Hughie Fury-Nagy Aguilera - March 26 (Eubank jr undercard)

[p4pking]

I've only seen bits of Hughie, but I don't see why he should be expected to jump right in with proven fighters despite what he may be saying. He's five years younger than Joshua, to put it one way. His cousin Tyson wouldn't have beaten any top ten HW at his age either, very few HW's are ready yet. This Aguilera guy looks durable on paper at least, been the distance with some good fighters and only stopped twice by big punchers, which Hughie doesn't look to be at all. I'm sure it will be a cakewalk, but the point is getting rounds in with guys who are remotely dangerous is still valuable experience for a young HW.

Hughie is still developing and far from world class. Glad he is on free TV. Good show.

Yep, good fight for considering so called world class fighters turned it down and left them n the lurch.

If they (Really) want the fights, maybe Fat Mick might have to stump up a bit more cash.
Like Carl Froch said Saturday, sometimes you have to take a gamble.

I'm disappointed. The way Peter Fury was talking about a "top 10", I was expecting at least a decent top 25 HW opponent.

Aguilera is just an obese human punching bag. He's lost 6 of his past 10 fights.

They had top ten ranked fighters agree to fights only to up their financial demands on receiving contracts.

Thats why Calzaghe didnt fight Hopkins in 2003. Hopkins agreed and then asked for 3 times more than the agreed purse.

So much for Parker or a top ten opponent....

Parker's looking at Takam so there was no chance of it being him. But this is just a water treading fight for Hughie. He should get some rounds in against an experience journeyman.

Hey Ross, any names of the guys that did this?
