The third judge's tally, 114-114, was probably a fairer reflection of the bout but that means absolutely nothing on Sunday morning as Fury ponders what might have been whilst examining the one defeat on his previously unblemished professional record.
"I thought I’d done enough to win, but I’m not a judge," the 23-year-old said after the fight.
But while Hughie was contemplative in defeat, his more vocal cousin Tyson couldn't contain his frustration as he confronted British Boxing Board of Control boss Robert Smith in the ring.

His cousin's loss was not Tyson's only bone to pick with Smith as it's altogether likely that he mentioned the fact that his ongoing dispute over his still-revoked boxing licence has yet to come close to resolution.
Meanwhile, Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy remains in utter shock about the result.
"I thought he skated it, it was an absolute masterclass, shades of Ali. It was beautiful boxing in the heavyweight division," Hennessey told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Parker wasn't even in the fight, any punches he was throwing were either missing or hitting elbows or hitting gloves, it was very rare he got through with a clean shot. Hughie absolutely skated that fight.
"That is probably one of, if not the worst, decisions I've ever seen in my life, it was disgusting, absolutely disgusting."Explore more on these topics:
