Round 6 - Williams' corner throws out some token platitudes as their fighter takes the centre of the ring again, slightly reluctantly. Parker continues to show good restraint, tagging away to the body. Two big uppercuts to the body and Tank doubles over, clinching away the pain. Tank unleashes three overhand rights and at least one of those was felt by Parker. A much closer round as Williams finally did some damage, not sure it was quite enough to score it for him.

 

round8- Parker measuring with the jab and throwing the overhand right with good success, just seems a matter of time until one of those lands on the button. The nuggety Williams yet unmoved, at least visibly. Parker feinting more, trying to get Tank to drop into uppercut range. Big one-two to the dome of Williams set up by the double jab, lightning quick hands. And another round in the book for the Kiwi.

Round 7 - Williams seems buoyed by his late success in the previous round, Parker should be careful not to stand in the pocket in with him. A lot more clinching as both fighters seem to have fatigued, but Parker digs a couple more in and gets some bounce back in his step. Back to the gameplan for Parker, some smart boxing sees him win that one.

Round 9 - Focus the key now in these later rounds as the lag sets in. neither fight cut or dropped as yet. Parker uses his footwork well and corners Tank, throwing ruthlessly to the body as Williams bails out with the clinch. He is feeling those shots, some serious accumulation. Tank is really starting to blow now, each Parker shot sucking more life out of him as they continue to come thick and fast. The clinch is Tank's saviour at the moment. Yep, 10-9 Parker.

Parker flashes high and low as he tries to finish strong, Tank is thinking the same but the gas tank is considerably less.
