Why Hasn't Fat Dan/Media Disparaged The Boring AJ?

[Bum squad]

It was clear from the first round Parker was in to see out the 12 and survive for a respectable defeat.you could see he didn't believe he could win the fight and AJ just boxed it smart for the easy points win. Could he have taken more risks and gone for the K.O? Probably, but he didn't need to get ragged and leave himself exposed when he was he was so far ahead after the first half of the fight.

AJ had his first boring fight, after having the fight of the year last year. The guys you're comparing him to have been boring for decades.

You're comparing apples and swordfish.

Boring fights happen from time to time, it’s just part and parcel with the sport.

Sport in general for that matter.

I wouldn’t know because I only watch boxing but I’m pretty damn sure that there are boring tennis matches, cricket matches, basketball games etc etc from time to time.

It happens. Boxing wise, look, name any of the great heavyweight names in history, they definitely have had boring fights. Tyson was literally known as the guy that came to take your head off - he had the odd boring fight. Ali in the eyes of many is the greatest of them all - couple of his fights where boring.

At the end of the day a fight can be boring, but still watchable. Every fight isn’t as back and forth give and take as Pacquiao-Marquez IV for example.
