Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Reflects on Loss To Dillian Whyte, Wants Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Joseph Parker has no intention of walking away from boxing after losing to Dillian Whyte - and would be happy to do it all over again after the two heavyweights combined to produce a thriller at the O2 Arena.

Based on the fact Beetlejuice won the fight on a KD that wasnt even a KD, i'd say he deserves it...ideally with a fair reff.
Regardless of how crooked Hearn's home fighters get it, with the reff's & scorecards, team Parker should of expected that, it was his fight to win...

When you fight in someone's backyard sometimes things don't go your way.

I thought there was a case for the draw even with the dubious KD. take that KD out and you’d get a 3 point swing to JP.

A little while back there was a Ring Magazine cover that was all about the heavyweights, with pictures of the big players at the weight. Wilder and Joshua were there, obviously, and Fury was there, credited as being the lineal champ. The 4th fighter on the cover was Parker. If you ask me Ring should go back and put a big red X through Parker's face, after that it's clear that he doesn't belong at the peak of the division. It was a completely terrible performance from him. He talks about not following the gameplan and that he's still hungry, but that doesn't line up with what happened - for him to get so gassed so early without even fighting at a particularly high pace, he mustn't have trained properly. He never blew himself out like that against Joshua, I think he didn't take Whyte seriously enough and he paid for it with an embarassing defeat that's knocked him back down a level. He can forget challenging for a world title any time soon, and I don't think Whyte will give him a rematch either - Whyte will convert his win into a fight worth more money.

I know man, so frustrating. I bet on a draw!

Should have been a draw thanks to the phantom KD.

that said, does Parker DESERVE a rematch? Although there is argument for it, he didn't look like he really gave a damn until the 11th round.

Regardless of the bogus headbutt KD and the too little too late almost a KO comeback in the 12th, Parker was getting blown out for most of the fight. .......... and *NOT* due to Whyte's skills. Just dirty tactics, aggressiveness, and sheer will to win.......... I'll give Whyte that.

Parker, with a new trainer and better cardio, still doesn't stack up as titleholder material, let alone "*unified world champion"?

*OMG I don't believe JP had the nerve to say that after his performance. SMH!!

Loool. I know the pain of narrowly losing out on a draw bet. My condolences.
