Hughie couldn't win clearly if he had some Clearasil.

I thought he boxed relatively well defensively against Parker, but his offence was non existent. He looked more aggressive last time out, but really needs to build on that against Pulev who is a big step up.

That he expected to get the decision against Parker says a lot about Hughie’s style.

This should be interesting. I can’t see Hughie winning with anything less than a masterclass

so true

Made my day with that line

I can see a Hughie Fury stoppage victory here. It's cool to hate on Hughie, but he'll surprise a lot of people in this fight. If he comes through this and forces the mandatory, he could be the one to expose Anthony Joshua once and for all.

I don’t mind hughie but he doesn’t throw enough punches for me

He seems to admire his own work and take rounds off

Pulev will be on him all night for sure ... can’t see any other outcome other than a pulev ud

Pulev is about 50, hasn't fought in 16 months and is coming off several pretty serious injuries. In the last 2 years he put on an exhibition with Kevin Johnson and had Sam Peter retiring after 3 rounds without breaking a sweat. What do you base your assessment of Pulev on? His best win is a questionable decision over an out-of-shape Dereck Chisora.

Hughie is a stinker, this fight can't be good.
