By Scott Gilfoid: In what could be the worst outing of his career, heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (14-0, 8 KO’s) had to struggle to defeat Danny Hughes (12-3-2, 3 KO’s) by an 8 round points decision on Saturday night at the Ponds Forge Arena, in Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The referee scored it 79-74. After the fight the 19-year-old Hughie said “He was awkward.”
Surprisingly, Hughes was the bigger puncher of the two, which you think would be hard to believe considering that he came into the fight with just a measly 3 knockouts on his resume. It was pretty clear after the 1st round that Hughes had more power than Fury. As the fight progressed, Hughes was able to catch Fury with an occasional big shot while he was on his way in.
