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

Povetkin by decision.

A 38 year old Kubrat Pulev outclassed Hughie Fury so I expect a 39 year old Povetkin to do the exact same thing.

I think Fury will do a good job of not getting knocked out and making it close enough where he keeps getting name fights.

3rd time stepping up. I wonder if he'll do anything for the 1st time in 24 rds?] I doubt it. Povetkin by UD. I wont call him trash though, hes just scared to punch. Hes average until he proves something!

Fury gets stopped

Povetkin will probably be the favourite but it’s definitely not a foregone conclusion. I think Hughie’s awkward style will create problems for him.

Agreed. Ill take Povetkin by UD or late stoppage

Im surprised there making this fight. Guessing Hearn got options on Povetkin after the AJ fight. Matchroom still got a lot of HW's regardless of what happens to Whyte, who fights on a fight by fight bases with them. Some how figured Parker would be best suited for that work, go figure.

Oh **** no he's getting KOd not decisioned.

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.

Price is a ultra hard puncher though. A big shot from him in the right place would stop anyone. Joshua punches hard too. First time Povetkin was ever stopped and it took some big shots to do it. No way will Fury trouble him.

Povetkin stopped Price inside 5 rounds.

Povetkin stopped Price inside 5 rounds.

Which has nothing to do with the fact that he took a knockdown in that fight because he's old and his chin is questionable. And then in his next fight he got KTFO.

He's almost 40 and they took away his steroids (presumably).

He looks vulnerable.
