Comments Thread For: Kubrat Pulev vs. Hughie Fury Set Down For October 27 in Sofia

[EnglishOxide]

The UK way of thinking. All of sudden UK fans only care about how much money a fighter makes instead of making fights. Miller vs Pulev would have made Miller the mandatory to AJs IBF if he won. Instead Hearn made Miller avoid the fight to fight some washed up fighter on DAZN, that Miller gets nothing out of it by winning. Lets be real, Hearn doesn't want any of his fighters that will launch DAZN to take on any top fighters. He wants to showcase them on their and build them up. It would be a disaster for Hearn if Miller, Vargas, Andrade and so on go on to lose in their first appearance on DAZN. Hearn wanted Andrade to take up tune up fights first like he's having Khan and Brook do before stepping up.

Get the **** out of here with that 'UK way of thinking' BS. I'm telling you how it is. Money talks. I don't care how much fighters make, why would I? But they do and that's why they take their decisions.

Hearn didn't make Miller do anything. Miller signed with him by his own free will knowing what he signed up for. He knows he just has to keep winning to get his title shot, Miller turned down the Pulev fight because it was a tough fight, for crap money. He can get more money with a tuneup and then a top 10 guy and then a champion fighting on home territory rather than going to Bulgaria and getting his face jabbed off. Hearn has given him the opportunity and paychecks to sharpen his tools and be ready in 12 months.

Maybe hold off with the compliments until he's in the ring.

This is the same hughie that faked an injury 2 weeks out from parker fight, to avoid travelling to nz.

I'm more concerned if he's going to play track star and run like a sprinter around the ring like he did against Parker.

This is going to be a sucky fight

Did not expect Hughie to go to Bulgaria for this, Pulev will control the fight with his jab and win a boring decision, whether he actually is the better man on the night or not

Why is it that the Furys are the only UK heavies with the balls to take on challenges.
Good job Hughie, just don't run for the whole fight.

Hughie has declined just as many fights as Wilder has dodged ?

Nobody asked your opinion AJhuggernut.

Baby Hughie goes to Bulgaria.

I'll believe it when i see it...

Give Hughie credit for going over there. His style isn't the most exciting but Hughie isn't a bad boxer. This will probably be a jab fest and, provide the judging is fair, it should be a close, tactical match. Fury is younger and has been more active recently but Pulev looks to have a little more snap on his punches.

Very good snap shot breakdown. The "active" part is what gives me pause. I certainly think Pulav should win this, but Fury has rounds in and with any kind of fast start could easily walk away with this.

Fury by boring UD.

Yep, should be. He can't expect to coast and survive and hope for a home town decision this time like he thought he was gonna get vs Parker.

[alexguiness]

Hughie is just awful to watch, he circles his opponent flicking out his jab - surprised he is able to stay upright with all the ring spinning he does.

Technically he is a decent boxer, but he has no personality, charisma or box office appeal at all IMO.
