That was crap. Parker spent most of the fight on the back foot but it was clearly a game plan and as far as I could see he was the more aggressive and successful fighter in most rounds.
That referee is boxing's Steve Mazzagatti, get involved when he shouldn't and stand elsewhere when he should get involved. Hopefully I never see him again.
Is Joshua really that good?
He is good. Definitely the best in the world right now at heavyweight. Its him and wilder as number 2. I think it was froch who made a great point. Wilder has nothing to worry about based on that performance from AJ. He has his flaws.

He's not, and you'll find me saying as much earlier in the thread. The hype says he's Lennox Lewis with a more marketable face, but he got to the game too late to be truly world class.
Have that same fight in Australia tonight and Parker wins by the same margin.
I always get caught by the hype and watch the match, but I'm yet to see an exciting boxing match.
That one was probably the boring-est yet.
Why would they have it in Australia...?Originally Posted by John
I assumed he was like Mark Hunt and his big fights were held in the larger neighbouring country for the sake of gate receipts. Is that not the case?
Google Carl Froch v Mikkel Kessler. They've fought twice and both are terrific. Those sorts of fights are why people get caught in the hype despite being stung again and again.
I admit I had to check, but no, it doesn't seem like it.

Jeff Horn got his name in New Zealand.
He is will be knocked out in his next fight though.
Yeah, crawford is special and I suspect its not going to end well for horn.
You scored the fight to Parker by a long way?
I can see an argument for it being close but a similar margin the other way is ridiculous.
No, and I don't see how my post would suggest I had. I was saying the fight was close and could have gone either way, and that the margin was down to home crowd judging.
From your other post where you said he was more aggressive and successful in most rounds.
The scores looked a little too wide but I think Joshua was edging most rounds and dictating the fight. The widest score was from the NZ judge and Parker admitted himself he lost.
It was almost a Klitschko style performance from AJ. The size difference was a bit much, it'll be interesting to see how he deals with Fury or Wilder.
Apparently Canelo v GGG 2 is off. So sayeth a man on Twitter.
And the Mirror. The drugs don't work.
Anyone watching Haye Bellew? Theyre ringing walking now.
Im excited to hear Hayes excuse this time out.
Hoping Haye goes wobbly again.
Why is Haye wearing comically large shorts?
I was not disappointed
Im broke laaa couldnt be more scouse
Glad he won, cant be doing with Haye.
He should've packed it in after Klitschko. Nowt worse than a boxer hanging around like that.
What a shambles David Haye is.
I'm a twit
I reckon he was injures before the first bell. He just didnt look right at all.
He’s always injured before the fight when he loses.
"I couldn't push off during the fight. All of my stopping power is in the little toe on my weaker foot."
He's chronically injured. Shame as he was a good boxer.
If you are always injured, then you really need to hang it up. At this point, haye is like butterbean. Four round fighter then his body just fails. Pretty embarassing if you ask me.
Eurovision:
Cyprus @ 10.0
Czech Republic @ 16.5
Sweden @ 30.0
Top Balkan:
Croatia @ 20.0 (12.0+ fine)
Semi Final 1:
Azerbaijan to qualify at 2.3
Semi Final 2:
Russia to not qualify at 2.0
The Russia one is risky just because they'll probably buy their way through, but it's one of the worst entries ever so it seems a steal.
Cyprus actually has a chance?
I might have entered the wrong thread here.
And yes, there is plenty to

I reckon she could knockout a Russian.
Barely anything to do with boxing but it's a fucking great read:

He's on Second Captains this week, I need subtitles for this podcast.
Is this Tyson's younger brother?
Cousin.
So I was right then.
Lamachenko vs Linares is on Box Nation for anyone who is up (free to all those with BT Sport subscriptions).
3 weight world champ now. Loma is a special talent. He carries on like this, we will sitting at the table with the rest of the boxing gods.
I caught Horn spawing with a local champ at me Greek box fit/ serious boxing club.
Not in anyway qualified to judge him because Im beer fit.
Crawford will take his title soon.
Stevenson vs Jack this weekend. Should be a good one. Stevenson has been a champ for a long time now. The kovalev fight didnt happen and ward took his soul. Im going with Jack as he has looked good the past few fights.
Selby is fighting as well.
Welsh Mayweather
Yeah can't see past Selby.
Clashing trunks ffs lads.
Great opening two rounds.
Warrington is fucking going for it.
Jesus Christ. Did not expect that.
