Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury: This is Just The Start, A lot More To Come From Me!

I watched the Hughie fight. No way.

Hughie Fury full time "Job" is to fight.

Hughie is not even in shape. He shows me NO seriousness of his profession at all. All talk, no action. A total "pipe dream".

I wonder if Hughie realizes that someone like Anthony Joshua is in MUCH BETTER SHAPE than Hughie is?
That's what it takes.

Dude I think thats pretty harsh on Parker. Your normally a solid poster but Hughie level really???

He is Parker level guy. I can see him winning a free belt in the future.

Slow your roll, Hughie.

This HW era is complete trash, but you still won't ever be a champ.

The majority of pundits thought Hughie beat Parker. I had Hughie winning 7-5.

A majority of pundits with the last name Fury

Look I think Hughie does have some improvement in him given men don't reach peak psychical strength until their early 30's. If I was Peter I'd focus on Agit and get that European strap.

When/if Hughie becomes a champ, the HW div will be officially fu cked.

Parker already beat him and then team Fury couldn't accept defeat and claimed Hughie was robbed. He lost the fight fair and square.

Yes, I know he's already list to Parker. My comment was made in the context of this "new, improved" Hughie and I think Parker STILL beats him. Apologies for my lack of clarity. Thanks.

I don`t see why not. Hughie is something like John Ruiz.

If Ruiz was able to take the belt , after Lennox threw it away, Hughie can also pick some free belt after his cousin retires with all the belts.

I don`t see why not.

Better scrap than I thought it would be

It wasn't a bad scrap at all. Lots of punches thrown, some controversy with the clash of heads & a ref who did an outstanding job in my opinion. Fury really stepped it up once he realized he had a bad cut. He had the bad gash against Fred Kassi & the public called him a quitter looking for a way out. Then he suffered that bad cut against Pulev in the final eliminator which hindered his performance. He really stepped it up this time as he probably thought "not this again" & he didn't let it bother him. He actually fought much more aggressively & didn't allow Wach to get off first after that. It was a pretty close fight up until the cut. His cutman did an outstanding job as it was a pretty nasty cut. I was actually impressed with the ref as he was allowing them to fight in a phonebooth throughout the fight. He let them fight out of it & it helped the flow of the fight. Wach is a really good gatekeeper & should continue to get fights for as long as he wants to stay active. He is 40 but he is big & durable, he throws a lot of punches (not much power)& has that granite chin. He has no trouble going 10 rounds even though he doesn't always look in great shape. He is not a big threat to any top 25 guy but he can certainly give them tough rounds with that odd chance of scoring an upset. No question this was Hughie's best win. I had really low expectations for this fight but was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't help but notice that Fury was 247lbs & looked pretty decent. Not too big or not to fleshy. He has a lot of experience for a HW that is only 26. He has been around for a long time & the funny thing is he was a boy fighting men for a lot of years. Now he is a man & I am interested to see how he does moving forward. He already called out Pulev & Povetkin for rematches which I doubt will happen but props to him. He finally has a decent scalp under the win column. Sure Wach is 40 & about a C+ gatekeeper at this point but still a good win in my opinion.
