Gotta agree, Kiwi. Parker's best performance was against Meehan.
I think we all know the problem about Parker leaving himself open, KB probably more than anybody. The solution is the problem, as he hasn't changed in his last several fights, including Bergman. I think part of the issue is sparring with Izu and other familiar faces. Parker knows he won't get hurt by Izu in sparring, so it's not a big deal when he gets hurt.
Surely he needs some good drills in training to stop him being so open to a right hand. The wiffle ball bat comes to mind...Every time he's open, KB smacks him with the bat.
