At the end of the day, the ref stopped the fight without Parker getting dropped to favour the hometown guy in a result that led to an email belt for Fabby.
Not fücking good enough. The cöke is irrelevant.
It's not irrelevant if your guy is not fighting at his best. If you look at the last round, Parker wasn't fighting back, and he wasn't really defending himself. Parker didn't hold in this fight, and that was his issue. He held in the Zhang and Wilder fights as part of his defense. He didn't do that in this fight. We was hurt in the 105h and finished in the 11th. When a man is not defending himself, you have to stop the fight. Parker was getting hit with enough big shots to stop the fight, and he looked out on his feet.
Don't see why not. He's not banned as far as i know and the marching powder ain't performance enhancing.
I think it's more Fabby has dropped nuts and doesn't back himself to drop or stop Parker for a legit win.
At the end of the day, Parker wasn't in proper shape to win and was gassed very early in the fight, and he was buzzed several times. I was a Parker fan going into that fight, but it was a big letdown, especially after testing positive for coke. He was prepared for the fight, and he lost. Say what you want about Fabio. but he kept coming and trying, and he has a lot of heart. I would take that over a cokehead any day.
Wardley wasn't in much better shape. He'd punched himself out and still couldn't drop Parker.
We were denied a legitimate finish to a meaningful contest when the home cooked ref stopped the fight early.
And now we have Fabby poncing around like he straight up won a belt, too chickenshït to even mention Parker's name or return the favour with a rematch to remove any doubt of his *win.
I don't even think Parker would be eligible for a rematch, mate.
The Mighty Oilskin Parker seems to have been the last of the heavies not content to sit back and wait Usyk out when he decided to give Fabby a shot.
Shame he got dïcked by Weirdley, fisheyes and a home cooked ref. Disgusting!
That wasn't home-cooking. Parker was done. He wasn't in the best shape, and the coke habit didn't help.
To be fair, everyone at the top is just sitting around and waiting for the perfect fight. There Even Agit is waiting. I give Wardley lots of props for trying to hone his craft. It's a shame that the alphabet boys are letting these guys hold the belts hostage. Guys like Usyk, Fury and Joshua are strictly prize-fighters now who only care about money instead of glory. The younger guys have been waiting for years for a shot, only to get passed by old kickboxers. It's really a shame what the heavyweight division has come to.
Miller is such a good, likeable talker. After all is said and done, I hope he is offered a commentating job. He seems very fun to be around, and I can see him having some Charles Barkley -like moments. I'd love to see it.
Jesus Ramos Jnr won an interim middleweight title in December but doesn't want to be upgraded. He would rather face and defeat primary titlist Carlos Adames.

Ramos is pretty good, but I don't think he's beat Adames.
I wouldn't be surprised if Magsayo stops the bigger McCrory.
McCrory doesn't look any bigger than Magsuayo.
Doesn't. Just saying that Mark has traditionally been fighting at a lighter weight. He has filled out nicely.
When you see a guy go down the fashion Fuller did, it's always a relief to see them move again. He was out cold on his feet and didn't land well.
Missed the KO. Was talking to a coworker. Lol. Guess I have to watch the KO later.
Hersch clearly the winner.
What Merriwether was doing standing on the ropes only he would know.
Hope the judges down stitch Hirsch up here.
I think young guys need to come in hungry, and also study tape. You need to know your opponent. Gotta scout these guys. Especially undefeated guys. You never know what you are going to get.
