    Also remember that time when Hughie was kind of rag dolled by Parkers hooks? They didnt land but it shifted Hughie around like he was light. Well Floyd whos light as feather would go flying from Joes hooks, even if Floyd blocked. Believe what Im saying to you cos thats for real.

    LL "ran" from Tua all night. Generally your best way of beating a knock-out artist is to keep the hell away from them.

    yeh i touhght hugie might mix it more and was going to win that dominant jab. but stick and run isnt enough on its own. you need to win points inside too.

    wOW Fury is a weakling.

    He went flying because Parker can obviously punch, especially up close. A blocked punch is still a blocked punch, even if you move a little.

    No he didnt. Watch the fight properly, Lewis came forward a few times too. Lewis never ran like Hughie did. Lewis was a far better fighter than Hughie and he didnt run too often.

    Im just saying FMJ wouldnt have won that fight by a shut-out like you claim. Saying stuff like that is to truly not know boxing. Theres a reason for weight divisions. Come on.

    Apart from one uppercut, where on the highlights does Hughie look like a champion?

    No, i mean that was how a FMJ fight usually goes, and if he was in there he would of won that fight. FMJ rarely got hit and won every round with a few punches of his own. That's what Fury did, he won a boxing match.

    but you have to box to win too.

    evasion scores points but its always going to lag the aggressor. its boxing not dancing. lewis outobxed tua.

    Apart from moving and a couple of good uppercuts, Hughie Fury did nothing at all. He clinched every time Parker got close, and his jab, although it looked quick and sharp, wasn't actually landing.

    I didn't bother to score this fight, because this is a kind of fight where you can win a round by a single flurry with all the punches blocked by your opponent, or by landing a single significant shot in the round. Same as BJS - Monroe, lack of action makes you give rounds to the fighter who showed at least some activity, even when he wasn't effective. And I hate this kind of fights.

    That highlight video is not going to show all the jabs that were landing. Parker obviously had the better moments just as Canelo did vs GGG. Fury never landed near enough jabs as GGG, but he landed and that's why he won the rounds. Its like 10-15 jabs landed to 1-2 power punches landed, and those power punches never hurt Hughie, except for 1 time.

    His jab was a range finder, not all of them landed but when Parker dropped his guard he was landed more than people realise.

    Another YouTube highlights of the fight. Again apart from Hughies one uppercut, where does he look like a champion? He looks like hes surviving, look at his face in horror at whats chasing him.

    I suggest you watch that in slow motion because you clearly can't see Hughie blocking most of those punches. Like dead on 0:43 look at Parker hitting the glove. That's not a landed punch.
