Parker hasn't looked great in his last two fights (came in too heavy imo) but I expect him to have too much for Fury. Think we will see Parker back down at around 235 next week
I don't fancy Parker's chances of getting any decision in the UK with Furys people pretty much running the show. Parker will need a KO just to get the draw
Good to hear Stewie. Thanks for that. I had to follow the fight the hard way online with written comments only and it seemed to possibly go either way. We're out in the wap wraps at the moment.
If you think that giving it to Parker by that much restores your faith then I really don’t know what to say. To only give Fury two rounds is laughable.

100% Parker looked like a novice in the first half of the fight swing and missing wildly with piss poor footwork. I had it 8-4 Fury and couldn't see any result other than Fury win. Hit and don't get hit is boxing... Although Fury not best to watch!
Shocking scoring but the right result reached I had Parker winning but wow he gets ko d if he gets in with anyone from whyte upwards , Daniel Debois would ko him right now , hughie tried to copy Tyson with footwork and shot picking but was off in timing and didn't do enough in work rate
Parker has shown that the punch power he displayed against stiffs early in his career was vastly overrated. Three world title fights now and all of them by decision against C and D level challengers. He needs to cash out against AJ now before he loses the opportunity. Joshua wins by heavy KO

Didn’t say I agreed with the scoring but my faith is restored in the right fighter getting the decision after GGG had his pants pulled down last week.
Everything about this fight was fishy, including switching it from NZ to the UK after Hughies ‘injury’. I was positive Fury would get a hometown decision on a Hennesey promotion.

Not arguing that Parker isnt a weak champion but still has a better resume than Deontay Wilder,although that’ll change if Wilder beats Ortiz in November. The WBO does have a history of forgettable heavyweight champions ie Michael Bentt, Herbie Hide, Henry Akinwande and Siarhei Liakhovich!!!!!

sorry mate I can't agree with this. You said your faith has been restored in judging?
Because you thought Fury would get a hometown decision, you are happy that the judges went the other way. No way did Fury win only 2 round last night, he won a minimum 4. I would have scored it 6-4 Parker with 2 too very close. A winner by 3 would probably have been the fairest decision.
Yes the decision was probably right but to give Fury 2 rounds was a joke, but because you thought Parker needed a KO to even get a draw, faith in judging restored? Not by a longshot.

Parker the worst champ I have seen in years
A friend mine mentioned Daniel Dubois to me ages ago as being the next big thing. Is he any good?

Daniel Dubois is the most perfectly balanced boxer out there at the minute his footwork and ability to transfer power and real power much harder hitter than AJ is unbelievable considering his age and experience
I have seen him close up and watched him train it's amazing DDD will rule the world 100%

I don’t think the judges went the other way at all. The judge who scored it a draw was furthest off the mark. Fury won 4 round at the very most, if you’re generous. He didn’t take one forward step, he didn’t sit down on a single punch and his jab was practically a semi contact flick. In truth, Fury did nothing in this fight but run and hold. What bothers me about these so called fighting men ‘travellers’ is their reluctance to actually fight. That goes for Tyson’s win over Klitschko in what was possibly the most boring heavyweight championship fight in history. Like Hughie, he averaged 10-15 punches per round. Sorry I digress. Anyway, I’m just glad the fix wasn’t in as I expected with Mick Hennessy and the Fury’s pulling a fast one. With Hennessy losing so much coin with this promotion I was convinced it hinged on Fury taking the belt and them milking the cash cow clash with AJ.
Re Daniel Dubois - he punches like a train. He hit me with a playful left hook in sparring back in March of this yea and it span me 180 degrees onto my knees and I was taking tramadol for a week afterwards. Beast.
I agree ref hughie he did not do anywhere near enough to win the fight
But I take you to task ref Tyson , we all like a scrap in our boxing matches But there's also artistry and Tyson was punch and foot perfect against vlad
Why stand and trade which Tyson can and has let's not forget but you can also box smart and with the skills and footwork that allows you not to get hit
Tysons win was one of great boxing ring craft and skill and can not be diminished
DDD now you are nail on head there his power is so good I just pray they can teach the defense side to match his natural balance and power and power transfer which is all natural and gifted by god I really rate him higher than I ever rated AJ I still believe AJ is beatable and Is very easy to hit

Instead he weighs in even heavier than he did in May.
