    His jab goes the whole range - from useful, embarrassing to illegal.

    Hughie is tall. Has a long reach and has potential. But he lost to Parker because his offensive deficiencies were exposed and he showed very little aggression. He has time on his side. But it is way too early to get excited.

    To be fair, I believe even the UK ref warned him about it at some point.

    Would be interesting to see how many he did - anyone volunteering to suffer and count?

    They had 2 operators judging the fight as well, to the tune of 10-2 rounds. Vice president of WBO is stating the draw result was the one which was wrong. Its quite clear what's going on here.

    It sounds like youre hinting at some sort of conspiracy. I cant see that because Im a Parker fan and I truly believe Joe won based on his fighting. Team Parker were going to look at another opponent in May when Hughie failed to show in NZ and the WBO wouldnt allow it. The WBO demanded Parker fight Fury next or lose the belt.

    Only 1 judge against 2, obviously 1 is the odd number.

    It's not often that someone loses their own rigged game, but the Furys managed to do it.

    No, I don't want to think about that, but I already got the visual.

    Two guys circling and jabbing to eachother to a 12 round draw, while curing insomnia for the few thousand people who were stupid enough to watch the "fight".

    For a guy who said that he was training like there was no tomorrow, his body sure looked soft with hardly any muscle definition.

    He's still just 23.

    Will become stronger as it goes. Parker didn't swarm him down like people first thought. At least Hughie had enough pop to get some respect.

    Remember that Parker's 3 years older, thus more muscle matured and experienced. If we hypothetically gave Hughie 3 years from now it wouldn't have been as close.

    25-26 is much closer to your physical prime than 22-23.

    The pop will keep getting better.

    Maybe he just thought he would get away with just doing a montage like in those movies.
