He is not gaining many overseas fans with his wins lately. He should walk right through Hughie.
I don't know about that. Hughie moves very well and has good control of distance plus I've never seen him hurt from a punch, seems to have a good chin. I'm fully predicting this goes 12
This will be a great fight.... Two fighters with good chins, and Parker will have to be the aggressor. Fury will jab him all night long so JP will need to work his body and head.
This will be a war!!
Yeah, it'll go 12. I know what you're saying though Kiwi. Two tough fights, Ruiz and Takam, and many thought he was fortunate to win. But he does what he's needed to do. I want the KO's too. But I'll be satisfied if he keeps winning.
That tweet suggests it could be WILDER. April in Vegas.
Man - I love that option!
Duco playing both sides against the middle.
I'm very sceptical of that wilder fight in April. It's cool to talk about but highly doubt it happens. Expensive to stage, not a money fight and going up against klit-AJ in the same month for TV. Plus wilder to fight a unification 6 weeks after a voluntary in which he could get injured?
Don't see it.
I think that it's good for Duco to hold it up to Hughie to show that there are other options, but I'd worry that Wilder would get a hand or bicep re-injury in his February fight against the Pole. Plus, Hughie is the right fight for Joe right now. Lower risk, and gives him an opportunity to work on his defense.
Personally I think hughie is happy to take the fight in NZ, and as you say die it's the fight to make. Posturing will get boring, April isn't far away, get a deal signed and let's do it.
Anyone keen for a forum members meet up if that fight happens btw? I'll definatley be going.
A lot of people under-estimating Hughie I think he's going to shock more then a few people...
