    He's not my favourite fighter to watch mate, I'll not lie. He was winning that fight against Kassi quite comfortably though and I think it would have been a wide majority decision had it gone the full stretch.

    He's not only got height and size on Parker but he's got excellent movement and a quality jab. He's not bothered about landing that big shot and is happy notching up rounds.

    agree with everything you said there, especially about the ifl interview with frank sat in a shitty office in an industrial estate while eddie is sat in the garden of his essex mansion.

    Exactly.
    When the fight's over at least one of them will be eliminated from further immediate cotention.
    They might both prove to be **** but still the winner moves forward.
    OR .... one or both of them might actually look better than ever and that will be great for the division.

    It's a proper fight, relevant to the division's pecking order. Not necessarily worthy to be the "world title" but more than just a sideshow.

    Hughie Fury the Paula Smith of the Heavweight Division.

    Stunk out the joint in nearly all of his fights and done nothing to be anywhere near a World Title fight.

    I believe Hughie Fury has the second best skill set out of all the heavyweights, only second to his big cousin. He has looked flat on a few occasions but when you consider he had a serious blood disorder it was a real gut check he even won all these fights. He was weighing in as little as 15'7st because of his illness and that isn't ideal for a 6"6ft heavyweight. I believe we will see new found power from him in his next fight, not saying he will be a knock out artist but enough to gain anyone's respect, that alongside a better engine and his boxing ability he will be a massive force in the division and certainly too good for Parker in my opinion.

    Parker will be far too tough for hughie, hughie probably won't turn up anyway.

    Well Parker better hope he don't turn up as for the most part Hughie will box his ears off.

    Until he quits when it gets too tough.
