Dereck Chisora vs. Joseph Parker & Dmitry Bivol vs. Craig Richards + Taylor vs. Jonas RBR.

I figured it out. One judge gave Parker 8 rounds and another judge gave him 9.

 

As much as Parker was frustrating admiring his cleaner work from round 5 onwards, cries of robbery are nonsense - this was a close fight and depending on what you like I could easily see 116-112 Chisora right swung to 116-112 Parker - obvs with the 10-8 extra point for Chisora.

Parker lander the much cleaner, eye-catching shots from round 5 onwards, but he tended to admire his own work and numerous times let Chisora back into it when he could have pressed.

Delboy on the other hand was the constan agrressor, but was wilder, and his work was not as clean with a lot of his punches being caught on the gloves or the elbows - but he was working the body really well rounds 1-4.

I had it 7-5 parker in rounds, but with the 10-8 scored it 114-113 Parker, but was ok with the cards, although the 116-111 was a bit harsh IMO.

 

Not sure how I feel about that...firstly, apart from the women, what an average night. Not surprised we didn't see much of Hearn cos that product tonight was very poor and I hope he was embarrassed.

I thought Parker was poor. Just short bursts of quality and when he had Chisora hurt he had absolutely nothing in the tank to follow it up.

It's mad int it...we lean towards Taylor in the previous fight for her work rate but in that final fight the work rate is dismissed for the 20-30 seconds of half decent quality. I would have been fine with Chisora nicking it in all honesty or a draw. Fair enough that Parker sneaked a win but I thought he was poor once again. He's building up a few wins where he's just scraping it. I'm not seeing anything from him that sets apart from the rest.

 

You forgot unpunished rabbit punches and low blows. Referees must be afraid of him because they let him wrestle and hit a lot.

 

Haha I'm one of the only ones who scored it for Parker. Don't see what the big deal is myself.

 

But those weren't the scores.

One judge gave Chisora only 4 rounds and another judge gave him just three!

 

You were right, Parker won round 5 onwards.

 

115-113 means 7 to 4 with one even

 

Not a great event that. Matchroom ending their stint on Sky with a whimper.

 

I even gave him the 4th. Thought he finished that round stronger.

 

Parker needs to have a rethink. Dissapointing performance in so many ways.

 

Parker won it clearly. The world forum always has an agenda. You see it from the first couple of rounds in the RBR.

Then it’s followed by the melodramatic meltdown after the decision.

Quite enjoyed the last few RBRs in the British section. I’ll go as far as saying the commentary here was more entertaining than tonight’s card.

 

Seen an Eddie Hearn clip from the other day saying this fight really was the very last change saloon for Chisora. Is it me or has he been saying that for 5 years now?

 

Strange fight I personally had it a draw, at times Parker actually looked the best he had in years from like round 7-11 and his gas tank has improved it seems but he still lacks that dog in him.

he didn’t try to back up chisora enough when chisora got tired for example like usyk and fury did.

he still lacks that fighters instinct he was happy also to take it turns letting chisora get off his work the last round was classic example of that.

 

Anyway I’m a glutton for some punishment so it’s double helpings of Heavyweight pudding for me tonight. Roll on Rice Pudding Jr.
