    I agree,

    I said from the start people are underestimating Parker and they did, Parker is far more intelligent than people give him credit for, he did well all things considered.

    Looking at that scorecards Parker was never getting a decision anyway.

    No way in hell. Wilder would get ****ed by the referee and robbed by the judges.

    I feel like Hearn and "Ant"ony are the rippoff kings of boxing. Throwing the "big show" in the sides of what peple want to see. Who gives a fook if they have more fans , and fought more opposition. Wilder is the Kenny MF Powers. Getcha swerve on, I think we know who skeered. And its ole turtle hands.

    Parker used lateral movement and had Joshua moving foward not really doing much. Both fighters didn't fight at their absolute best, but I felt Parker controlled the pace well and took away Joshuas explosive offense. I could see it a draw, but I don't think Joshua won a clear decision.

    Fury will throw even fewer punches than Parker did and you will try to call the fight ‘exciting’ and a ‘masterclass’. There isn’t a more boring fighter with a low punch output than Fury.

    Parker needed to let his hands go more but it was difficult for him given the reach disadvantage. AJ didn't have to step into the danger zone to land his shots so that kept him out of harm's way for the most part whereas Parker did. As for a AJ vs Donkey fight. Donkey might have the reach to land his shots with more regularity but he's bang average and AJ will likely spark him out.

    Personally, I think AJ showed his stamina is there and evident, he basically jabbed Parker’s face off all night, he’s shown he can box and be tactical. Props to Parker he had a go but as I said pre fight, he’s not got the tools to beat AJ, he looked the same if not worse as when he fought Fury. Joshua ruled the fight, it was a boxing match, can’t say I enjoyed the referee decision to break it up every time they got inside and clinched. All in all I won £30 on it going the distance and AJ is a Unified World Champion. ****ing A !

    Joshua-Wilder is the biggest Heavyweight fight since Tyson-Holyfield!

    Nelson's Column has more lateral movement than Anthony Joshua.

    Too much class and pride in Parker to sink to that level. I really hope he bounces back well from this and gets another title shot in a year or two.

    Parker did a lot better than his last fights.

    I honestly expected him to get beat down and stopped in 6.

    Parker only winning 1 or 2 rounds are terrible but the right man won so who cares.
