Gordon R Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Fury showed great hand speed and footwork, but never troubled Parker. Parker was the only one who seemed to want to fight. I can't quite comprehend how Fury's corner seemed happy with the way it was going. Parker wins - no great surprise, but he showed nothing which would trouble Joshua or Wilder.

chrisjpainter Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 did you watch it? i only followed the text on bbc. if you read that, you'll wonder how fury was down to lose it. was it the right result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Yes - I watched it. Result looked okay to me. One judge had it 114/114, the other two had it 118/110. Listening to the commentary, I might have been deluded enough to think Fury was winning. Richie Woodhall said, with two rounds to go, that he thought Parker was ahead. I agreed with him and Parker then won the last two. Fury fought a bit like his cousin Tyson did against Vlad, but didn't really land anything of substance. Fury's fight plan seemed to be survival, without ever attempting to wrest the title from Parker.

I'd rather a bad boxer win by trying to go for it than a good boxer win by trying not to get hurt. seems like a reasonable result, if perhaps not the scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Parker took it for sure imo. Hughie is a very skillful boxer but lacks a big punch which will always be a weak spot especially in the HW division where usually it can all change on one big dig. Parker a KO artist so Fury had to box clever but didnt do enough. Luke Campbell went the distance with Linares early this morning and put up a very good showing. I expected Linares to easy decision or late KO but won a few rounds.Some had him winning but dont think he did enough.

walshie Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Before the fight Fury predicted he would KO Parker. With all the backpedalling he did in the ring, the only thing missing was the Benny Hill music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I struggled to keep my eyes open for the fury fight. Parker was the more powerful and attacking fighter. The commentators made it more of a fury victory except Woodhall he had Parker up by rnd 7. Fury may have won it if he hadnt ran about as much. It was a bit sweeter as team fury all assumed they had won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just in case some dont know Lomachenko and Rigo have signed to fight on Dec 9th. Rigo had to go up as no one would fight him where he was so will be a big task for him at the higher weight but should be an extremely skillful fight. Would have to go for Loma.

washerboy Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 It was truly awful How on earth those two fought for a world title I will never know. Fury is British standard at very best as for Parker, he gets worse with every fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fight with the Benny Hill music is something I wanna see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 On other boxing news, i see Frampton has moved on and named his new Promoter. Carl Frampton has signed a deal with promoter Frank Warren and BT Sport. He has revealed he will return to action before Christmas in Belfast and then pursue a world title fight in the first half of next year, with his fights being screened solely on BT Sport in the UK.

DannyS Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 IMO if you're the contender trying to take the belt, you cant fight off the back foot, you've got to go out there and take it! Like you said Sako, Fury is a very skillful fighter which is refreshing for the HW div but his lack of punching power is always gunna be an issue in the div. Cant wait for Loma - Rigo, should be fireworks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yickdaz Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 it was an awful fight, fury danced and ran around the ring for 12 rounds very negative, and parker walked him down all night but neither of them landed anything big, fury did ok on the back foot but simply didn't do enough it reminded me of the golovkin fight walking canelo down all night but both landed good shots and more of them , listening to peter fury and mick hennessy after the fight you would think it was the biggest robbery in boxing history I don't know which fight they watched though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 It must have been the same fight as the judge who scored it even. It just wasn't the same fight I watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
