deluded....

He's missing the point. Nobody wants to see that again, win, lose, or draw.

Fury didn't land as much as Lara. Erislandy may be dull but he has some power. Fury wasn't punching, he was trying to touch Parker.

Lara landed more? Go look at the Compubox

Just keep fighting the best available and be more aggressive next time

Parker is the weakest champion by a mile.

Shurrup Fury you don't win because you put up a "good effort" - you have to take the title, now go back to the gym, you boring non-performing cvnt

Bingo.

Hughie is a nobody in this division.

You lost. I didn't care about either fighter, but that was easy to see. The only thing you're winning at is looking like Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Hughie has the movement, defence, timing and boxing skills down, he's just too weak just now. Once he develops in a few years he will give any fighter fits. And this experience should make him more proactive instead of reactive.

The problem with Hughie going forward is no one is going to want to fight him, he will make any fighter in the world look bad. He'll just need to take his time and work himself back to mandatory, there's no rush.

Guys like Gorman and Dubois are inevitable fights in the next year or two.

Yeah totally agree mate. He has got some serious skills but I watched the fight back last night and was just screaming at him to throw more right hands. When he did throw the right hand it had a bit of power but it was so infrequent.

I was one that came out and said that he would school Parker. He could have done. His footwork and movement was great but he just didn't hold his feet and throw any combinations of note. At every opportunity he had he moved back, even the few times Parker went against the ropes he immediately moved back.

If he had shown more aggression in his jab and by trying to assert himself more then he could have won that fight pretty comfortably.

Fury was so negative that it was very hard to score the rounds, if he just threw a few straight right hands each round that would've been enough for me.

Great Defensive Performance but a truly Awful Offensive Performance so with Parker's aggression I actually had no problem with the 118-110 scorecards and I actually had no problem with the 114 - 114 scorecard. Hughie Fury made the fight really hard to score, just 3 clean right hands landed per round would of defintely won it for him but just using the jab 90 % of the time isn't enough especially when your constantly defending multiple combination attacks a round even if most of it wasn't landing the pure aggression wins the round if all there is coming back is a few flick jabs.
Fury threw a couple of right hands only when Parker fell over his punches into the ropes and in a couple of rounds he threw an uppercut occasionally when Parker was coming in.

It wasn't enough though I do believe that if Hughie Fury if he actually ATTACKS his opponents rather than constantly moving back, flicking a few jabs and repeat with the odd safe counter he has enough talent to be a real force and top 5 heavyweight for many years to come. He has the talent, he is very young, the WBO Mandatory position was forced on him (due to David Haye passing up on the opportunity to fight Bellew) so you know he couldn't pass up on a world title shot but he was inactive for 1 year due to medical problems and ideally he would have had 3 fights to sharpen his attack so in a way bad timing for the kid. Ideally though in any fight you expect at least a few venomous nasty right hands to show a clear intention to win and damage the opponent especially in a world title fight and that is why Hughie Fury did not get the decision.

Totally agree.
