Boxing: How the world reacted to Joseph Parker's explosive win

Joseph Parker cemented his dominance over Derek Chisora in Manchester on Sunday, showing off his brute strength in a thrilling heavyweight slugfest.
Parker beat Chisora via a controversial split-decision win in May but there was no doubt about who was king of the ring this time around as the two men went to war.
Parker weighed in 5kg heavier for the rematch and the beefed-up Kiwi was packing a serious punch, securing a unanimous decision victory (115-110, 115-111, 114-112) — but the scorecards were slammed for not reflecting the New Zealand fighter's dominance.
Sports Illustrated boxing writer Chris Mannix tweeted: "These are criminally — criminally — bad scorecards. Parker scored three knockdowns and won at least nine rounds. These are investigation-worthy scorecards."
ESPN boxing expert Teddy Atlas wrote: "Great battle with two gladiators, but did that one judge (114-112) get hit with an uppercut?
"Actually on second thought I think all three judges should be administered CAT scans."
Journalist Neil Fissler said: "Michael Alexander only giving to Parker by two rounds was a disgrace."
As impressive as Parker was, boxing fans were in awe of Chisora, the 37-year-old veteran eating punch after punch yet refusing to yield. With 1:20 to go in the seventh round, Parker dropped the Briton with a right uppercut.
Parker then landed some crushing left uppercuts but somehow, as had been the case all fight, Chisora found something from nowhere. He stepped forward and started swinging again, the crowd roaring as he forced Parker to retreat with a barrage of heavy punches.
Sports reporter Ryan Taylor tweeted: "Derek Chisora: Heart of a lion. Unbelievable round. Seemingly nothing left in the tank, nearly takes Parker out. Cannot be trained."
Chisora needed the ropes to hold him up during another standing count following a third knockdown in the eighth round and as he had done all fight, walked over to the corner before continuing to go to war.
Mannix wrote: "Chisora just walking to the corner after each knockdown and Parker having no clue what to do with it is absolutely incredible."
Parker predicted pre-fight he would end things before the 10th round and while he was doing everything possible to make good on his promise, it was easier said than done.
DAZN's official boxing Twitter account added: "How has this gone 12 rounds?"

I’m enthused about parker now. From the weigh in on, he looked better. And fought a lot better for a lot longer. Changing trainers made all the difference. Lot to be excited about now with him.

Just think of this:
That is the best improvement we have seen from Parker in 5 YEARS
RE: Parker/Chisora - diehard - 12-19-2021
Made a liar out of me. Thought he'd get ko'd with the extra weight. Still believe he can carry his power without putting on extra weight. Might have done it for his inside game, but that was probably his biggest weakness in this fight.
His skill, accuracy, punch selection, and movement was next level for him. Andy Lee has really helped him. Remember when Parker would lead with his head when throwing punches? Not anymore!

Credit to Parker, he looked better for sure. Quite surprised by his increased power and how strong he appears now.

Andy lee take a bow
probably in the nick of time JP made that trainer change any later....

Michael Alexander, an English judge, scored it 114-112 for Parker. Home town bias? He reffed the AJ/Usyk fight. Remember when AJ was about to get KO'd and Alexander stopped the 12th round 6 seconds early? A Hearn plant?
