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

It's the boxing game and the fans who love the deception won't care that it's not a sport where the best are actually supposed to fight the best. Great fighters are frozen out or aged out, and the people who refuse to wake up and fall for the propaganda, will continue to support the current state of boxing.

Deontay Wilder was aged out and avoided when he was at his best. I'm glad he's set for life and got out healthy.

People who love the inversion of truth will love his lost tonight. People who are stronger minded and aren't afraid of the truth will see the deception...

Comical. Wilder was never at his best, he only had a right hand. Wilder just always got lucky landing the right hand, luck eventually runs out. If you really want to dissect wilders career, just look at the Artur Spilka fight.. wilder was losing every round until he got lucky in the 9th. Wilder has always been a wanna be thug, just because he did shrooms and acid in a Indian tent and ‘found clarity in life’ doesn’t deflect of how he’s always been.

So Joshua v Hrgovic it is then as everyone suspected.....unless Otto does a Joey too!

[Roberto Vasquez]

Parker made wilder look ridculous at points as i expected, wilder has close to no skills at this level,no counter punching, just good jabs tight high guard and pressure beats him.

Nah, Wilder KO'd Ortiz with that forehead shot and Haye said his power is insane after sparring with him. His punch power is proven. But obviously he has to land

It depends on who the Sauds want to see.

If its Parker v Hrgy, thats what we'll get.

Yes but he got 14 rounds in & 3 full training camps before this fight was signed. That obviously helped. He was fully prepared & stayed in the gym most of 2023. He is also in the Fury camp.

So what. These are professional athletes, until they retire they should always be in the gym hitting people. It's their job after all.

Well done Parker, a career defining win.

Wilder was totally outboxed. I couldn't believe he thought he won. Anyway, his desire for the sport seems gone.

He's made many millions, mainly from the fights with Fury, so he's comfortable financially. If that's it for Wilder, he had a successful career and brought excitement to boxing.

Being out of the ring for two years seems like a bad idea

I can't believe I wasted all those years rooting for Wilder. Time to change my pic. That performance was garbage.

[Loque-san]

I love it when upsets like these happen, because it also shows that fighters are often holding their place in rankings based on their names rather than on their current level. Wilder may not even be top 10 right now.

Also Wilder, and his fans, is now feeling what it's like to be fighting past your prime. He beat Ortiz when he was 39 and 40. Wilder is 38.

[Combat Talk Radio]

What was Wilder weighing tonight? Anything above 215 I felt took away from his speed but he is 38 & was inactive. I wonder what the Wilder/Ruiz fight would have looked like?

213.

This wasn't about weight. This was about gameplan. Which Wilder's was ****** (look for just a big shot like he did against Szpilka).
