    Tyson and Hughie are extremely comfortable in a ring as they've been boxing since they were bambinos. Granted they're still very slick and agile for men of their dimensions, though. These late starters like Donkey, AJ, Whyte, Miller, Breazeale (I've just listed half of the top ten there ie. bum era), most of whom have transitioned from other sports just aren't very skillful. They're just huge guys. Lucas Browne is another. AJ is the most skillful of all of the late starters but I'm not overly impressed.

    Are people joking about Parker winning there? It was closer than the cards, but don't you always expect that with home fighters?

    But I'm sorry, although relatively close, it was still an unimpressive, but comfortable win for AJ.

    I had it 116-112

    It's hard to tell init :D

    AJ won that fight comfortably, but I would like to see a rematch sometime down the road, preferably with a competent ref next time.

    Not sure I'd be scrambling to see it again mate, I'd watch it but not one of the list topping fights I'd be calling for them both to take.

    Agreed on the ref, didn't make things easy for Parker at all, how you supposed to beat a rangier fighter if inside fighting is disallowed?

    funny you say that. I thought the exact same thing about Parker tonight. If he really wanted to get Joshua exhausted, he needed to pressure him more, throw more shots.. half the fight they were both resting.
