I didn't like Parker at all. At the end, I was even rooting for him to lose, which shocked me. I've always been for Parker. But Chisora deserved that win, and did not fade at the end like he did with Usyk.
Parker possessed speed, an iron jaw, and some resilience. I thought he was a bit of a show pony; looked good with some of his combos, which had no effect.

I saw it diff , I thought he started to bully chisora back and controlled the latter half of the fight, chisora looked gassed and sloppy but still managing to land a few.
Parker should have finished him when he had him hurt to take away any doubt.

Hmmm it was close
But I though JP knicked it on cleaning shots.
That KD in the 1st was a surprise but really I thought JP had it to win and should have stepped on the pedal and got the stoppage

Interestingly, it was the Polish judge who had it 116-111. Not the NZ judge. If it were 115-113 for Parker, I could live with that decision.

Don't forget the Arreola/Ruiz fight coming up in a short while on SKY.

116 -111 was just bizarre

I personally had no problem with 116-111. I would have had it 116-111 if Parker capitalised on Chisora being hurt in the 12 instead of letting him off the hook.
I feel that in time under Lee, Parker could actually improve again. Some killer instinct would be perfect haha.
