Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker is Willing To Fight Winner or Loser of Bellew-Haye

[Oshio]

Parker-Ortiz will be a good fight.

[Straightener]

I was annoyed with Parker as well, I catually think he could have won if he could have made it close if he was more aggressive.

I thought it was even after 6, and was expecting Parker to increase the work-rate in the second half and get better as the fight went on.... the opposite happened to my surprise, Joshua won 5 of the last 6 rounds!

He never even tried to go for the ko in the last round knowing his belt was on the line.

Lost a lot of respect for Parker as a fighter, I still respect his skills but he could have done much better with some will to win.

Yeah it looked like he was chuffed to make it through the fight still standing

Coasted to a points loss . Weird

I guess he figured pretty early he wouldn't be able to tag aj's ''glass chin'' and was thinking about future pay days

The ref hindered both guys to be fair

Joshua usually does most damage when he breaks out of a clinch ref messed both guys up

Still didn’t go for it . it was exactly like haye klitscko bottle job

Joshua might do most of his damage on the inside but that's the only place where Parker could have done any damage due to his size disadvantage. That was the only way he could have realistically won and the ref took that away.

I never even seen him trying to bob his way in and land hooks, like a Tyson or Povetkin would to bigger guys. Tried to box and jab to the body, which is good tactics early on but at some stage you should try to at least get inside and try to land something big.

The lack of determination and fight was glaring, especially after his Samoan warrior **** at the start. He's not nasty enough for boxing IMO.

I agree, it was markedly similar to the Haye Klitschko fight. Even Parker's post-match interview suggested that he was happy to have survived and never really believed he would win. He conducted himself with class after the fight though, unlike Haye who was a complete d*ck

Exactly. When he proudly said, "at least I didn't go down" after the fight I thought, this guy never actually believed he had a chance.

What the **** are you meant to do when you're fighting a guy who's promoter has already paid of the ref, fixed the judges scorecards and fighting in his territory? He can't win a decision and he can't go for a knockout either cause the ref would stop him from it, is he meant to wait for Kevin Berry to jump into the ring and hit Joshua with a chair while he kept him distracted?

Lol. Good point.

Personally if I was from new Zealand or a big parker fan I would be cheesed with him

He fought scared the whole fight after giving it the biggun sort of like when haye fought wlad . S**t his pants and ran all night

At one point in the fight Parker was chasing AJ so much that the ref could barely keep up to protect AJ and break them apart. I have never seen AJ back pedal so quickly, it looked like shades of Hughie Fury.

Here is a little clip of AJ cheating while the ref holds parker back. Then AJ instructs the ref that he needs a timeout cause hes gassed.

Don't try to revise history, it's pathetic. Parker got spanked. He knows it, we know it, it's about time you caught up.

Spanked? not a mark on him except from AJ's illegal elbow.

Exactly. When he proudly said, "at least I didn't go down" after the fight I thought, this guy never actually believed he had a chance.

I think they mean, Parker never believed he would get the corrupt judges points decision.

So Parker never had a chance, but AJ still needed to cheat and rip the tape off his gloves to get his special timeout, and they had to rig the ref and scorecards in there favour to secure the win.
