By Scott Gilfoid: The boxing world is going to find out what the tall 6’6” heavyweight Hughie Fury (19-0, 10 KOs) is made of this Saturday night in his fight against Fred Kassi (18-4-1, 10 KOs) in their 10 round contest for the vacant WBO International heavyweight title at the Copper Box Arena in London, UK.
I won’t be surprised in the least if we see a controversial decision in this fight. I really hope we don’t see Kassi, the visiting fighter, on the receiving end of a questionable outcome because that won’t help Hughie any. Hughie has the size to win, but size didn’t help the 6’7″ Dominic Breazeale against Kassi last September. Breazeale has more physical gifts than Hughie, and yet he was getting nailed by big power shots from Kassi all night long.
