The_budweiser Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? Reports are saying Hughie Fury vs Anthony Joshua are underway to fight on November 26th in Manchester. I haven't been impressed by Fury at all. And how can he go from putting on a subpar performance against Fred Kassi in April which they blamed on acne conglobata to being ready 5 months later to fight Joshua in his next fight - Money does miracles :mlol: This fight doesn't interest me at all. I hope it doesn't happen and Hearn can find a more worthy opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? This only makes sense if they are going to set up a trilogy, by having AJ take a dive. I don't see it happening, but it's possible. Much like Wlad - Tyson. It goes like this: AJ loses, via a nice comfortable decision. ("oooh, controversial!" ) Everybody is shocked, but also bored to death. The bookies make millions. Everyone in on the fix makes millions. Huey becomes a household name. They set up a second fight, which of course pulls in MASSIVE revenue, and they let AJ swing away this time. He of course KO's Huey, setting up the third fight. The third fight makes more money than Adrien Broner can even count. AJ wins, of course. Most likely by a fan-friendly KO. (Or a RTD. Huey don't wanna' hurt his leetle head, after all.) 1 year later, everybody is rich. Huey has gained world-wide fame, and so gets several more high-paying bouts before eventually fading into the sunset. AJ is now also more famous than ever, having fought 3X against yet another opponent who couldn't possibly hurt him. He's gotten one more year of training & experience under his belt, and still has not had to face Wilder, Ortiz, or the man from down unda'. There is no downside. -------------------------------------------- Of course, this is just a fantasy scenario. Boxing is 100% legit !

Bear Hugger Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? Heard about this today at work. The only thing we were all betting on was which round Fury gets KO'd in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selij Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? From all the evidence it DOES appear that this "fight" has actually been discussed by both sides. Just goes to show what a farce British boxing has become.

repsac Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? Hmm did not know that. Not sure I'd be interested in seeing either of them against Wilder at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittbox Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? Terrible mismatch. Hughie needs to face some hard hitting journeyman/gatekeeper first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeboxing Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? H. Fury could give Joshua some rounds. Maybe to early for him to challenge Joshua but I think the fight goes into the later rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_ Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Re: Does anyone else think this is a mismatch? If this fight happens anyone who pays to go and see it live should be lined up against a wall and shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
