I think you've got to try and see things without your Parker fan glasses on. I watched it in a busy bar and left as soon as the bell went to bed without hearing the result. I was in no doubt of the final result, for lots of the rounds he was caught, he hands were down and he had no defence and no jab. He gassed after about a minute and half of most rounds so there was even less coming back. Parkers a good solid top 10 guy, he was gifted a 'world title' against an unworthy opponent (that was a close fight). He made a few defences against unworthy challengers and then lost the title to a far superior fighter. I reckon if he does fight another 4-5 years and fights other top ten opponents he'd have a 50/50 record against them. He's not the second coming of Ali, he's a good solid heavyweight with bad habits. The mission now for his team is to try and get him out of those bad habits, it might be too late though. Let's hope not.
He was also knocked silly by a head clash early on and in his words felt like he was fighting through a haze for several rounds
But of course guys like you wont believe him and dont mind rule breaking and biased refereeing
