He was barely throwing any punches, none with authority. To win with that style, you have to outland, you can't just stay on the backfoot 95% of the fight. You gotta bite down and fight and command some respect. Land good punches that catch the judges' eyes.
Eddie Hearn will be desperate to make Whyte or Bellew next against Parker. Really hope we don't see Bellew take on Parker next. Bellew's head has David Deron Haye's name all over it.
I've got butterflies.... Such an awful fight, but good for boxing. **** Team Fury. This is from a former massive fan. These guys have ****ed the division over royally and that has finally come to an end. Thank god! Maybe the local officials are sick of them too? Hence the wide cards, although I don't consider them to as unreasonable as some.
Hope to never see a Fury on a major televised card or in a championship fight again, what a ****ing awful style to sit through.
Not a fan of FMJ huh? Fury just put on a performance of that level with his defence. His jab was hitting cleanly, although not damaging its winning the fight. A few bursts of power-shots per round landing the odd one dosen't magically make all of those jabs in the round vanish.
Just be told.. Apparently, Mick Hennessy is on Radio 5 saying "some company is behind that (decision)" Interviewer said "that's a serious allegation" Mick Hennessy "Yes I know" I'm assuming (and it is an assumption) he is aiming that at Matchroom, regarding setting up an AJ fight.
My jaw literally dropped when after hearing those score cards then and still, my mouth was literally hanging open for ages, i thought 118-110 was a blatant home robbery.
I'm all for allowing different types of fighters a path to victory but Hughie was way too negative. He was making Parker miss but not countering with clean punching consistently and jab wasn't there either. The fight was there for Fury but didn't put it together.
