Parker-Hughie Fury & Linares-Campbell

Two matchups I'm looking forward to this weekend. Fury's first big test so will be interesting to see how he fairs against Parker. Hughie could well pull off the upset here if he sticks to his boxing and uses his head. Parker certainly isn't the best of the titlists.

Could be too early for young Luke Campbell against Linares. He's rated highly in the boxing community in the UK so a lot of people are backing him to cause a big upset.

What do you guys think?

 

Two good bouts and if people complained less, they would realize that boxing is in pretty good shape since fights like this are regular.

I pick Linares with confidence and I agree Fury has a good shot, both should be entertaining scraps

 

Is Fury off the steroids yet?

 

£15 on youtube.

No chance.

 

fury moves very well, but he seems waek and fragile. got the feeling he'll get caught and stopped eventually

 

Good-paced action in the hw bout for the first two rounds but little landed by either. Fury's movement is fluid and he makes it difficult for Parker to time his rushes but Fury has no punch.

My hunch is that Parker will catch him eventually

 

Beat me to it

 

If Hughie had his cousin's jab, he would walk it. As it is, the rounds are difficult to score but Fury looks bit discouraged despite the British commentators

 

parker footwork is ponderous. Makes Tua look fast and agile

 

Fury tried to stop Parker from coming but his power shots had little effect.

 

this is shit :(

 

Parker still can't get close. Fury has intelligent footwork and long reach even though otherwise he isn't very good

 

Parker finally catches Fury good in the 9th but Fury takes it surprisingly well

 

I didn't keep a scorecard but IMO Parker deserves it as Hughie was very negative in the end. Plenty of close rounds in a ho-hum bout

 

114-114 once, 118-110 twice for Parker.

Unlike similar scorecard lately, that wasn't as off-base even though the difference was surprisingly wide. Parker came forward and landed the meaningful shots.

Parker vs Wilder has the fun potential

 

Tyson and Hughie always had brilliant natural movement, for big men or otherwise. Probably a blend of natural athleticism and boxing, literally, since infancy.

I think Campbell has a shot as Linares has been in a lot of hard fights.

 

Fury attempted to win via stink and the judges didn't allow it

 

Apparently his family jumped into the ring and celebrated at the end.

 

It was a borderline Frank Bruno winning the WBC title celebration

 

YOu're a very brave men to have watched this bout in it's entirety. Turned it off after the 8th round

 

Was this fight on in u.s.?

 

Thought hbo was going to show a undercard...Orozco or something. Liars.

 

don't think it was

 

Seems like campbell could be winning this fight. It is def close.

 

Campbell got fucked. Hard.

 

campbell fought well. he is solid

 

What?

I had Linares winning. Campbell fought well but he didn't win that fight.

 

Lol @ Mike's retard ass. Linares won clearly, although Campbell was very competitive.

 

Was not clear at all.

 

Even if you believe so, I don't understand how anyone would think it was a robbery.

 

I would not call it a robbery. But I thought Campbell deserved the nod.
