Re: Anyone giving Hughie Fury a chance against Alexander Povetkin?

 

--- Huey a pretty fair boxer obviously been throwing in with the big boys of late could pull it off. POV 40 now and took massive shots in his last two. He can't do that much longer without repercussions , like maybe this fight.

hughie lacks the offense to really make a statement, but he can fight a pretty negative fight and win on points. He is taller and has more reach than Povetkin.

Although Povetkin has a lot of experience fighting taller guys, hughie has probably the quickest hands that he has faced and decent enough footspeed to move away from povetkins leaping attacks.

Hughie also dreads inside fighting, so he will do his best to tie up povetkin whenever he gets close, just take the blueprint from klitschko.

 

Factor in that Povetkin is about to turn 40, had a close to one year layoff and is coming off a knockout loss to joshua and there is a big possibility of an upset.

Povetkin also took some damage against price and gassed against joshua after starting off well. stamina is one of the first thing that you lose when you get older (besides speed).

Povetkin needs a lot of stamina to chase down hughie and close the distance and I dont think that he can fight hard for 12 rounds anymore.
