By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Hughie Fury (5-0, 4 KO’s) stayed in the unbeaten ranks with a 1st round TKO victory over 38-year-old Ladislav Kovarik (10-15, 5 KO’s) last Saturday night at the Glow, Bluewater, Greenhithe, Kent, UK. Fury, 18, knocked the heavyset Kovarik down twice in the 1st round before the fight was stopped at 1:37 of the round by referee Mark Green following a second knockdown.
The first knockdown came from a chopping right hand to the head of Korvarik. Fury had gone right hand crazy and was nailing Kovarik with one right hand after another without using his left at all and finally Kovarik collapsed on the canvas after Hughie caught him with a chopping right hand to the head. After Kovarik got up, Hughie continued to unload almost nothing but right hands until he dropped him with a sweeping left hand that didn’t have much power on it.
