and again, i dont see how throwing and missing is any worse than not landing because you dont throw. one can easily argue that it was parkers greater work rate that made hughie so negative and focused on defense. best defense is a good ofense and all that. why should he get less credit than hughie got for just prancing around? basically that gives fighters an incentive to do f@ck all rather than try to make something of it

parker throwing and missing isnt any worse than hughie not throwing and hence not landing. should've given each of them losses for that sh!t show

I scored Hughie wide, but I totally get why he lost.

He shoulda won clearly, tho'...
1 - Effective aggression - zero from both
2 - Ring Generalship and defence - it was Hughie "Shades of Ali" by a MILE.

Baby Fury is kind of like a gigantic, much lesser skilled Rigo. You can’t get away with just not getting hit. You will lose. You can have a good career, but if you want to make a mark you must win fights. The way that you win fights is by winning rounds. You don’t win rounds by just avoiding punches. He must land meaningful shots.

Parker is a bit of an enigma. He seems to have reached his level, which means that he is ripe for upset if he is not on his game tomorrow night.

I agree that Baby Fury has not reached his potential. I I am not convinced that he ever will.

You swines are actually going to force me to watch Parker-Hughie again, aren't you?

boxing is very subjective
