Why would Parker fight anyone when there is a potential bout with AJ in his next fight? He could get KO'd by AJ in the 1st round and then still fight Browne after.
Considering his background and lack of raw talent or athletic ability Browne has done remarkably well for himself, and for that I commend him. He's an absolute KO loss waiting to happen, however, and Parker would be the one to deliver it to him if they ever got in the ring. Browne's only hope would be to lay another one in a million shot on Parker's granite mandible and hope to replicate a Chagaev moment, which is possible considering Browne's freakish strength but unlikely when everything else is taken into account.
saw him fight chagaev and he boxed ok better than i thought and chagaev was onc a good fighter but v browne he was actually fat and in **** condition . parkers handspeed is the fastest in the division and browne is open to flush shots as he does not ride punches with his neck and is going to have to be able to soak up flush shots to get his own punches off. if parkers chin is suspect and so far to me he looks solid then browne has a chance if parker can take brownes punches then he is going to start teeing off on browne time and time again and i cannot see browne with his skillset having a plan b the only way he can win is to make it a slugfest last man standing wins. parker has more options .
I suppose you're right.... Hughie is an 'elite level' novice though. Don't get me wrong though, for me, I thought Hughie won the fight with Parker. I wouldn't say my method of scoring is very 'traditional', i just thought over 12 rounds he 'controlled' the style of the fight more than Parker did.
Like sean said, Parker has fast hands, but his feet are slow. Coupled with his rather short wingspan and that means there are limits to how much he can make his handspeed count. Hughie didn't win the fight with Parker. It wasn't even that close.
If you re-read my post, you will see that i said my method of scoring in the fight wasn't what you would call 'traditional'. Not that there is one way to score a boxing match....
No there isn't, but there's simply very little that Hughie did that could be scored under any criteria. He moved well and stayed out of danger, but he also failed to land anything of significance or press the fight in any way. If his aim was to make Parker look bad then he succeeded, but that alone isn't enough to win you a fight unless the scorecards are already filled in and simply require you to reach the finish line in one piece.
Adelaid Byrd (Who you can slag off all you want and call corrupt etc etc) claimed that she would never ever score a round 10-10.... Other judges score rounds 10-10..... Therefore, there is more than one way to score a fight.
Yes, I accept that. I'm saying that even when you take into account the various ways of a scoring a fight in a fighter's favour there's very little in Hughie's performance that you could actually score him points for.
Hence i said my scoring wasn't 'traditional' and necessarily correct. I purely believe that over the twelve rounds, the fight was fought at a style which suited Hughie more than Parker.
