Joseph Dennis Parker vs. Hughie Lewis Fury

I'll have to go with Parker purely cos ive nothing to go on with Fury.

Not sure if ill buy this with the whole youtube malarkey. I might if i can order it on the smart TV , but im not buying any PPV on the computer.
If any ppv needed the simple red button procedure its this one.

 

The Furys are special. If Parker wins this wont be easy at all. I expect another Fury win. Good fight.

 

Parker's really setting himself up for failure here. He'll need to come out like a man possessed and knock Hughie into next week or he's going to get jobbed in the ring and on the cards.

 

118-110?

 

Is that the win/loss record of Wilder's first 30 opponents?

 

Don't be silly.

Nash Equilibrium mathematics. That's what it is.

 

Ive read through all the comments and you all have valid points which is why this really is a 50/50 pick em fight on paper now id like to put my own assessment in.

I predicted a Fury UD in the league. His footwork is far superior than Parkers who in my opinion has horrific footwork and i think this will be a key factor. Hughie is so awkward being a switch hitter i think Parker struggles for the first 4 Rounds landing clean allowing Hughie to gather an early lead. From 4-9 is where this fight is won in my opinion.

CHIN
By round 4 Parker will know he has to adjust and i think at some point this round or the next he will land something meaningful on Hughies chin and the questions about Hughies chin will be answered. If he has the chin i think he has he will ride it out and carry on if not Parker puts him away before the 6th and thats all she wrote.

ENGINE
However, im backing Hughie to have a decent enough chin to take the damage taking us into around 7-9. People question Hughies engine considering he has never been 12 rounds and also raising questions of his fitness, health wise. If Hughie doesnt fade and can still keep a good enough pace to match Parkers pressure then i see him still knicking the rounds on his boxing ability.

HEART
Leading us into the Championship rounds i can see Hughie having a good 4-5 Round lead on most cards, assuming that chin has held up and hes not been put down. Parkers corner will know they have to produce something and being the kind of guy Parker is that will give him the 2nd wind he needs to really push on and he will pressure Hughie and bombs will land bringing into play Hughies heart and his composure

Im predicting a shootout last round with Hughie holding alot, doing anything too kill time and Parker will probably take them last 2/3 on activity closing the scorecards a little.

Hughie Fury to take a 116-112 imo but then again what do i know, Parker probably lands flush in round 2 kills Hughie Fury, Tyson Fury jumps the ring, they start scrapping then Brock Lesnars entrance theme comes on and Prince Naseem comes out on a flying carpet... what were we talking about again...?

 

Good post, Dag.

But Parker takes it.

 

I think Hughie outboxes Parker to win on points. I hope Parkers team take that defeat with dignity and give Hughie the credit he deserves.

 

Parker decision.

 

Parker's gonna shatter that suspect chin.

 

Wow! I'm amazed you picked Parker.

DINO! DINO! DINO!

 

I hope we don't have to see that, but I'm sure he will if he has to - he is a class act by comparison to Team Fury.

The question is, what if Parker wins....?
