      Let's hope Acne Boy has stayed off the tainted meat this time and the fight can go ahead.

      Has anyone heard about PED testing for this fight, I take it UKAD aren't overseeing this one after the fiasco with their allowing of the Furry's to compete whilst testing positive.

        I give Hughie a good chance in this. This is by far his biggest test but Parker has hardly looked that great. I think Parker is a level or two below the other champions or top guys in the division. He would have had no chance of being a world champ if it wasn't a vacant title.

          Parker is definitely showing a set of stones. Going to the UK and fighting in Fury's hometown is asking for trouble with the judges, but he's clearly intent on putting a hurt on him. Left the comfort of home and is willing to take a chance on something much bigger (take note, Deontay).

          Hughie won't have enough power to keep Parker away, so I'm expecting Parker to make sure this doesn't go to the scorecards.
          Parker as taking a real gamble here, dude can't let this go to points in the U.K.

          I'm not convinced this fight goes ahead yet anyway it's likely some ploy to use in the courts to use to support Hughie has been unable to earn a living whilst under this investigation for his failed doping test.

          If Hughie and his team are unable or unwilling to fight this time he needs to be removed from the WBO rankings and Parker allowed a voluntary fight whilst they find him another mandatory challenger. I've very little faith in the WBO when dealing with anything in regards to Frank Warren.

            Hard fight to predict.

            I think both guys have more potential than they have shown in a way.

            I think this one literally just comes down to who peaks on the night

            If forced to pick i'd go for hughie fury, just think he has a little too many looks for Parker. But if parker comes in his best form he's definatley got a chance.

              To be honest, if it goes the full 12 I don't see parker having done enough to earn a decision anyway. Fury is a lot busier with the jab, and technically astute.

              Parker is fast hands and power, it's the stoppage or bust for him anyway imo

                Hughie will be juiced to the gills and the judges will be rigged in his favour.
                Parker needs a KO, i think he'll get it late on, he seems to suffer from an extreme lack of urgency...i predict Barry to be screaming at him to stop fury around the 10th round.

                  Parker and Fury have had a bromance for a while now.

                    Parker has by far faced the best opposition and has several 12 rounders, Fury's record is mostly losers and has only one 12 rounder scheduled stopped in 7th which he won by TD. Again, give it to Parker for passing the nut check and going to the UK, although Parker needs a KO to win in the UK.

                      100%, likewise. I'll believe this fight is happening when the first punch is thrown...and if it does fall apart before this..I ain't counting on the WBO to do the right thing.

                      It's pretty sad that the leadup to a world title fight, is dominated by doubts about whether or not one of them will even turn up.
