Higgins and DUCO to appeal Dillian Whyte loss, produce 4 minute video evidence

Higgins and Duco are pure amateurs, embarrassing.

 

It's the promotional team's job to preserve the fighter's credibility and marketability. Not everyone will have seen the fight, and creating a stink is often a worthwhile damage limitation exercise as long as you don't whine too much.

An appeal is going too far though. As well as having 0% prospect of success, it can sacrifice any goodwill built up from being on the wrong end of some dodgy home cooking.

In all sports, and indeed all walks of life, a warning has to mean something. ie if you do x again, there will be consequences. Whyte continued to make the same fouls, and rather than applying any punishment, IJL just issued the same ineffective warnings again and again. It would actually have been the lesser of two evils if he had just ignored the fouls, as that would have been a clear message that he was not going to break the action, the fighters had to work their way out of clinches etc, and he was going to take a liberal stance with any rough-housing. At least then Parker could work within those parameters.

For the same reasons, when Amir Khan was deducted points against Peterson for repeated (minor) infractions, he didn't have a leg to stand on. If the ref tells you to stop doing something, and you keep on doing it, point deductions are your problem. If the ref warns and then doesn't follow through, that's poor refereeing.

You'd expect a world-level heavyweight to deal with the fouls better, but first and foremost the ref should be held accountable for his errors and ineffective management of the fight.

 

Hearn is a complete women’s private parts to me and Whyte is the most over rated HW out there. Check my previous posts out on Whyte I am on Record here many times. Whyte lost to Chisora via UD.

My prediction on the fight of Parker losing the UD to Whyte was based on him being overly passive and too predictable. He proved that on fight night.

It’s also the reason he lost to AJ.

End of.

 

Whyte needed a terribly incompetent referee to get the win against an overly passive and too predictable Parker, that's my point.

Whyte couldn't have inflicted as much damage or scored as many points if the refereeing had been on the level.
In fact, the refereeing wouldn't have even had to be on the level for Parker to emerge victorious. Slightly less incompetent, slightly more astute refereeing would have been enough. Whyte was given carte blanche to foul and still almost got himself beat.

End of.

 

More confused what Parker as doing, it was obvious what Whyte was going to do, it took Parker 11 round to even look alive and when he actually boxed a bit the last two rounds he looked like he could win it

 

Just as an aside, we’ve seen Whyte take some absolute bombs and stay upright. Helenius, Chisora & Parker have all landed big shots on him. Just shows the power AJ has.

 

Agreed but if you’ve got a proven terrible referee and somebody else is making their own rules you ****ing do it back twice as bad. Simple. Same in any sport. Never call anyone a ***** in this sport but to moan about tactics like that without even trying to do it back is rather pussyish.

 

To be fair, I think it was mostly from exhaustion.

 

And Parker knocked him down and almost finished him off.

Last weekend showed how overrated his power is. Couldn't put a dent in Parker and barely stopped Takam courtesy of the ref stepping in and waving it off prematurely.

Dillian Whyte is the only opponent he knocked out completely and that was from exhaustion and Dillon being out of shape. Just like Lucas Browne was knocked out unconscious by Whyte more so being due to exhaustion and coming to the fight out of shape then the idea that Whyte has frightening power.

 

I get what you’re saying mate and you’re probably right...but what I will add is that Whyte was much easier to land sweet on in his fight with AJ, than Takam and Parker who fought very defensive (clever) fights. AJ seemed to be more offensive in that fight too. His last few fights have been fought with a lot of caution.

 

I am surprised at this considering gracious in defeat Patker and Higgins were in their post fight interviews. Dissapointing news if true.

 

Nowhere near as bad as the American referee for Ward Kovalev.

Now that was appalling corruption American style.

Never before or since seen a guy beaten up through punches to the nuts and then stopped on a shot to the nuts.

 

Browne also came into the fight having been knocked out in sparring in north London only 7 days before the fight. By British boxing rules he was medically unfit to fight due to that. It explains how he has out cold before he hit the canvas.

 

***** right off team Parker
against joshu a they complained at not being able to get inside close enough to exchange and make a war of it
Now we were in a dog fight and our teeth weren't big enough blah blah blah
Theses ossies coming off bitter salty and a set of bad fhooking losers that say they want a fight but complain when they get one

Wonder what team Parker made of horns win lol

 

How can they prove Parker fading in the middle rounds was due to a headclash and not due to a punch or a lack of conditioning?
