    That's definitely in my Top 3, probably alongside, SSR-JFE and Usyk-Briedis.

    Parker vs whyte and its not close...A HW fight with multiple knock downs which was a nail biter till the bell where a knock down took place with the guy who needed one to win but came up short.

    Incorrect opinion.

    This was a high stakes fight that was eagerly anticipated and it delivered. The fight had sustained action at a high level of skill. Many of the twelve rounds were extremely difficult to score.
    Easily an A- fight, qualifying as pretty close to great, if not indeed, great.

    I really hope they do it again. The last two fights were so evenly contended and both are still p4p material. This could be an era defining rivalry like Pac/Marquez, Marquez/Vazquez, or Barrera/Morales. We haven't really had one at middleweight in a while, and there's something fun and special about trilogies.

    Your just another troll mod on here who scored an absurd GGG fight just the other day so whos actually taking seriously on here...you couldn't even get the first round scored correctly ?

    O.k back to the subject...

    The whyte fight was anything but a hug fest ..the fact you called it that shows how your ignorance knows no boundaries so actually discussing boxing with you is almost non void and tedious ALL the time which why I ignore your dumb posts...lol

    Whyte had knock downs in it...the Martin fight didn't and less power shots were landed. Great fight but not better ,

    I liked Whyte vs Parker too, that whole Matchroom card was probably card of the year, Martin vs Kownacki was just more of a battle of attrition IMO.

    Battle of attrition would be getting off the deck by both guys .particularly whyte to survive rnd 12...added a very high punch count.

    Martin didn't exactly fight much until rnd 6 where Parker and whyte went at it for 12.

    You shouldn't be a mod period...your agenda driven and know a lot only when it suits you and attack other posters who contribute to the site....the site itself really needs revamping .
