Comments Thread For: After defeat by Fabio Wardley, Joseph Parker 'wants to go again'

[Smash]

Castillo was stopped on his feet against the ropes late on against Corrales also.

im not saying every case is the same, all im saying is that if i was parker i would be very annoyed at being waved off when i was winning the fight & still on my feet, wardley was just as tired as parker he could have punched himself out, it happens

Castillo was essentially knocked unconscious. Parker was slipping all of wardleys sloppy punches. I can't think of a more different scenario. They were both standing seems to be the only similarity

I thought the stoppage was early, but does Parker not know to hold until he gets his senses back? It's literally his own fault the fight was stopped. That option was available, and he didn't do it. He could have easily made it out of the round.

The mouth breathers calling conspiracy regarding the stoppage seem to be overlooking the help the referee gave Parker in the second. Sounds like Parker has taken the defeat reasonably well. Usyk - Wardley is now the fight to make.

All these weird theories about the stoppage are laughable. The fact is Howard Foster is a horrible referee who has no understanding of what is going on. As soon as it gets wild he panicks and will stop the fight doesn't matter who is the home fighter he just is not the right man to judge high level fights.
It's one thing too hurt a fighter but a whole different thing too get a high level experienced fighter out of there. Wardely was already punching himself out and landed nothing in his last few shots. He lost his form and power in his punches there was no way he would have finished Parker in the next few seconds.
Everyone who watches boxing especially the old school fights knows how many fights we saw that exact same scenario playing out someone tries to finish a hurt fighter even way more hurt than Parker was but can't and get's finished himself or can't really do anything for rounds until catching a second wind.

Horrible horrible comparison Castillo was clearly out. Brilliant stoppage not even close to what happenend in the Parker Wardley fight.

Don't get me wrong i was rooting for neither guy if anything i wanted Wardley to end this narrative of Parker being a new improved version but the stoppage was very bad and Parker did threw back just seconds before the stoppage and afterwards he blocked and slipped the incoming shots.

Again Castillo was out out not able to block slip defend or even say his name.

I think Parker didn't clinched because he thought it was not necessary look at his eyes when Foster stops it he instantly looks at him completely clear and aware of what is going on. I believe what he says he was not badly hurt more tired than dazzed

He had his senses. That's why he was slipping the punches. There was no reason to stop the fight except to make sure wardley won. This ref didn't dare stop dubois after going down 3xtimes agaisnt a bum. Parker didnt go down and was clearly able to slip all the punches. Hopefully jail time is imminent for the criminal organization. They are trying to manufacture consent but their criminality is too obvious

This, pretty much. Yes, I do believe the ref stepped in prematurely, but Joe gave him no reason not to. He could have thrown something back. Barring that, he could have clinched. Barring that, he was ahead on the scorecards and could have taken a knee to recoup. Ultimately, while he wasn't stopped on his feet, he was in serious danger of it and the ref saw that. Should he have been given more time? Maybe, but he wasn't.

Parker will be back, he is a warrior. But he lost his undisputed ticket.

Just making up excuses to explain corruption. Foster is tbe same ref who gave wardley an early stoppage against coffie snd refused to stop duvois lerena when dubois was down 3 times. Parker was in some trouble sure but no reason to stop tbe fight except the ref knowing time was running out for wardley to get the win. Throwing wide sloppy punches against someone slipping and parrying doesn't equal stoppage. It equals sloppage

If wardley was a bit hurt and fighting like Parker 100 percent the fight wouldn't be stopped. We know that because dubois went down 3xtimes and foster didnt care. Parker never even goes down and is stopped because of hypothetical scenarios. Having a referee on the take isnt a small advantage especially when the margins are pretty slim between fighters. Huge advantage. Usyk watch out you better not even blink. Wardley should just go out there and throw punches nonstop. I bet even a couple land. Usyk has been knocked out folks
