Comments Thread For: Parker: Chisora Fight Was Close, It Could Have Gone Either Way

[BlackR0bbb]

Extremely close. No complaint either way. Maybe a payback for Parker getting jobbed vs. Whyte. I've never seen the heavyweight division this sad.

........Why?

It was round the back of the head. Easy in heavyweight and at any weight tbf to get round the back but many ref's wouldn't have given it. I had Chisora for the W nevertheless and it adds substance to a rematch.

I thought it was a draw but couldn't complain if the result went either way but a draw probably would of been the best result. Tbh I don't think Lee is the wring trainer for Parker he looked better under Barry. Lee is trying to change Parker's style at 29 it's to late, Lee should be trying to tighten up his defence not change him i see this ending in tears for Parker.

Del won but it was a close fight, no robbery.

Respect for Parker for telling it how it is. He's defo one of the good guys in boxing.

I'd be happy to see a rematch.

Either way fight

respect to Parker for being honest. Most fighters become delusional and claim they won clearly

definitely plenty of things Parker needs to work on. Bit Chisora’s record doesn’t do him any justice. He was giving Whyte a hard time twice. Given how close Parker/Whyte was, this result isn’t so surprising

I talk **** about Del Boy but he should have a win over Helenius, Whyte and now Parker.

I remember everyone gave Usyk **** for getting caught by Chisora punches and not looking good in the fight.
Look at Parker, a fully sized heavyweight and excellent technical boxer - he was barely surviving and getting pummeled by Chisora.
First 5 rounds. Total domination by Chisora.
Parker did not have the defensive answers and couldn't keep Chisora off him first 3 rounds.
Then Parker adapted and got some offense going with the front arm using the jab and left hook/uppercut at the onrushing Chisora.
Chisora still outlanding Parker from rounds 1 to 5 and throwing the heavier and eye catching punches and excellent body attack.
Only from round 6 Parker starts putting it together. Round 7 even hurting Chisora.
Round 8, Parker showing that he has some power to keep Chisora honest.
Something that Usyk wasn't quite achieveing.
I thought Chisora edged round 10.
Parker took 11.
Round 12 goes to the wire. Could go either way.
Overall being in UK you can make a very strong argument for Chisora winning, even more so than in Usyk fight.

Chisora is better than "gatekeeper" level. You don't just have to work to best him, he gives plenty back too.

I thought Chisora gave it everything, but that Parker was just a bit too good. I had him winning.

This guy is a bum. He is the most passive aggressive HW I have ever seen. He doesn’t bring much to the table, fight after fight you would think he would be a bit mad, nope… he got KD with a shot that most boxers would complain about, did he say anything to the ref? Nope… just took it like a beetch….

He knew he didn’t win the fight, sky sports must have been fed up with Hearn and Chisora because they were saying Parker was ahead on the cards and that he won etc…

If this fight was in New Zealand then Parker would still be on the edge when the scorecard were been read out, for the fight to be in the UK you can see his face that he has lost this one.

What I don’t get is this, why rob Chisora for Parker? It’s not like Parker would amount to anything. So you take a win that Chisora should have got and you gave it to Parker, maybe it helps Sky sports once Hearn leaves them and they retain fighters like Parker or whatever, but no one is going to convince others that Parker won that fight.

It was to the side of the head, temple shot. A few of us said at the time it was a BS call, then changed our opinion when the replay was shown. It was a good KD.
