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.

Parker's lack of power let him down. He thought that if he ate right and gained weight, he could hit with the big boyz. Problem was, he doesn't know how to punch thru his opponent. His accuracy was good, and he certainly hit Wardley enough to KO him. Except Wardley could take a punch and hurt JP, and JP couldn't return the favour. That said, I think Wardley improves each fight and could give Usyk trouble.

As much as I don't believe in rematch clauses for anything but a full world title- why didn't JP have one fir this belt?
Dillian Whyte did Joe Joyce did... lost to Zhang twice to lose the WBO Parker bt Zhang - Zhang had the clause but didn't exercise it I feel Warren has fleeced JP here- he was meant to look after JP best interests as his promoter along with Spencer Brown and Higgins. If JP wants to continue and I'm sure he does maybe a change in promoter is needed- give Eddie a call and try to get AJ fight. AJ Dubois Hygovic Ruiz Jnr Sanchez
Good point bart. Especially if it was JP taking the risk and not Wardley. JP, and Wardley needed to think, "if I lose against Wardley, where does that put me?" He's out $60 million! Sounds like Warren was protecting Wardley and not JP.
Who does Parker fight next? Looks like Kabayel will fight DDD in January. As JP is being risky these days, why not take away Wardley or Usyk's possible opponent and fight Itauma? Of course, if Wardley wins against Usyk, there'll be a rematch. If Usyk wins, why not JP. Especially if AJ/Fury fight before that. |
