Comments Thread For: Tupou Reacts To Dive Allegations in Joseph Parker Loss

[war52]

Spot on mate.No way was this dive.Parker has the fastest hand speed in the division.
He hit him so fast you could not see it real time.When look at in slow motion you can
See he hit him on top of his head.The referee had Tupou in recovery position on his
side.You could see his eyes roll back in his head.He was knock cold end of story.

that was a dive, barely touched him

otherwise tupo has a glass top of the head

Did you watch the replay, Earl? Tupou did a face first plant into the canvas and was out cold for several moments. Do you really think he practiced this and acted it out so good he fooled everyone?

It wasn't a dive. It was a 'flukey punch' that knocked him out cold, kinda like the Tony Thompson KO of David Price.

Tupou's been stopped every time he lost. He's a big guy but he put all his momentum into that shot. It is odd that he went cold from a forehead shot but it seemed pretty real to me by the way his arms just flopped over, same position as Pacquiao.

u act like faceplanting form a crotched position is hard to do///u act like let your arm flop is hard to do..they likely to told him to go down on the first clean shot like he was done for..he picked a rather iffy shot instead..im sure they docked him pay for this fiasco

trainers trying to sound like neurologist to explain this BS
"crushed down on his windpipe and make him say ouch charlie bit me"

lol i dont wanna hear it..i been hit there and that was a dive..like was way to glancing to do damage..it was 95% glancing

its a difficult one to call.

It certainly wasn't a flush shot, and tupou looked lively up to that point. If it was a dive, it wasn't as blatant as malik scott's versus wilder.

hopkins took a bit of a dive in that picture lol

Keyboard warriors with the audacity to say fighters are taking dives. How many fights have you all had? Pathetic.

The same idiots who say Mora took a dive, and/or that Jacobs KOd him. Unfortunately, there's alotta ****** around this sport.

If that was a dive, give Tupou an academy award.
