rudenko because he's quite good at cutting the ring off. You're not going to just keep him at bay with your jab. He'll walk through your shots to land his own. He's very, very tough and durable.

Good step up for Hughie Fury and very risky after Hughies performance against Danny Hughes and Rudenko nearly beating Lucas Browne but there's no way his trainer and Father would put him in unless they really thought he was ready.

Great fight night on the 21st Feb and on Channel 5 free in the UK

"Hughie Lewis" Hahaha, great typo!

On a serious note, Peter Fury seems like a classy guy.

[SN!PER]

The best scenario I can imagine is that Hughie overwhelms Rudenko with a high volume of punches and wins on points.

The reality is that Hughie is in danger of getting outclassed here. But if he has trained hard enough, he should get through this fight.

Hughie's middle name is Lewis --- so not as much of a typo as it would be if he didn't have that as a middle name.-- and yes Peter does seem to be a classy guy.
