And he won 11 of 12 rounds. And as Sham will tell you, it's hard punching up, and takes a lot out of you. Remember Joey Wilson, Sham?
Still, as champ, his job was to find a way to break him down. Dennis did it with a KO. I didn't like Joe's physique, nor his speed in that fight.
I think Parker should have taken the fight to him. He should have fought on the inside.
Maybe KB thought it was too risky, being a heavyweight title defence and all, but cmon, Joe needs the experience.
