Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Rocks, Shocks Deontay Wilder For Decision Win, Derails Joshua Fight

Wacky Wilder against legit top 10 opponents - beat past prime Ortiz/clear one-sided loss to Parker/1 gift draw and 2 beatdowns to Fat Man Fury. Rest of sad resume full of nothing but tomatoes and cherries.

Joshua did make Parker look ordinary. I'm not dis*****g Fury clearly beat Wallin. But it did almost backfire because of the cut which was a by a legitimate punch. And I didn't watch the Ngannou fight. Only the delusional would watch that farce. But the majority of opinions out there seem to say that Ngannou probably won that. And he did come close to stopping him.

Not really, Joshua was massively aided by the Ref and denying that is quite frankly a joke, Wallin did cut Fury but it was extremely clean and with his poking and prodding the ring side doctor still seen fit to allow it to continue.

As for Ngannou, who cares about most people's opinion, most people shoot off at the mouth right after the fight never rewatching it and analysing in slow mo and without commentary.

And just getting caught up in the fact Fury looked Mediocre and Ngannou performed better than expected.

Despite that fact people still insist Ngannou won even though he landed 40% of his punches in rounds 3 and 8 and 50% of his total punches landed to the body.

Fury outlanded him by 20% and only landed 20% of his punches to the body overall and we know judges in pro boxing at least generally don't regard body shots as highly.

Wilder is finished. As if 3 losses to Fury wasn't enough to convince you.

Parker did his job, and wilder just doesn't have it anymore.
He should just retire. It isn't like he hasn't made enough cashish to last the rest of his years.
That is... unless he spends like a drunken sailor.

Parker fought a great fight. If you want to beat Wilder, you must close the distance and don`t be afraid to trade.

If that was Fury`s advice, it was the right one.

Ha-haha. Just got home from he pub and saw the result. Merry Christmas Mr Parker

Called it weeks ago. Parker is a good boxer and Wilder has no skills, none. Wilder has one shot in any fight and if it he can't land it, he is lost.

Cong**** to Parker. I don't think he beats Joshua in a rematch, but Wilder is possibly the most annoying and overrated fighter (fought 90% garbage comp) of the last decade. Hopefully he goes away.

Wilder is finished, this is what happens when that power doesn’t do what it usually do. You don’t work on your craft and skills as all you’ve ever needed was that one shot to end it. Now at the top level when that one shot isn’t ending anything, well we get this. Parker? Big props to Parker he came to win and was well aware that all you need to do is avoid the right from Deontay and the rest is a walk in the park. Joshua vs Parker next in march for interim winner gets winner of Fury vs Usyk for all the marbles

No it doesn't people have been overcoming even bigger weight disparities for far longer than Wilder has been boxing in fact Wilder has overcome weight disparities north of 100 pound when the opponent is lackluster he's fine, the issue is he can't do anything against people who have a modicum of skill.

Look, let me give you a math example using Wilder (214), Parker's weight (250) and a Welterweight (147) so you can see for yourself.

250/214 = 147/X

147 × 214 = 31,458

31,458 ÷ 250 = 125.832

X = 125.832 (Featherweight)

So in essence, it's the same as a Featherweight (Wilder - 214 lbs) fighting a Welterweight (Parker - 250 lbs).

Wilder lost because the level of his opponent was increased. His sloppy right hand strategy was exposed. Any boxer that avoids Wilder's right hand, moves and boxes well can beat him. I didn't think Wilder would beat Parker. Maybe Wilder should retire and keep smoking and smiling.
