Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-09-23, disappointing fight between Joseph Parker and Hughie Fury: it gets two stars.Both undefeated, the Wbo Hw champion Joseph Parker entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 23-0-0 (18 KOs=78%) and he is ranked as the No.6 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Anthony Joshua) while his opponent, Hughie Fury (Tyson Fury’s cousin), has an official record of 20-0-0 (10 knockouts). Parker won the vacant Wbo heavyweight title last year against Andy Ruiz Jr (=Parker vs Ruiz Jr) and he successfully defended it once in 2017 with Razvan Cojanu (=Parker vs Cojanu) while Fury is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since April 30, 2016 when he defeated Fred Kassi (=Fury vs Kassi); before this bout he had also won over Dominick Guinn. Hughie Fury vs Joseph Parker is valid for the WBO World heavyweight title (Parker’s second defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Fury was doing a marathon in that ring
GGG-Canelo 2.
118-110 was far to wide. But I think Parker maybe just did enough. Fury had no power behind his shots.
No way Jose
Watched the fight while doing something else and muted the sound. Seemed to me like “Hugging” Fury should have been penalized for pulling Parker’s head down, holding him, etc. Glad Parker won.
You had the right idea just glancing at this one. I wanted to see if Parker had improved, so I suffered through the whole thing. Answer: no, he’s still pretty raw. He was also exposed a bit tonight as someone who’s easy to trick. But he’s fearless, relentless and predatory, which in my book puts him ahead of the overcautious Hughie.
All true! He should take a new trainer and coach. Is Freddy Roach available?! He needs to add some structure to his game. Roach could be the right guy for that. In a way, Parker is like a HW version of Provodnikov. ;P
I never watch the HWs (plus I find Parker is highly uninteresting) and I appreciate your opinion on the fight.
I will forgo watching it.
it was nothing but FEAR !
Hughie ran all the fighting
Thank god this lame mandatory is over!
Couldn’t even finish watching.
Dont want to watch a Fury fight ever again.
No10Count: I feel the same way.
Parker looked flat footed and should have had the runner out of there in two. Fury, apart from looking like someone with St Vitas Dance busting for a piss has no power or game plan. I
looked at all his victims prior to this fight and they appear to be all gimees but one. Hopefully he will be out of the HW scene and go back to peeling spuds or whatever he did before taking up his position as ring runner. Parker needs a new game plan if he going to progress or even survive in the heavy weight arena. He should ditch oil head and get a thinking coach. A totally boring fight, not worth watching
I never saw Parker before fighting like this. Certainly he was in full aggression mode but with very messy and unsuccessful attacks. it was the fight of just one boxer because Fury was just an elusive target without almost no input. I didn’t like the fight at all just because at certain point it was a sort of street fight. It didn’t make any good for Parker’s actual record.
