Joseph Parker vs Hughie Fury set for april 1 in Auckland

Hopefully Hughie Fury wins.

 

Awesome! Crossing fingers and hoping there aren't and pull-outs. A true pick em HW fight - what a treat!

 

Parker the warrior, willing to take on all corners, no excuses, no alibi's and no retreats.

 

easy win for parker.

 

Pretty sure Parker won't pull out , but I am also pretty sure you mean H. Fury Good match , both unbeaten fighters , Fury looses it , he doesn't have the skills to beat Parker. A boring UD for Parker.

 

I like both these guys.
Parker's probably better than people are giving him credit for lately.
And if Hughie can win he deserves to be rated highly too.

 

I actually think Fury has the skills to make it a very rough, awkward and competitive night. But yeah, given Team Furys history... Definitely worried about a pull out. Haven't decided on who I'll go with yet though.

 

I lean towards Parker just because this guy stepped up! Got some pretty good match ups - he faced Takam and Ruiz , also he looked sharp against Dimitrenko. This must gain a lot of confidence , plus it will be his first defence also according to the post in his backyard. I think he will outbox Fury with some smart moves.
As for Fury... Well his team always talking about stepping up but they never do. He fought only one guy above the low level - Rudenko plus he didn't look good at all against Kassi. On the other hand he has 2 fights in the last year or so and Parker fought 5 times! He is in a pretty good rythm.

 

too bad the fury's hadn't perfected pulling out yet, twenty some years ago.

 

Not his choice. Hughie is his mandatory.

 

I think Fury is actually probably the better boxer of the two, what worries me is his lack of punching power. Also hasn't proved himself against guys like Takam and Ruiz as you said, though that doesn't necessarily mean he can't win here. Ok, gun to head I go with Parker by close decision... But definitely think Fury has the tools and skill to pull off the win.

 

Hughie's reach isn't listed but Parkers is just 76'.. Pretty sure Hughie has a longer reach than that.

 

Maybe you are right, I just don't like team Fury at all... At least for me it would be way better without them in the division. Pull-outs, trash talks ... okay T. Fury dethroned Klitschko and then what? He left a huge hole in the division at the moment when everyone thought it's getting better.

 

fury has always been a trash talking, ducking coward.
