In fact, there was a lot of learnings from that fight that went into tonight. Almost too much - Parker looked like he only wanted to box from the outside, it was a very narrow minded plan.
It pains me to say it, but he needs to fight in the states now - I agree, he can't keep coming back to NZ.
I totally agree with your other post - said to my wife at about round 9 - "where the **** is the uppercuts?" It was sitting there waiting for him the whole fight but he was content to keep sticking that jab out.
Nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see how many more people pipe up and say Ruiz won that fight - he simply didn't win enough rounds. Parker fought an average fight, Ruiz fought worse, and the result is right.
Ruiz simply couldn't hit him - and you can't win a fight like that.
