Joseph Parker v Junior Fa - DAZN UK

[Old bones Ian]

Well 11th hard round to score , I'm going even .
Fa needs knockout or knockdown for me to get something

[gregregegg]

Very close, pretty poor fight. Cards could be anything here, but i expect parker.

[bigjack]

Gonna be a draw

I can see that too

[jameswilson]

Stick Fa in with Alen ‘The cabbage’ Babic if he loses this.

[Neil Gee]

Messy last round both too knackered to do anything effective. How the judges saw those close rounds will be critical on the cards here. I have it 7-5 Parker for what it's worth.

[skanksta]

I’ll be shocked by a Fa win.

He’s done better than expected but no way did he win that...

[Old bones Ian]

116-113 Parker

[skanksta]

Stick Fa in with Alen ‘The cabbage’ Babic if he loses this.

I’ve been thinking “Babic should fight him next” throughout the morning..

[gregregegg]

I could score this anywhere from about 9-3 either way... so many messy rounds that are almost imposable to just casualy score if your not really focusing on it. Id expect them to go more Parkers way him being the big dog, but yea, judging could be very wide either way.

poor cards

[Twinkle Toes]

lmao and you think our cars are bad jesus wept

[Fightnight Scores]

119-109!! Jesus.

[Neil Gee]

119-109!! Jesus.

Yes seems like there's always one bad card lol.

I can't argue overall, well I could but what would be the point?

[handsofstone]

Well that was fcvkin dreadful, i had Parker ahead 116-1114 but im not arsed about the exttra wide cards because at least he tried to fight, tge holding from Fa was a disgrace, how he never even got a talking to let alone points off is incredible, the ref was as equally woeful as the fight was, Fa was more interested than holding than he was boxing, Parker wasn't blameless but nowhere near as bad as Fa was, the fight had zero quality and a handful of meaningful punches landed

Im not big on fighters complaining to refs but there are exceptions, you'd have thought Parker and Kevin Barry would've learned from the refs in the fights with Joshua and Whyte but nah they just kept plodding away with no plan B, nearly every round could've been scored even it was that bad, Parker gets slight props for at least making some effort to fight

Totally agree, the holding was unbelievably frequent from Fa, was so frustrating to watch every ten seconds. Dire contest sadly.

[bigjack]

terrible fight,both ranked in the top ten by the WBO

[forcefraser]

The Tongan Hughie showed shades of Ali.

He'd be a great comeback fight for Triple D

Lol but too dangerous for actual comeback fight . They won’t match Dubois against anyone half decent for a bit.

I don’t know that Junior Fa wouldn’t be Dubois best win. I’m not sure Nathan Gorman would plod to a victory over him, Gormans power is definitely nowhere near Parker’s.

[Stevieaber]

I stayed up off a night shift to watch the show. Suffice to say I won’t be doing that to watch either Parker or Fa again. Pretty poor stuff. The referree didn’t help the situation though, and you would have thought that he might have pulled them up and had a word after the 80th clinch, rather than just breaking them snd letting them carry on doing the same thing

[margaret thatcher]

I’ll be shocked by a Fa win.

He’s done better than expected but no way did he win that...

agree, made it harder than expected for parker but defo didnt win. did too little in most rounds and fought to spoil, when who knows maybe he coulda won if he'd gone for it more, when he actually committed to shots he was landing decently and joe couldnt catch him clean

[milpool]

Just watched Parker v Fa. I never ever ever want to see Fa fight again. He didn’t want to engage and just constantly held.
Although Parker was disappointing, I felt for him a little as he was being smothered every time he tried to initiate some action.
The best part about the fight was the ring announcer, he certainly enjoyed himself!

Parker was very frustrated at the end of the fight. He needs to get more aggressive. He even let Whyte bully him. Imagine what Chisora would do?

[AntonioMartin]

How is this on British and Irish? Shouldnt it be on Australia and Pacific???

And we LOVE a bit of Tongan action..

me too!
