Can't wait to see his face drop after Round 1. He will know at that point what it means to step up 2 levels. Parker easily
He doesn,t fight often....why not? Bruno , mason or even Horace Notice fought every 2 or 3 months or so when they were going up....
Parker needs a big KO win here, he could get a sky box office fight vs AJ or even Bellew if the momentum is right. If he labours to a boring decision might not happen.
You understand he is the champ right? He could sleep walk his way to victory and Bellew would kneel in front of him for a chance of the belt
hughie is a very good boxer, first gold in the amateurs for a brit at HW and moves very well for a big guy, hes slightly taller than parker. that amateur exp doesnt always translate across (price) but hes been doing well against an increasing level of opponent. Of course, its now another step up and hes been inactive for a while, which adds to the intrigue. i cant help but think parker is just a boxers dream though, he seems far too slow and predicable at times. but he can box well at times and hits hard while hughie doesnt seem to. they have both always done enough to win. Interesting fight, good luck to whoever wins, both taking on a challenge and respect to them both.
Peter Fury saying the fight's on doesn't mean diddily. Hughie can't draw. They would have got a full house in New Zealand.
YOU You've got that the wrong way round, you can only buy the coloured tickets. seems to have sold well despite some anonymous posters on an obscure boxing forum suggesting otherwise
The promoters should attach one of those ankle bracelet tracking devices to Hughie. So he can be located on fight night.
