Comments Thread For: Fury: Even Wilder Thought I Beat Parker - Everyone Can't Be Wrong

[Holler]

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.

That's such a good summation.

I think Fury may struggle to get decent fights. His technique will give anyone problems and even if he loses, his style means that his opponents will not look impressive.

You lost fury even though I wanted you to win.
You've not enough experience at this level to knoiw if you've done enough or not.
Its one thing PAC feeling he was roibbed against bradlkey or floyd as PAC has been there and done that, bought t shirt.
But yoiur new to this. Learn from it and piut down to experience.
You lost out this time but will win next time like groves has

You can't possibly win if you refuse to fight, these "fighters" need to stop using Lara's gameplan, run away from the fight

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.

Totally agree, was a frustrating fight. Very rarely do you see someone so defensively sound and comfortable in a fight, only to lose on aggression widely.

Inexperience I think, I'm sure he felt like he won as well and is the better boxer, but you have to make it clear at this level, you need to land damaging/eye-catching punches and you have to force the other guy back sometimes.

He will come again for sure.
