    Terry O'Connor now a judge instead of the ref.

    To be honest, O'Connor is as bad as a judge as he is a ref. Marcus McDonnell is definitely a better ref than O'Connor though.

    Id prefer to have O'Conner as the ref than a judge actually.

    He won't be as bad as adalaide bryd in vagas but you will need to win 10-11 rounds to scrap a 7-5 win

    Actually fury already has won the fight on o conners score card.

    Fury us talented and at the very least makes every round close as he's very hard to hit and has a good jab, he will get the close rounds on Terrys card

    Tbf to O'Connor he gave Rosado a draw against Murray so he isn't that biased as a judge...

    Let's hope this doesn't effect the outcome of the fight.

    Let's be honest, from what we have seen from Hughie he isn't a world level challenger and Parker shouldn't be worried about getting the decision as he should beat him easily.

    this fight has been the biggest farce in boxing of 2017. I never seen a fight that had so many shenanigans involved from the fight being delayed, moved to the UK, the hometown potential cooking and the circus known as the Fury family.

    The other 2 judges are Saunders' son and Tyson Fury.

    Tbh I'm not fussed but one thing I can stand about Marcus Mac is the way he screams "staahpboxing!" every single time there is a clinch in the same helium high pitched shrill as his brother Jim.

    I'm not sure what's actually worse, O'Connor as a referee or as a judge in a titlefight with a Brit in it? And still a British referee in there, although a much better one.

    O'Connor has a history of giving foreign fighters a fair shake on British soil as a judge.

    I understand the skeptics where the Furys are involved but this fight shouldn't even be competitive if Parker is good enough.
