    Ok, Hughie is young enough and good enough technically to bounce back.

    It was the right decision but the score cards are wide.

    Hughie doesn't fight often enough to be able to gain momentum, he is surrounded by less than envious characters. So what now.

    Does he continue to fight the lesser competition as prior to this fight or does he try and get some man strength to actually fight when he needs to.

    The dancing around the ring is an art, but there is no substance, no effective countering, the power is not there to deter other fighters.

    So what do you think he should do?

    He's screwed. Zero fan demand for that style.

    He's got some talent but he's not strong enough... if he had more power and strength he could have won tonight...

    He does move well but needs to be more effective with his punches. Normally I wouldn't say this but he needs to get on the weights and put some muscle on that frame, if he wasn't 6'6" he'd look like a little boy...

    Maybe fight a david price to start building himself back up again. He's not exciting enough or a big enough draw to jump in with the big names in the division right away.

    If he wants to be a world champion he needs to gain some strength though imo.

    Hughie is barely top 5 in the UK. His best win is to beat the second best boxer in Cameroon.

    I thought Parker won convincingly, really not sure what the fuss is about or what Furys team thought they saw. It was a great result for boxing.

    John Fury in his interview on IFL later just showed him for the deluded, ignorant scum he is.

    He should stop playing the victim for a start. They (fury clan) have this them against Us attitude and think everyone is out to get them because they are in the traveling community.
    He not going to get an easy ride with his cousin Tyson shouting his mouth off at the bbbc after the fight and claiming everyone is corrupt.
    The fact is he did nothing in this fight but run and hold. Yes he's got a good defence and can move well but you can't expect to win a fight by out jabbing opponents off the back foot. A lot of judges will give rounds just because one fighter is the aggressor. He needs to throw more leather, not just for tactical reasons but also because he's boring to watch. It's an entertainment business as well and he ain't gonna win many fans or be a pay per view star with his negative style.
    He only has himself to blame.

    Yep, the reason everyone is allegedly against them is because they act like clowns and bring the sport into disrepute...not because they're travellers...

    Hughie seems a nice chap to be fair, as does peter, it's the rest of the clan that lets them two down...they refuse to follow the rules and cry when they're punished for it...and all that god and Jesus bull****...pull the other one for christs sake...

    Scores were wide but decision was fair...

    Tyson got the nod in Germany so how can they say the whole of boxing is corrupt and against them?

    He needs to get active and earn his title shot.

    He needs to actually start fighting viable names.

    Looking at him last night, his future wearing that skirt looks to be in an all male partnership with Anton Du Beke in Strictly Come Dancing

    If they where serious , they will have to go back and ask Big Frank to put him on his shows and fight regularly asap. But there Furys so we know they aren't...I even heard Peter say something about Hughie taking a break until January

    Hughie needs to fight regularly to build momentum and improve on his man strength otherwise I can't see how he can improve. Defensively Hughie is good, offensively there is nothing there.

    Did anyone also notice the ropes last night, they were loose to enable Hughie to roll and bounce of them

    He's trying to be Tyson F

    But Tyson F adopted a hit and not get hit against a ko artist for one fight (klit) . Usually he fights with movement and volume . That the only way Tyson could win.

    They like to play the victim and cry and moan. But then claim to be real fighting men. Tyson F was a breath of fresh air against this strong left pc brigade. But he's been battered by them and hasn't the mental fortitude to stand for what he believes in. He has buckled and is a broken man. Like most of the furies

    They are very hypocritical John fury is taking about being a peaceful guy and real human . That's bollox if your going to he an honest God fearing man at least admit your a animal who at times can't control himself
