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

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

Parker was hugely upset after the ref stepped in. Who wouldn't be, if you still had your wits about you and he definitely still did.

But in the line of fire, Parker chose to stay on his feet and weather the storm, firing back as necessary while Wardley gassed himself going for the K.O. which the ref awarded him.

Who knows what would have happened if the ref had not stepped in but i'm pretty sure, Parker given the punishment he's taken through the years would not have been brain damaged if he'd gone down for the count in this fight alone.

He'd not been dropped during the whole fight and survived numerous buzzes and wobbles, just as Wardley had. It were no different than when Usyk had Fury on quëer st but the ref gave him a standing 8.

Fighting men, of which Parker is an epitome of, want to fight. They don't want to play politics and indulge in shenanigans to win, they dont take knees and they don't quit in the face of adversity.

He was never about fighting Usyk for the money. He's flush as for several lifetimes in kiwi and samoan dollars. He was fighting for legacy and to challenge himself against the best or whomever wanted to challenge him.

Wardley took that on and won on the day, albeit with the refs help, but Parker should always have known that would be the case fighting Brits in Britain. Its not his first rodeo.

He took the risk, accepted the consequences and no amount of second guessing will change the result. Moving right along is all he or anyone can do...He has. As a fan, i have. It's all good!

Wardley deserves the credit and the kudos. It was a great great fight. I was mightily entertained. Well played, Team Parker, Wardley and Queensberry. The ref ?...meh not so much, but whatevs!

The Referee didn't give Fury a standing 8 count , the standing 8 hasn't existed since 1998.

"Fury did his best to remain upright and never actually touched the canvas but was deemed to have been dropped by the Ukrainian because the ropes held him up"

Fury wasn't dropped. He was still standing and given the count.

Because he was kept up by the ropes dumbass.

I know Samoan’s are incredibly dumb and can’t read but holy fuck you take it to another level.

How do you not know that being held up by the ropes is considered a knock down and not a standing 8 count?

When did you start following boxing? Yesterday?

Standing 8 counts aren’t a thing in boxing anymore and haven’t been for like 25 years you idiot.

Amazing the **** people say on the internet from a keyboard on the other side of the world.

But if said face to face, would see them face down in the gutter, toothless with a Samoan warrior raining piss on them...lol

No options but to stop the fight. There is no standing count in professional boxing.

was parker not leaning back on the ropes with people saying he was out of it totally, if he was then he could have been supported by the ropes and deemed a count

I don’t know if I could class anyone on here as my mate, I sure know my personal friends aren’t on here. But I’d like to think despite difference of opinion it’s should be the norm to be respectful to each other and carry ourselves as grown adults. I just think we got off to a terrible start.

I’m new here as in my account, I often have used this site as it’s always been the best to me compared to the others. I have enjoyed reading people’s comments also along with articles. Mainly the post fight threads. You have a right to feel how you feel. If I agree with you or not is just opinion. It’s never me trying to bash someone over the head with “I’m right , you wrong”. Have a great rest of your week.

All good brother

"Leaning on the ropes" isn't something that get's a count.

Getting punched, THEN being held up by the ropes, meaning the only reason the punch didn't drop you is due to the ropes keeping you up, is a knockdown. I.e Fury-Usyk, which DEFINITELY could have been stopped anyway with or without the fact the ropes kept him up.

You can't just give someone a count because theyr'e laying on the ropes, badly hurt and shipping punches. That's where more times than not a fight is getting stopped.

Aw look at little buddy all emotional because he didn't even know that being held up by the ropes and standing 8 counts aren't the same thing Or that standing 8 counts aren't even a thing anymore and haven't been for decades.

Learn about boxing before talking about it in future, doofus.
