You could even say Whyte went life and death with Parker too. Very close fight that could have easily ended a draw or a 12th round stoppage win for Parker.
I thought Parker won that fight. Had it not been in Greenwich, the scoring would have been the other way.

Even then, that the 2nd round KD not been given it would have ended a draw.

I disagree, Whyte has improved so it would be a 50/50 IMO. I can see Whyte winning too.

Upon re watching, Whyte def beat Parker. Parker almost had him out on his feet at the end. I'd like to see a rematch.

Improved by going life & death twice with Chisora?

I think th clash of heads in round 2 scrambled his senses for 5-6 rounds.
He was easily dealing with Whyte in the first and second round upto that point

Yes, it will have hardened him and boosted his confidence. Not that he seemed short of it before.

It's amazing how many Whyte fans have come out of the woodwork since AJ lost. :lol:

Yes, I’m not a fan personally. I don’t mind the geezer but he’s not my favorite. I do rate him as a fighter though. I really think he loves a good scrap.
