Anthony Yigit v Joe Hughes Channel 5 2nd December 2017

[Master]

The main event has started. So Hughes has a short right arm?

Josh Taylor is watching.

Commentators bias for Hughes but I give it to Yiget.

[Master]

Hughes does well in the 2nd with good left hooks landing.

[Master]

3rd round close, Yiget landed better shots 2-1 to him

[Master]

Very little to choose from another close round. Hughes won 4th with hurtful left hooks.

[Master]

Yiget wins 5th round with dominate display of fast hands, skill and bodywork

[Master]

Yiget moving and wins round easier than he has done previously

4-2 Yiget

[Alpha]

Yigit starting to take over.

[Master]

Hughes closes distance and wins round for me

Just a bit more on this, the dude suffers from some kind of Erbs Palsy, his right arm is 3 inches shorter than the left.
There is more to it than just having a shorter arm, he can't turn his fist to throw an uppercut, he can't lift his arm to throw a hook, he can throw a straight but doesn't get any power on it at all, the Erbs Palsy also stops (or reduces) muscle growth so his left arm isn't only longer but its visibly bigger as well.

I only watched the first few rounds and whilst Hughes deserves massive props for getting himself into a European title fight it struggled to hold my attention, he has to fight exclusively with the left hand.

If it wasn't for the interest factor of his weird right arm anyone would have just looked at it and thought he isn't very good, it might be harsh but from what I saw the fight wasn't very good.

Again though fair play to the dude.

[Master]

Hughes did well at the start but because of what you described has to fight non-stop for 12 rounds against the top opposition to win. He gave a good account of himself and did well not to get stopped at the end of the fight.

Yes its remarkable. Joe Hughes did well against Catteral and unlucky not to get nod over Nurse. With his disability this is an unbelievable achievement. How good could he have been if fighting on a level playing field?

8th round was classic, Master nailed it
