Parker vs Hughie Fury

[diehard]

Big ups for KB getting Parker this far. If you all will remember, he was a disappointing amateur at the end of his amateur career. KB picked him up and turned him into a guy who won a title. But here we are. Parker has had two average performances against two contenders. This is a defining fight for Parker and KB to see if Joe can improve enough against Hughie to have a good chance against the AJ's, Wilders, Povetkin's, Ortiz's, and the Tyson Fury's of the division. I think he can. But it's gonna take some major overall in his game and he's gonna need to fight like his life depends on it.

BTW, I think KB has too much influence on Parker, and didn't have enough on Tua. Tua arrives to camp against LL weighing 280 pounds. He balooned up hugely after he left Lou Duva. If he had stayed with Duva, he would have won a belt.
