Do you think the 'Joseph Parker' stoppage against 'Fabio Wardley' in the 11th Round was an unjustified stoppage?

[HisExcellency]

When did he take 20 punches? If you throw 20 punches at me and miss them all guess how many punches I took? 0. He wasn't landing. That is a very important detail that can't be dismissed or ignored. Parker was slipping the punches and he just threw 2 punches mere seconds earlier. There was no reason to stop thr fight but foster snd wardley hsve literally done this same thing in other fights. Its a racket. Wardley throws a bunch of sloppy wide punches in bunches and foster steps in. Coordination. Criminal. Foster doesn't step in when dubois is falling all over the ring agaisnt lerena. Weird innit

Somebody uploaded the full fight on YouTube...watch with 1:40 secs remaining in the 11 round. Parker misses a left hook and from that point on Wardley throws well over 20 punches (the vast majority of which land) with Parker offering 2 measly punches in return (which miss).

Therefore, it was a FAIR stoppage.

A little early for sure. But fighters also need to realize that when they're hurt, they should be taking a knee on their own to give themselves a chance.

But Parker wasn't very hurt or at least hurt enough to need to take a knee so why woukd he?

It's some kind of hysteria to think a fight needs to be stopped simply because a guy is throwing a bunch of wide sloppy punches in bunches that aren't landing. Its like are people simply impressed by someone flapping around akin to a shiny object? Look at him go! Oh hes not landing this is awkward...

He wasn't landing so why would Parker feel the need to give away a point? Just slip the shots in tbe moment and regroup. Smart. Fighters who are done dont show that defensive prowess. Floyd Mosley was 10 times worse than this. Floyd covering up snd slipping. Mosley would have a ko win over Floyd if foster was ref. What a strange world. This shows the importance of having a friendly ref doesn't it oh and this same ref helped wardley in the past. Trustworthy

The majority did not land clean i dont know what you are talking about. Possibly you have the British ai version? Parker is literally parrying and slipping the punches. Yes a few connect but none that incapacitated Parker in any way shape or form.

Watch it again...the majority definitely landed although most were not flush. Regardless, they would've been counted in the CompuBox punches landed stats and influenced the referee's decision to stop the fight early (especially when Parker wasn't throwing anything back).

Yes, I am British but I am also honest. The ref stopped it just as Wardley was starting to gas out.

Also any ref also has the option of a standing count. Parker didn't look very hurt at the time either. It's ironic that if Parker had gone down from the blows, he could have taken a breather and may even have won the fight

[M312]

Parker was out on his feet at the end of the 10th

He was still done and refusing to throw a punch in the 11th.

5 minutes and not responding.

What do we expect the ref to do? Watch him hide?

Let's not forget the ref saved Parker in the 2nd too. If it was a fix, he would've stopped Parker then.

Clear trash british stoppage. The british are without a doubt the most corrupt people on the planet and will do anything to take advantage of a situation to claim victory. See the Napoleonic Wars.

Anyway, yeah, fighters need to have a strategy to clinch when hurt when fighting in the UK

Haha bringing up compubox to bolster your argument...keep digging. Compubox an inccurate system that is sometimes off by a factor of 1000% says they were punches...on in that case...

The majority weren't landing clean and what matters are clean punches, Not some grazing crap or punches that are mostly deflected on gloves. Parker threw punches 2 seconds before the fight so you can stop using that argument as well.

It woukdnt matter if just 1 big punch landed that incapacitated parker but that didnt happen. He was not incapacitated or defensless. Wardley couldn't get the job done. The ref realized this and saved him. Check out wardley coffie. The same exact thing happened.

may i remind you of the ref stoppage of barroso v rolly romero

or how about another tony weeks special of stopping the ward kov fight on a low blow

[MulaKO]

Another classic British Screw Job from the ref
Had this been stateside , all the Kuntdale’s would be out here bashing
And seeing from the answers some of the Brits are giving on this post , it’s very transparent to see the hypocrisy at its best

Talk about calling the kettle black
