Oh yeah those were wide cards. I think Parker had 2 very clear rounds, and a couple other he could have claimed.

Okay quickly, what's the stupidest, most self-destructive and self-sabotaging finish for boxing as a whole for this match?

Definitely didn't expect "horrible ref" to beat out "horrible judging", but I'm glad to see boxing continues to be boxing, self-sabotaging at every chance

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
of note is that joshua looked worse against parker than hughie fury did. you have to factor the terrible loving ref into it of course but that's still the truth

"Parker said this would be a war, I said this would be a boxing match and the ref agreed"

E: the dude who spent 10 minutes walking to the ring surrounded by pyrotechnic jets is telling people he's not about the hype

If I wasn't with people repeatedly telling me that the referee was ruining this fight I'd seriously walk away from this thinking "how the gently caress do they pack out massive arenas to watch this shite".

lmao. between this insanely bad ref nonsense and the last 30 years of every single boxing match being hilariously rigged trash garbage, I can't understand why no one gives a poo poo about boxing anymore.

Look up the ending of Freddie Norwood vs. Derrick Gainer.

Before this fight I thought that as the technically superior fighter Joshua would jab Wilder to death and stop him easily, but he looks so robotic and uneasy when having to press the action. It'll end up in a firefight and who knows what'll happen.

At least Parker didn't wait till 3 seconds to go at the end of round 12 before finally actually taking a swing at Joshua.

It was a great/satisfying end to the Klitschko saga, but said saga lasted for so long it just drained my interest in the division

Didn't roided-up Shannon Briggs come back at some point too? That's the only other noteworthy thing I remember seeing out of heavyweight boxing between Klitscho runs

I liked the three seconds when Parker threw two hooks and Joshua responded with an uppercut. The ref was out of position but quickly found his range and continued dominating the exchanges.

Thanks, Danny.
On the plus side I made $30 on my bets. :gbsmith:
