    Well after watching the fight I can say a few things about Fury:

    PROS:

    1. He has great footwork, great ring movement/lateral movement
    2. Solid defense/head movement/relflexes
    3. Great punch accuracy especially with jab, he almost never misses
    4. Good hand speed

    CONS:

    1: Lack of Aggressiveness/Killer Instinct
    2. Low punch output - only throws 10-15 shots per round
    3. Lack of Punching Power


    Hughie Fury is basically Vitali Klitschko that has been neutered. Imagine if Hughie had the killer punch and instinct of Vitali? He would of put away Parker in the first rounds.
    Anyways, did I miss anything? lol

    My imagination won't stretch that far. The reality is Hughie has no power and is totally unwilling to take the fight up to a decent opponent. Running away and throwing only jabs won't win him much.

    Very negative and spoiling style... He beats most just on that alone, but as the other night demonstrated it won't be enough against the top 5 of the division. No way is he getting a rematch, so wonder what team Fury will do with him? IDK.... Price or Allen?

    He's not going to beat a top opponent anytime soon the way he is currently.

    To summarise Fury sucks.
    The whole team suck. I was scratching my head when round 12 ended and the corners celebrated as if they have put on Calzaghe Lacy type of display. Lmfao lol ..

    Alexander Dimitrenko would be a fascinating match up. Beatable by Hughie but could make him look better and have to do more offence as he can't use his height advantage in the way he has will all the last opponents. Should get him back into the flow quickly too

    ha yea.. I guess I'm getting Nostalgic for Vitali!! kinda the same way people got nostalgic for Ali and Tyson when watching Vitali I guess.. It's really gonna take a few decades for the general public to appreciate him, he truly was a beast.

    He will have a hard time.

    There's no big money in fighting him.
    There's a very good chance fighting him would end up a dull affair, reflecting badly on the other as well.
    Fury's have the name to pull out of fights... big risk at loss of income/inactivity.
    Bad behavior, bad promotions, little exposure, complaining and treating the opponent badly isn't really inviting either.
    If he lands another shot, he would have very little chance of winning because they're all better as Parker, and he won't ever get the decision "fighting" like that.

    He had his chance, and the deck was completely stacked in his favor.
    Unlucky for him dark force Count Duco waved his hand and Sith mind-tricked 2 of the judges to reverse their bought 118-110 score for Parker instead. At least that's the Hennesy/Fury take on events.

    Mick Hennessy was getting nostalgic for Muhammad Ali when he watched Hughie running away from Parker. Not sure why? Like most I couldn't see any similarity between the two.

    Yes this,maybe we all expected more cause of what Tyson did but truth is we had no idea what he was like as this was his first decent opponent and he failed miserably

    Good point,the whole team do indeed suck as they just let the rematch with Wlad go,never seemed to even try and stop Tyson from eating himself to death and basically due to their supposed hard man gypsy culture just couldn't find it in em to actually tell Tyson to cut out the BS and fight instead of laughing at his jokes and watch him lose his voice and take class A drugs like there was no tomorrow whilst also being responsible for both of em being brought up on PED charges,way to go Team Furey.

    I actually expect Hughie to do well in the future but Im not sure if he'll get a big name fight anytime soon. I suggested in another thread that David Price, who is a decent name, might be a good fight that would generate interest and a fair climb up the ladder.

    Parker shouldn't fight Fury again because lets face it, Hughie wasn't easy for Parker, not as easy as I thought anyway and most of all, it was boring.

    If Hughie can take their power, he wont run as much and will box like he did with all those opponents he fought before the Parker fight. However as soon as he feels some power, he will resort to movement but hopefully he wouldve learnt to tone it down a bit.
