Just re-watched round 6 of the fight. How much more overtly corrupt can we get?

    Will Mr Humble insist on referees who deduct points for any opponent who lands flush?

    what happened I cant remember ? sure there wasn't a clash of heads ?
    Cash cow favoritism is definitely a thing in boxing though

    That and a time out.
    Oh and don’t forget the tape on the gloves,I’m not sure it would have made any difference to the outcome of the fight but it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
    I’m fast going off Joshua with his A side BS

    I think I know the moment. Parker landed the best left hook he'd thrown all fight and the ref pulls them up about a head clash?

    That ref did Parker zero favours, much like the one-eyed judges. The hand wrap nonsense was just blatant skulduggery to buy time and hinder Parker.

    Watch it back. I found some good amateur footage on YT, much better than sky's "cinematic" smokescreen mirrors footage.

    It's like when you trained at sport as a kid and had to go easy on the coach's son.
