Comments Thread For: Fabio Wardley stuns Joseph Parker with incredible 11th-round stoppage

[daggum]

Complain about the stoppage if ya'll want , Joseph Parker and his team didn't complain though. They knew what was happening and appreciate the referee saving Parker. Wardley wasn't going to stop punching.

was he going to start landing?

Norwich FC would beat Wardley.

The question we need answered right now is did Parker's people put a rematch clause in the contract? It's very common now when a champ, or even an interim champ, takes a non-mandatory fight. Joe Joyce had one for the Zhang fight when he held this same belt. So did Favio have to agree to the same?

Second question that comes to mind is has Wardley dropped that WBA Interim Regular Champion belt? They never mentioned it even once when announcing the fighters.

He threw about 20+ punches and true, the last 3 or 4 didn't land but the first few of the sequence did - or did Parker just voluntarily crouch down on the ropes and not throw anything as part of some cunning plan to lure Wardley into a massive KO counter ????????????

Hope so. Wardley ends him early next time.

He's seen Parker now and there is nothing there. It is definitely all hype.

Scotland is British.

I was screaming "Do not stop this fight Foster, you better not stop this fight" for 5 seconds repeatedly before he stopped it. Absolute bull**** call. Parker was not out on his feet. He was weaving and looking at Fabio. The last shot he weaved and that's when Foster stopped it. Absolutely diabolical stoppage. A great fight ruined by Howard Foster. Andy Lee did not see a reason to throw in the towel, and he would have done so had he deemed it necessary.

Fabio deserves tremendous props, I gave him a 20 percent chance on winning this fight and he put up one helluv a fight.

Massive credit to Joe Parker. He took this optional when he could have taken a time killer gimme. Compare with the stiff Kabayel is going to pick in a similar situation.

Kabayel would end Parker with EASE.
