Either Joshua's hosed up his hand or is clueless on how to break down an opponent

I think Parker would be winning this if it weren't for the ref. As it is it's a close fight.

this is loving crazy. the ref has conditioned both of them to clinch and then just stop fighting immediately lol

i'm the opposite. i think joshua's uppercuts would have hosed up parker's day by now if they were allowed to fight inside at all

I swear Joshua just did a straight up The Office turn to camera when the ref started fixing his tape again

I do agree with the idea that Parker has figured out how to slip the uppercut, but if they were able to fight freely on the inside, AJ would have gotten him cleanly a few times by now.

it's gotten to the point that as soon as they come close they just go limp and stop because they know the ref is gonna break them apart

I mean it would be a fight, but Parker is obviously outmatched a range, his best success was coming in and he seemed to sort of catch Joshua by surprise with that earlier. All Joshua has to do is wrap his tree limb arms around Parker and then force the fight back out to range.

I mean it's obviously a high risk high reward strategy, Parker could be on his rear end by now if they were infighting, but it'clear that was the tactic Parker wanted to pursue and he just can't now.

AJ won, but this was a closer fight than the Sky team is making it seem. Parker could have won 5 rounds, I guess I could see a case for 6 if you really really wanted.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Started off as a fight and then it seemed they both just stopped every time they got close because they knew the ref was coming in to stop it.

I think a Joshua was flattered a little by his longer reach
