I did. I more or less gave up after Rd6. But I was watching in a busy pub. I was left with an impression, rather than a firm scorecard. If I'd scored it properly, I'd have probably ended up with 117-111 Joshua, but anywhere from 118 to 115 would seem okay. Parker was shockingly unaware of what he needed to do, especially in the later rounds. On the back foot, his jab never scoring, inside exchanges quickly petering out. I was rooting for Parker but I'm disappointed in both fighters. He must have known he needed the KO after round 8, but he persisted with his edgy, watch-out style and was firmly outpointed. Oh well, at least we have Price hanging on until, what, Rd5 to take away from a forgettable night of boxing. Enjoyed the Burnett fight, even though nobody else did.
It sounded like a close fight. Listening to the Radio coverage I had Joshua on 4 rounds, Parker on 3 and 2 that could have gone either way heading into the final three rounds in which Joshua pulled away. Taking rounds 10, 11 and 12 gave Joshua a clear lead at the end of the fight, but if I'd watched it I might come to a different conclusion.
