Why isn’t Team Parker complaining about the headbutt KD?

    They are overly gentlemanly. Too nice. Too "don't complain about anything, be modest at all costs." Which may be better than the other way. At least it doesn't come off as annoying.

    I re-watched and scored the fight yesterday, without all the emotion and frustration of watching it live as a Parker fan, wanting and expecting him to do more.

    I scored it 6-6, 113-113, with round 2 a 10-9 to Parker as it should have been.

    This is the same as the middle of the 3 judge's scorecards, if you discount the BS knock down.

    So basically imo the judges had it right. It was a draw but they scored it on average 3 points to Whyte because of the 3 point swing in round 2.

    It's not so much that Team Parker should be complaining about the refereeing imo. They should just be pointing out very clearly that they were unlucky and that really the fight was a draw with a bad (but understandable) refereeing call. No need for whining or hysteria. Just state the facts.

    I don't understand why they would "admit" that Whyte was the better man when actually, even the judges really had it as a draw.
