Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury: Povetkin is Dangerous, But I'm Confident of Winning

[famicommander]

Lol Fury camp having to admit the pedigree of one of Anthony Joshua's opponents now Hughie is fighting him.

I've got no idea who will win this. But my instinct says Fury on points.

If I was Povetkin I'd walk through his punches to get the KO. Fury doesn't punch that hard and Povetkin ha's a good chin

Povetkin got dropped against Price and stopped against Joshua in his two most recent fights. I'm not sure how good his chin is anymore.

Fury can't punch though, so I'm not sure how much it will factor in.

I predict Hughie will be backpedaling and slapping at Povetkin for most if not all of the fight. A few years ago Povetkin would have had the motor to run him down but at 40 I'm not thinking he does. Hughie wins a SD to a chorus of Boos.

Hard to call. Povetkin should be on higher level than Hughie, bit he is getting old and he didn`t fight since Joshua loss. Could be fun fight.

IMO this will be a barometer to see just where Povetkin is. The tail end, or just a step below elite? Fury just isn't that great, but it will be a good test for Alexander. I think he passes the test just fine and stops Fury.

Povetkin should still have enough in the tank to deal with Hughie

Every time he steps up he fights like a Jesse

Will there be testing?

No. Povetkin by KO.
Yes. Fury by SD.

Hughie by wide UD. A prime Povetkin would probably knock him out, but this shot version will get outboxed.

Povetkin by a brutal KO... ala Price...

Povetkin has stayed in shape since his last fight versus Fury who is fighting 3 times in 3 months? WOW.

Povetkin was boxing and possibly ahead of AJ until AJ connected.

Fury... is pillow hands.

Price was far more dangerous than Fury...

I think you nailed it. This is exactly how I see this fight shaking out.

Agree with most of you to this point. Got Povetkin. I think he is good enough to outpoint Little Fury if he needs to. My first thought is he will not need to.
