A man doesn't have to look like a bodybuilder to be fighting fit, however a body that has been trained to be strong and fit and ready to box at a world championship level generally looks better than Hughie looks here.
Off the top of my head I'd say Calzaghe is an excellent example of a physique that never looked super muscular but he always looked fit and healthy.
I was a little surprised by how Parker looks too. He has big strong, typically 'southern hemisphere' muscular frame but looks a little softer around the edges than I have seen him in the past.
Parker has been training really hard for this one, like he always does.
He never looks super defined, but he also never looks PED'ed up either.

You don't think Parker looks like he is carrying more fat than in his last 4?

Half full arena and its kicking off. More actionn in the crowd than in the ring. Actually a ko now in the ring. But more fights in the crowds. Pathetic it is. No atmosphere at all.

cant help to feel that the the under card didn't help as it seems weak .so you won't get real boxing fans following their man .so that are use to going to fights.

What can i say. 8 better fights outside the ring.

Poor main event, poor card all around. Got towards ringside for the main fight. Tyson Fury is a big bugger when you see him live.

Arena wasnt anywhere near full and lots of travellers supporting Hughie. Bit hostile in places to be honest.
