Joseph Parker vs Hughie Fury set for april 1 in Auckland

Great fight, as not enough top fighters face each other due to the corruption in boxing.

I think Parker knocks Hughie out, because Hughie is over rated based purely on his association to Tyson, and because he has weak punching power.

Parker will just walk through him. He won't even blink at Hughie's shots.

 

One is 22 and one is 25. I'm sure an "O" at this point of their careers won't be a bad thing. These days, it seems to get you multiple title shots within 2 years....

 

Very interesting fight, Fury is pretty good fighter if he has gotten over his past illness, don't know if the judges will be fair though............

 

I actually would have liked it to be in Furys hometown so that Parker can be seen by the british boxing fans and because Im confident Parker can take it. So confident that I would be willing to give Fury the home ground advantage.

KO victory for Joe? Victory, yes. KO, I dont know. I thought he would knockout Andy Ruiz but Ruiz ended up earning my respect for his durability. Joe might cop criticism if he doesnt get a KO and for fighting at home and etc but the main thing is getting the win.

 

I either see Parker take him out once he's sure Hughie can't hurt him, or it will be a close and scrappy affair where the fight could go either way and magically always goes the way of the home favorite.

 

Parker UD. Not very high on Hughie. Very good step up for him. And a worthy opponent for Parker, too.

 

Manchester is mentioned as a possible venue. Lets hope they have it there.

The fight won't be in Manchester irrespective of what gets said. Only an idiot would believe that's any possibility.

Parker wins this. He's fought better opposition & will be fighting at home.

Even if Fury shuts down his offence by virtue of his size & awkwardness, Parker can still win by outworking him.

There's also the possibility that Parker lights him up like a Christmas tree.

 

Parker doesn't have a high work rate at all. I don't see him out working a guy who has a better work rate.

He needs to take Hughie out to win or else he gets worn down and stopped late. Ruiz gassed after 4 rounds. Had he been conditioned to go the 12 he would have shut Parker out.
I had him winning as it was.

 

I don't agree with any of your analysis but you're certainly entitled to it.

I think Parker has more ways to win & will.

That's if Hughie shows up.

 

Fury's don't lose. Hughie 12 round schooling

 

If they don't lose then he ain't taking the fight.

 

Yeah and Tyson Fury was suppose to get ko'd by the first jab from Wlad. There was many posters making claims like that. What happend there? Skills pay the bills. Hughie is a 6'6 boxing master, Parker hits hard so what. Hes gonna be swinging at air.

 

Let me tell you this Hughie is taking this title fight now because he is fully healthy. That shite is over Hughie wants the best now.
