What fight were people watching? Parker wasn't even close to winning.

    Floyd wins a boring 12 round fight and it’s a masterclass,AJ goes 12 rounds,takes no punishment and he’s a load of crap lol

    LOL you don't understand Samoan. I had the audio translated by a Google app: she was saying some very bad things about Elizabeth II's underwear.

    FFS comparing an excellent boxer and a robot. Do you have a hangover after drinking all that cheap bear in Wales?

    Yeah it wasn't close at all. I gave Parker 3 rounds, he didn't really do much at all until the 5th or 6th round he just kept on flicking out a jab that kept on falling short and didn't do much else for much of the fight.

    Joshua was landing jabs and body shots with the odd left hook thrown in for good measure, it wasn't a thrilling performance from AJ but a methodical and decisive one.

    I was really impressed with Parker more so than AJ and I had picked AJ by late TKO.
    Parker did not earn a win but the rounds were WAY closer than the cards showed IMO. It was a great battle of ring IQ

    Close rounds don't indicate a close fight. The fight itself does. Boxing's about math..... Adding rounds that were won, forcing an opponent to win more rounds when you are leading.

    Joshua will be a handful for anyone. You need to either keep up with him, or knock him out. This will prove difficult, he's about 85% of the finished article, good enough right now to stay undefeated for a long time.

    Robots don't throw uppercuts and bodyshots as you need a degree of fluidity to throw those shots. Robots are 1-2 merchants without any angles.

    I see your point and yeah it is based on scores rounds
    I think Parker was at 110% where as AJ for some reason (perhaps that double jab and lateral movement) was at about 75% of the “Real” AJ.
    Again I saw a clear win for AJ who was not on his top game but still a good fight and closer than the cards reflected
    Thanks

    i thought it would be a different fight

    parker fought in a new style for the first time ever and while it frustrated AJ and meant the fight was quiet and technical with little excitment/
    it was the right fight for parker to avoid counters and power shots but it wass the wrong fight to actually win the fight.

    his jab in previous fights is fast but flicked and light and he had the fottspeed in this fight but not the length

    parker reminded me of the way haye fought klitchko
    to cautious to get the win.
    circling continuesly on the permiter
    shua saw parkers shots coming and blocked them with only the body shots scoring with parkers right hand

    at the same time all the leg and head movement from parker stopped joshua from teeing off

    so way better defense from parker than i have ever seen but way worse offense was the price he paid .

    joshua was playing percentages / using height and reach to edge rounds but not throwing a right at a target he did not think he could hit and joshua was not willing to walk through parker / playing it safe behind high guard willing just to nick rounds without taking chances

    all in all made for a dissapointing fight for me / no real excitment / thrills /that you expect from heavies and especially from a fight of this crowd and significance.

    That's not the definition of a robot. Robot is a fighter that is not natural, but mechanical, just marches forward and throws punches without any creativity. Joshua is a robot period.

    AJ dominated him. Parker got outclassed.
    He was lucky to win the few rounds that he did. One of the worst jabs i have seen.
