I think the only people who think Whyte was dominant in that fight must have been listening to Tony Bellew or some other cretin. I thought Parker did enough to get a draw anyway, and that's even with scoring the headbutt knockdown against him as legit. Several British ringsiders scored it even too. Whyte's wrestling, pulling, pushing tactics didn't count for **** from where I was sitting. Parker's performance was patchy but he did at least as much legitimate scoring as Whyte, was treated poorly by the referee and judges and earned a rematch with his late round rally anyway. This was a very dubious win from Whyte, and the one that "legitimised" his high ranking in the first place. It's ridiculous that a rematch wasn't agreed straight away. In fact it was point blank refused by Whyte in the immediate aftermath.
He seemed to be hitting a lot harder than in previous fights. I voted for Parker by KO on that basis alone.
Yes he has. His new trainer is getting the best of him. He looked much better against Chisora this time.
Parker should have defeated Whyte when he had the chance. He's the better fighter and maybe a bit unlucky with the scoring of that fight but he should have knocked Whyte out. Parker is overrated but shouldn't have allowed the fight to be close like that. He showed in round 12 he had the goods to stop Whyte.
