Dereck Chisora has my respect - I think he was treat badly last night.

    Did Chisora get a complimentary beef burger after the fight? If not that's well out of order! He looked skinniest I seen in a long time in there.

    Chisora is the most robbed guy in the sport. He should have wins over Helenius, Whyte, and now Parker.

    Calling this one a "robbery" is a bit much though. I had Chisora winning a narrow decision 114-113, based on that KD, but some of the rounds immediately after that were close and could have gone to Parker. This is a close fight that, in my view, would have been a draw without the KD. That's NOT a "robbery" - a term that is used far two loosely by modern boxing fans as I see it.

    Solid viewpoint.
    I missed following the fight due to dealing with 'other' issues.
    Anyway I've been supportive of Parker, thinking he can become a legit top 10 or even top 5 HW. But he joins Ruiz in having a disappointing win lately. Both Parker & Ruiz are still relatively young for current era HWs. Will any of them get back to near the top?

    .

    Almost the entirety of the boxing community thinks Chisora won, and he indeed landed more punches, which is the most important criteria of who won a fight.

    Besides, you are a socialist and your judgement is suspect in the first place.

    I can take the idea that a better boxer can win a fight despite having lesser output if he lands more punches of quality far more often.

    E.G. Chisora vs Usyk - Usyk was getting beat up for a while, but he clearly landed the better shots frequnetly. E.G. Katie Taylor vs Persoon.

    But this wasn't one of those fights. Parker didn't outbox Chisora frequently, and his moments of quality weren't frequent enough.

    116-111 is a disgrace of an interpretation. No way was Parker that dominant. Too many periods of his time were unproductive, he got knocked down, and he had no defence. Lucky he has a good chin.

    If Parker fights someone like Wilder, Fury or AJ he'll get obliterated.

    No, 7-5 Parker isn't a draw with the KD.
    it's 114-113 win for Parker.

    I'm surprised so many think Chisora was robbed.
    It was a close fight but there wasn't 6 clear rounds to Chisora there.

    I had Parker winning 7 rounds. I'll have to look again.

    He had his PPV headliner night, he can just go away now.

    The difference is also that Usyk clearly took over after the first 5 rounds. Usyk himself wasn't happy with that performance and rated it 3/10.

    Oh yeah, Whyte, forgot.

    Even better for him, nice work if you can get it, he has earned a fair old wad of money then.


    Anyway he can go away now, he is irrelevant, seen this crap from him too many times now.

    I had Parker winning rounds 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
    I had Chisora winning rounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 12

    The 8th was a close round, I think, but so was the 4th.
