LondonRingRules Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asgarth Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yeah, I got him favourite if he runs like he did against Parker. Any other tactics and he's getting flattened. I fully expect him to run, hold and pitter patter. Not looking forward to it either. When they fighting again? Is it on Loma card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layton Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Not really, think Povetkin is a level above Hughie, Hughie will probably make it one of the most boring fights ever though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 PEDetkin is a spent force but he will still have too much for Shughie - unless he's been paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
