    This fight was like Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston in stylistically. Hughie Fury moved side to side and went backwards using angles and good jab. Parker was the slow plodder who had hard times cathing Fury.

    I had Fury winning by points atleast by 7-5 or 8-4. Parker just didn't do enough and he missed a lot. Parker didn't go to the body enough and let his hands go. I guess he didn't have the stamina to turn the fight into slugfest. Fury outboxed him via jab and side to side movement.

    It was enterntaining fight for those who likes to watch sweet science of boxing. Anyone else who enjoyed the fight?

    Ali actually put something on his jab to where it would actually do damage and work at wearing his opponent (in your example Liston) down. Fury literally was just making contact, I have a hard time even calling it a punch, and was the main reason why Parker was as fresh in the 12th as in the first. Fury has the movement part down, but his offense is pitiful. I mean damn even featherfist Malignaggi put something on his jab, and some signs would show his opponents were in a fight at the end.

    Unless you enjoy elite foot movement, and elite defence than it won't be for you. Its why I have Rigo above Loma in my P4P.

    I had Hughie up by 2 rounds at the end. I can see why people would have it to Parker by a few rounds. Those 118-110 scores were blatant corruption. Even you'll drop your jaw after seeing the fight.

    I actually enjoyed the fight and thought Hughie exposed Parker for almost the entire fight. Parker is a very limited boxer - I don't see him hanging with the top guys. It was like watching a bull following a matador around. The only problem for Hughie was that he set the traps but didn't bother to throw the significant punches when it was there on the plate - which explains to me why he can't complain about the loss. He kept setting Parker up for the uppercut about 4 times in a row, seriously Parker is just about as thick as **** a fighter as I've seen. He literally saw the postman knocking and every time and kept answering the door. Parker doesn't know how to cut the ring off. He doesn't throw a jab. He doesn't feint ... for a guy with decent hand-speed he really is a walking pile of ****, his feet are slow and he has zero inclination to change thing's during a fight - going on that performance. Andre Ward should listen to Virgil Hunter and quit retiring and fight Parker, he'd wipe the ****ing floor with this dumb****.

    Me, I bet on Parker to win. I thought he'd beat Hughie pretty handily. I thought Hughie boxed really good and so well he exposed Parker's position in the heavyweight scheme of thing's. Hughie is obviously a very fit guy because he used his legs all night long and twisted and turned keeping Parker completely mind-****ed for the whole fight. It's just a shame he didn't commit a little more to his punches. I can see why a lot of them were probably not even scored. The Fury's set out to rob Parker of a victory by hit-and-run, stealing the fight, and in their eye's they've been robbed, I don't think they can complain too much about it, though. There's a very fine line between winning and losing when you gamble on that kinda gameplan.

    Anyway, I watched the fight on Periscope so half the time it was like trying to figure out which pixel was throwing the punches. **** was I paying for that ****. These morons are going to kill boxing trying to extort cash from fans to watch a mediocre heavyweight fight and a ****-poor undercard to boot!.

    Why do I keep hearing Ali's name in the same sentence as Hughie Fury's. must be in some kind of ****ed up parallel universe.

    Fury better go back to chopping up more logs. I’ve rarely seen a heavyweight challenger as big as him with a such a obvious lack of power in his punches.

    If that was FMJ in there he would have won that fight by a shut-out.

    Floyd runs and then comes forward and picks where the exchanges will be made. Just like Ali, they dont just run, they box for a bit and then move. Hughie ran like he was trying to survive. He just ran. Even Ali would say thats not how you do it. Canelo even stopped more than Hughie. Hughie stopped running and came at Parker for about 50 seconds in that whole fight.
