    Unreal. ****ing embarrassment. Drop a 40yo man 3 times and he sees the cards. WTF

    He was on his way. His corner basically told him not to push so hard.

    Chisora was smart each time, retreating into a corner and making it difficult to land clean. I give Parker a high mark for his display.

    When Parker did try to throw everything at it to finish him, he started to get hit with big punches himself

    Best version of Parker we have seen for years. Andy lee is having some effect.

    It was basically the uppercut that destroyed Chisora, walking forward and ducking. The left hook he could see in the corner had less effect however

    Marvin Hagler ran at Hearns in the 3rd round and sent him to sleep. Parker allowed chisora to walk slowly to the corner. I don't think many would have in that situation. Fighters with Killer instincts know when it's time to end the fight!

    He is a bad finisher yes, I still believe he beats Whyte in a rematch though

    I agree with that one. The first he should have won already, or at least a draw.

    Parker isn't the best finisher for sure but he's not the worst ever.

    He's not that old and working with Andy Lee should reap some benefits for him moving forward

    I was certain he will finish Chisora's career in 6. Surprised it went the distance.
