The atmosphere was terrible for the first 5 rounds of the Joshua fight - I could literally hear a pin drop ****in DAZN, that was inexusable!
Queensbury have released a ringside video on their YouTube of the Joshua v Wallin fight. It was like one of the fights during covid where you could hear people talking in the background.
It was a very enjoyable card, Rummy. I remember a similar type of card put on by Don King about twenty years ago which featured Cory Spinks v Ricardo Mayorga BHop v William Joppy Zab Juda v somebody ? Travis Simms v somebody ? John Ruiz v Hasim Raman and a couple of other fights. I'd like to see more cards that featured more than one big fight, and in multiple weight divisions. Happy New Year !
Parker never coasted. He was constantly looking for quick smashing rights That's one of the reasons Wilder looked so uncomfortable and gun-shy
I sort of recall that card, Don King actually often put together some good ones, dare I say "stacked" (especially in a more modern context). I have not seen Spinks-Mayorga since it happened, but I recall believing Mayorga had a strong case in that one. And I don't think Mayorga was ever quite as determined and dedicated after that loss.
I 100% stand by what I stated. "Parker completely neutralized that right hand, and otherwise coasted by being consistent and almost always having a positional advantage."
I guess I just don't like the word "coasted", my friend All fight Parker looked like a sprung coil, ready to pounce on Wilder with heavy shots in a split second He was like a panther stalking his prey.
Yes, the judges were, IMO, biased against the 'bad boy.' Ref too, he took a point or two that would have changed the result.
