Joseph Dennis Parker Lupesoliai vs. Uaine Fa, Jr. & David Nyika vs. Jesse Maio RBR.

I never watched Fa before today... Parker was wobbled several times. Parker didnt do anything about the clinches and often went head first. You deserve a ban based on giving the first round to Parker lol. Parkers jab is nothing special, maybe boxing isnt your sport fanny

 

The first round was close you clown. If Fa didn't land that last shot seconds before the bell he's gonna lose that round CLEARLY. Based on that shot you can give that round either to Parker for the 2:45 minutes before or to Fa as he landed the best punch of the round by a mile. I even admitted that Fa might stole the round with that shot. Nevertheless i scored it for Parker because Fa didn't do anything before and Parker landed several clean jabs and a lot of body jabs. You probably do not score body jabs? But saying it was a CLEAR Fa round is just ridiculous. Of course i exaggerated with my statement on Parker but saying that Parker has the best jab of the division is of course based on the fact IF he's really committing to the jab. He was landing plenty of sharp jabs on AJ too. His jab is great. But he's using it not often enough and he has no consistent jab over 10/12 rounds. I agree with that. His game plan was stupid today.

 

Hahaha yeah everyone at the arena love the Ahio v Long fight and when the main event was on, I could hear kids next to me whinging that they wanted to see Julius Long again lol.

 

Do you recall an Italian restaurant in Auckland named Gina's Pizza? She's my cousin.

 

At this stage mate, he's probably more interested in his bank balance than ironing out his boxing.

 

What was even more puzzling was that Fa actually had success in very rare spurts. His jab was landing and his right hand snuck through, yet he stubbornly held back waiting for Parker to dictate the pace of the fight. Either his cardio was dog**** or he was scared to get hit, or he's that thick that it's uncanny.

 

Seems like it has been evident for a while now.
He never seems to go into second gear.

 

Funny fight to score, JP winner IMO. Am I the only one here that thought both guys didn't do ANYTHING??! JP landed a handful of shots as did Fa land jabs you could count on two hands, and right hands that you could count on one hand. JP landed a couple of power shots but did the better body work. JP certainly didn't dominate, but he wasn't allowed to with the hugging. Most of JP's shots missed the mark, against an absolute plodder in Fa is disappointing. Even if he was tied up afterwards, you cant blame Fa for JP's scope being off. JP is heavily on the slide and Fa is limited at best. This is possibly the best FA we'll see. Parker will provide some good entertainment, mainly because he's iron chinned and therefore a challenge for anyone not named T.Fury IMO.

 

What a Gawd awful fight,,, In the 8th round I became bored and decided to count the clinches,,,12, they didn't land that many punches! The friggin referee never said those magic words once,,STOP HOLDING!! I'd have DQ'd Fa before the 8th. May God bless me by never having to watch another boxing card from New Zealand

 

Parker didn't land a lot on his own, yeah, but at least he TRIED to do something. But i agree, Parker looked sloppy and clueless. Not a great performance. He had a few really good rounds early where he landed sharp jabs to the head and body but overall it was super dull and one-dimensional.

 

Think Fa was hoping the judges were counting clinches too... UD by that measure....

 

Hey, Parker has a problem with getting tied up in clinches. You're right, Fa should'a been warned but man Parker's got to find an answer for that sort of shenanigan. I mean, didn't they expect a bit of that? Maybe those T-rex arms were more detrimental than we thought,,,

 

Agreed,,,as Teddy Atlas might say, Fa was holding and Parker was glad of it.
