Scored it 117-116 to Parker
A lot of very close rounds
including a couple where I gave Ruiz the round with a bit of benefit of the doubt ,and for being the agressor
Joseph evaded and parried a lot of shots that upon first viewing seemed to be scoring
Andy didnt catch Joesph flush all night , whereas Joseph definately caught Ruiz with some good shots
Still have a lot of respect for Ruiz , but I now think Josephs win was totally legit
thing is in championship fights it is frowned upon to give a 10-10 round so i think allot of the close ones went to parker due to crowd influence. should be no surprises there. also i note a certain boxing official who was very outspoken over the last few days in media was a corner supervisor for main fight. how can you score it 118-111 ruiz if your supposed to be watching the corner for dirty tricks. just saying you can't do both
