    I honestly think Joshua was trying to work on some things rather than try to look impressive. Joshua to me looked really nice the first two rounds.

    After that he started looking unfocused and uninterested.

    One of the most boring championship fights I've seen in a while.

    Never caught fire. I never score fights but I do remember thinking it was closeish after 6 but then Parker to me just started resembling Hughie Fury
    I didn't score it either. I knew they'd give it to Joshua but honestly I thought it might has well a been a draw. my god it was a stinkfest.

      Nowhere near a clinic. He didn't look good. No need to try to spin it.

        You paid for the event bro?

        My sister who isn't a boxing fan went in with her friends for the match, who also weren't boxing fans. They told how much they hate me for suggesting to watch AJ vs Parker and would never see a boxing match ever again unless it was Josh Kelly who was the main event.....lol

              I don't think it was a "smart" fight, or a boxing masterclass as Hearn called it haha.

              Neither guy did anything but Joshua was bigger so Parker could do slightly less than AJ at times.

                Yeah Clinic is being generous to the max. I think Joshua can take positives though, his jab and stamina were much improved and he knows his optimum weight for conditioning.

                  joshua did enough to win.....i wouldnt say he looked bad or horrible...but he didnt look great

                  parker wasnt long or quick enough with the feet to get to AJ.....parker did a poor mans tyson fury vs wlad impression.....and it was enough to make AJ look off...

                  while wilder wont fight in the same style his athleticism and length alone will make it more difficult for AJ....and that right hand will land on him and test the chin.....

                    It’s hard to take much from this fight as far as conditioning. I actually wasn’t too impressed with his stamina TBH. He barely threw and didn’t work in the clinches.

                    Joshua is a willing warrior, but you can see why Hearn doesn’t want to put him in against Wilder yet.
