PARKER RETAINS HIS WBO TITLE

October 29th, 2017 Comments Off on PARKER RETAINS HIS WBO TITLE

Joseph Parker was able to retain his WBO heavyweight title as he fought challenger Hughie Fury.


Parker retained his belt by majority decision, winning 118-110, 114-114, 118-110.

For Fury, he felt he had done enough to get a draw or get the belt off Parker from the fight but he really was on the back foot for most of it.

Fury, 23 and trained by his father Peter, landed some top punches but he also received decent measure in return. He failed in his shot at the world title as the New Zealand fighter retained his title after the Manchester Arena bout. His camp was angered by the results but analysts would say his caution cost him his shot.

In boxing now, there is record scrutiny over fight scorecards, with judges’ every record and named winner per round analysed to the end.
