Joseph Parker

[Steven]

I thought it was on tomorrow. How was the fight round by round? Was Parker behind at the time of the stoppage?

Parker won the first round, Wardley had him in trouble in the second when he threw out his mouthpiece, and then JP settled into the fight in the middle rounds. JP looked good in the 10th until the end of the round when JP was hurt again. In the 11th, Wardley went after him and stopped him at 1:41 (I think?) of the 11th round. Controversial stoppage as JP was ducking and diving but also getting caught without throwing anything back but two wild right hands.

Just watched it on youtube. I hate doing could have, would have with fights. But damn it. It was fairly even. Parker just doesn't have knockout power. The fact he can put 150% into his punches for most of a fight shows his stamina is incredible. But it all feels so forced. So much risk when the chance of getting a knockout is so low is frustrating.
