waddya know the same exact ref who let wardley wobble all over the ring for 5+ rounds while getting hurt over and over is the guy who stopped wardley-parker when parker was slightly buzzed yet still covering up and slipping punches. the narrative was "what if wardley lands more big punches? gotta think about parkers health" not even that wardley was stringing together those big punches but hey he could have in the future!
yet in wardley-dubois, dubios was literally landing big punches over and over on a defenseless wardley who was incredibly hurt. what happened to the hypotheticals? the real life scenario of someone taking big punches and being hurt happened and yet no stoppage until wardley was almost unable to stand and it was clear he was done. for example wardley was ten times more hurt in rounds 6 and 9 than parker ever was and yet...the fight continued. do people notice these things? or maybe they just dont care. this clown ref did what he knew he was supposed to do either implicitly or explicitly and he was rewarded for it with more big fights.
The ref didn't do Wardley any favour with that.
It was sad seeing Wardley out of his feet since 6th or 7th round.
Maybe the ref desperately tried to give Wardley a chance to win, but man, that was dangerous.
I was rooting for Dubois. But once it was like round 8-9, i stopped cheering and yelling at the TV. It was actually concerning as fuck seeing the punishment he was taking.
I think because Fabio has a reputation of coming back from being outpointed? But so does Parker have a history of getting off of floor and hanging in there.
problem is Fabio future career maybe shortened, or maybe Fabio doesn't believe it will be, as it's only a one off beating

Wardley is known for being an incredibly hard bastard who can come back from beatings and stop his opponents, it's literally his signature.
Parker... Isn't
Parker was laying on the ropes trying to survive, to me, that's a loss, when you get to that point where all you are doing is trying to see the final bell, you aren't fighting and that's the time for you to get stopped.
It's called fighting, not surviving.
Parker was moving and returning a couple of shots. He was indeed hurt, slow, wobbled, but reacted adequately. Wardley was surviving on the ropes for most of the last 4 rounds, more exhausted. So one was stopped immediately, the other was given 4 rounds, being in worse condition.

If there weren't so may "rest breaks" that the ref gave to Wardley I wouldn't look quite as shady as it did allowing Wardley to get almost pummeled to an unconscious pulp. Something was "off" with that ref.
Perhaps he’s changed his views on stoppages after all the pressure of being told he stops them
early? Or perhaps Wardley and his trainer warned him not to get back to his early stoppage habits.
Either way, the guy can’t win. Each fight should be stopped based in its own situations- and doctors were ringside and could’ve had a voice
howard foster can let fights go if he likes
rewatch warrington v lara I one of the early rounds warrington was all over the place dropped but made it to the end of the round
thank you that feels nice to hear
you really think thats what happened? we can go back in this referee's career and find times before the parker fight where he let certain fighters take huge beatings and others where he jumps in instantly so he changed the way he officiated in the parker fight and then changed it again after it? thats crazy bad luck for parker.

Howard Foster prematurely stopped Froch - Groves 1. What was the lizard people's agenda on that occasion?
froch was the bigger star obviously and he saw an opportunity to give him a win. literally the same thing as wardley-parker and more evidence in my favor. thank you for steelmanning

No, what really happened was that Jeffrey Epstein influenced Howard Foster from beyond the grave.
Epstein doesn't melt steel beams.
No, you're literally the only person on earth who noticed, special individual that you are.
Perhaps the referee listened to the criticism and responded as fans apparently wanted him to?

The level of quality and knowledge in all judges and referees is pathetic, and it has been so for years. Good observation, but nobody does anything against it - nor fighters, managers, fans, even.
the corruption is so brazen just like american politics. they are one step away from saying "yeah we are corrupt and what are you going to do about it? nothing thats what i thought." they know they can do whatever they want and they are doing it. the whole reason for stopping the parker fight was based on "what if wardley lands some more big punches and hurts parker" well dubios literally was landing big punches and hurting wardley and we saw what the ref did...nothing! yet he didnt even let parker get to the point wardley was in because hes a corrupt pos. and if it wasnt him it would be someone else in there making sure fights go a certain way, hes replacable. hes essentially an npc but coded for corruption.

yes yes yes
u speak the truth
something does not seem right
parker got no leeway from the corrupt one but wardley got lots
corruption at play
refs and officials know how to play the game
