    Tonight in the AJ -Parker fight

    I've never seen a ref keep such control of the action, as he made sure the boxers were safe, and had frequent dialog with them.

    I hope we see this meatball in future title fights

    A total of 4 title bouts under his belt and he gets to referee a heavyweight unification bout with one of the sports biggest stars. And the one moment where Parker looked to have Aj in just a bit of trouble along comes mr referee I never heard of to have a pointless lecture for 30 seconds.
    No thanks throw this bum back in the sea

    he was just there to help out matchroom and serve up a Brit stoppage if Femi landed anything.

    Heard Parker's team picked the ref and the judges.

    Always let a footlong piece of loose tape on AJ's glove, snap like a whip into Parker's face
    for 4 rounds, while AJ uppercuts Parker on the breaks.

    They needed David Fields as ref, he did a great job with AJ/Klit and Wilder/Ortiz.

    This. Parker did well to never get rocked. If his knees wobbled even a little the ref would've stopped it.

    Bad look for Matchroom to have this extremely inexperienced ref in this fight
    The fix was in

    That's speculation from someone who wants AJ to lose. Do you care who beats AJ, or is it just as long as he loses you don't care who does has the honor?

    That ref was just there to protect Joshua from Parker's inside game, he still outlanded Joshua with power shots.

    Bad ref, bad judges, that helped out Joshua. I mean team Parker have nothing to complain about, right? Joshua didn't land one right hand but won by 10 rounds on one morons card.

    I actually though that breakup was more favorable to Parker than Joshua as Joshua was in the midst of unloading an uppercut before the ref intervened.
