Too much at stake for Hughie. What he didn't have was power, but according to reports, he has that now. Or had it.
Fair comments die. No disrespect to Jo, except he falls short at top level. I sincerely considered Hughie had the goods to beat him. Now we may never know unless the WBO deem the fight is still valid. IF it happens that the WBO reinstate it then we will know that they weren't faking for some other reason. I would expect a ruling on that in next week or so.
Except he hasn't fallen short at top level. He hasn't fought them yet. Neither has AJ, Wilder, Ortiz. I'm hoping this year will separate the wheat from the chaff.

Mippy if it was ordered again, would that be fair statement the injury is legit in your eyes?

Die, I'm thinking of the Ruiz fight which looked to many like a dodgy decision

I think the injury is irrelevant. It's pretty much impossible to prove a lower back strain one way or the other. So it'll come down to politics. The same way Hughie got the mandatory in the first place.

So you consider Warren and the WBO as dodgy thethen mippy?
Thinking about Markks revelations a few days ago of nil promotion so to speak for this fight, negligeable advert on all media and the premise that is so prevalent to preserving revenue, would it all be at all possible that duco parker Warren and WBO knew there would be no fight and effected Fury as the scapegoat in the promise of being reinstated as the title challenger when those involved have shifted their focus away from nz. Have we ever considered the unprofitability to duco of holding the fight in nz. There is some talk of Higgins and Lonergan having major disagreements.
Also, as predicted parkers replacement fighter is no less than nbr 15 on the list, yes, the Romanian.

All idle thinking but no presumption. But hey. .....
I'm just disappointed that the Kiwi fans didn't get to see their man finish up with a good win over a leading contender before heading offshore.
