Parker looks on form to deliver a strong performance this time. But I am worried that this promotion is bought and paid for by the Fury team. Maybe my concerns are unwarranted ??
Same the world over these days Boxing is CORRUPT all over the world Nowhere comes close to Vegas they are #1 Joseph MUST KO Hughie to be sure
no these days about it. boxing has always been only a step above pro wrestling when it comes to corruption and being rigged.
Parker needs the KO but not because of any possible corruption or ineptitude from those officiating. Recent fights where Parker has been taken the distance he's been lucky to face pretty inactive opposition. Fury has a good work rate and good boxing skills so is more than capable of winning a fair decision if Parker can't utilise his speed and power effectively. Parker's speed and ability to get off first will be key. He just can't be has predictable with his attacks. He'll also need to focus on Hughie's body, to take away his movement. If he head hunts all night he'll struggle.
Parker will be screwed on the cards if it is close but no worse than Andy Ruiz was in NZ. Parker will need to beat up Fury to leave no doubt that he is the winner. A KO would be good as we have yet to see Hughie take a shot off a quick power puncher like Parker.
It does seem a little bent from the start since Parkers team won the original purse bid, but because of dirty tactics by Team Fury (surprise), that fight ended up being cancelled. Still not quite sure how it ended up in the UK considering there was not a second purse bid to my knowledge. That aside. Parker is many levels above anything HF has faced in a competitive fight before. If Parker goes for it, he wins by brutal KO. If he sits back and tries to outbox HF, he may have problems, since he doesn't look able to keep up his concentration for a full 12 rounds.
I think Parker will get his KO or at least a very one sided beat down. And all 12 people that pay for the YouTube PVP will get to see it first.
the closer we get, the more i think parker is out of his depth. he just isnt a good enough boxer. hughie may seem to have a lack of power, but he has been preparing for this fight by getting rounds in, and his boxing ability/movement is exceptional for such a big guy. A fury UD or even KO would be the smart money.... but dont quote me on that if parker wins. could go either way, big respect to both. hopefully there is no controversy. but im leaning to a fury victory
Unfortunately boxing is scored subjectively so playing away always has its risks.. You go to someones backyard you need to make it clear and thats usually a ko.
