We don't have to fear that we have to go trough it all again, as WBO vice president Duggan stated that Fury had no chance of having the result overturned, and that Parker was a clear winner. He felt the contest was a close, despite the wide scorecards.
And he said that the 114-114 card was the one that was suspect: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11926494
Yeah Im pretty sure its a closed book now and both fighters will move on. What started in January has just now ended in September. Its taken awhile to get that boring fight we saw, get underway. It took as long as pregnancy.
They hardly have strong claims that they won. Hughie wasn't urgent enough and didn't listen to his corner. Now they are paying the price for it. The fake outrage they are carrying on with is just plain childish.
But what about him wearing Ali's shades to hide his marked up face... that has to count for something, right?!
Hennessy did say it was like Ali's second coming. Perhaps it was the glasses that had him making that comparison? Can't think of what else it could have been.
Parker is a champion who had to concede the ground advantage plus officials and still come up with the win. Nobody thinks Fury won but themselves. The way they celebrate after 12 rounds made me laugh. All 3 score cards are bad. 8 rounds were too wide but a draw was too close. I gave up scoring after 4 rounds. Anyway, terrible fight and please don't let us sit through that again.
It's difficult for someone to lose their own rigged fight, but the Fury's pulled it off spectacularly.
So how come Terry O’Connor is removed as the ref because someone protest he can’t be trusted as being unbiased and he suddenly becomes of the the judges? He’s a crooked ref but he’s a honest judge?
Maybe the trick was to get eyes on him as a judge, expecting him to score it fairly (or even in Parker's favor) after the GGG vs Canelo fallout. People expected him to score it 118-110 for his countryman, and he scored it the exact opposite.
