    Both Parker and Whyte had questionable knockouts today...

    Parker got the KO with a shot to the top of the head. Tupou looked like he was out cold & needed help to get up. Dillain Whyte's knockout looked like a delayed reaction to a glancing left hook on the temple. Not saying they were dives but it didn't look like they were devastating knockouts. Costa Junior got hit on the temple so his equilibrium may have been shook. Tupou is a solid 265 & I never would have guessed him getting KTFO by a shot to the top of the head. I'm not sure what to take out of either fight.

    Missed the Whyte fight but Tupou was out stone cold. Landed on his face, he just didn't see any punches coming, his eyes were looking at the floor where the glancing blow landed.

    Maybe Parker hits really, really hard or Tupou's chin is bad but I have no doubts in my mind Tupou was absolutely out.

      I didn't see the Parker fight. Whyte's opponent did look like he jumped to the floor twice i thought at the time.

        I thought the Whyte KO looked a bit funny...but who am I to say it wasn't a KO I wasn't hit.

          If you're going to take a dive you're not going to drop like that. Topou displayed every sign that he was sparked out cold, and if he faked it then he's an extremely accomplished actor with razor sharp reactions and an excellent ability to plant himself face first on the canvas without the slightest of flinches.

            I see Parker is having to answer questions about a dive. I don't think it was a dive. I watch several views of the replay & one actually shows him hitting him in the top of the head. Tupou needed assistance getting up. He looked out cold.

              I agree but it took a few different angles of the replay to see the impact. He was out. Parker at 236 must have some serious power.

                Tupou fell like Pacquiao in the 4th Marquez fight! A shot from a puncher like Parker, even if it hits the top of your head, will rattle your brain stem. Tupou charged into it too..

                  Tupou's been knocked out by every other guy who beat him. Bryant Jennings who I believe has less power than parker stopped Tupou but yes it is odd he got stopped very badly to a shot to the forehead.

                  Parker KO'd Tupou the fastest of any Tupou's losses.
