BETTING ODDS: The odds are almost dead even for this one, with Parker sitting at about -125 in most books. No bonus multiplier
You only need to post in this thread to indicate if you'd like to use one of your 2X or 3X multipliers. EG.
BrometheusBob.,2X
If you are using no multiplier (1X), and not picking a draw, just voting in the poll puts you in. I will assume you want 1X unless you post otherwise.
NOTES:
-Draws are worth 120pts
-CLOSE is <=12 pts difference, or equivalent to 116-112 on all three scorecards or closer
WIDE is >12 pts difference
-PM me before the fight starts with a different pick in order to change your pick.
-2X doubles your points and 3X triples your points. Everyone starts with 3 doubles and 2 triples to use throughout the year. If you forget how many you have left, check the leaderboard in the master thread.
Sticky me -MEGA-
I will look at the version of this thread I've downloaded when doing the scores
But that being said this seems like a tough call. I don't want it to be the case where everyone picks one fighter in the poll and the other in the thread for every fight in order to get credit. And your post didn't seem very decisive.
I made that post straight after clicking the poll. PLus I was supposed to say Parker via close decision so I always felt it wold be close, going for the guy with more top level experience.
From my posting record you know I'm not bothered enough to make this **** up lol

He is so lenient nowadays. I bet he will give you the benefit of the doubt but if I were in charge you would get nil.
Urgh, another ugly match up lol
I've seen enough of Parker to know he's trash...I have seen little of Hughie but he looks like trash too...I mean, like physically, he looks ****e.
I guess Parker just cos he is proven at the higher level.

Glad I went with my instincts and predicted wide decision. Bob, I still get full points even though one judge called a draw, right?
I go by total score difference, which was 16. That is > 12, so the correct pick was wide decision.
I really don't know too much about either, but I know that the general consensus among fans is that of all the top heavyweights, Parker is considered the weakest out of the bunch.
I've only watched Hughie a few times but I've watched a ton of Parker and I haven't been too impressed with Joseph his last few fights.
Combine that with ref home cooking I'm going with Fury by close decision.
Hughie has just always looked like someone who has potential, but never really got where he needs to be to compete w/ the big names.
Parker is just so inconsistent. If he's on, he on. I'm going to guess that he's had a lot of time to rest, he has no hometown distractions, and he knows the ref is an issue so I think he'll buckle down and make a statement.
I am shocked this fight is PPV who in the hell would buy this fight, I really thought it would be free considering they have only sold 8000 tickets (Mostly Touts I presume).

Hope Parker wins.Did not like the aggressive antics of the Fury clan in the weigh inn eg Tyson Fury saying to cousin nut him and the push that followed
Damn i voted wrong, i wanted to vote for Parker by knockout 9-12, could you change that please?
Can't change the poll but I'll score your pick as Parker KO 9-12 :boxing:
