Yeah, although he would likely have won the fight without the injury, Williams won on the night in pretty much everyone's eyes. Except the judges of course.Fortynineandout wrote: ↑27 Mar 2021, 05:50 Parker absolutely stole a British title from Daryll Williams in a controversial split decision on a Sauerland show back in 2018. He was badly injured very early on and bravely fought on using one hand only. He had his moments but for me Williams clearly won that. Williams has not fought since .
Incidentally I’ve little doubt injury free he would have won a rematch.
Sadly like many others these days instead of proudly defending against a decent worthy opponent he drops the British Title .
There’s a plethora of decent opponents at that weight and around that weight domestically but disappointingly he and his team chose intercontinental and international titles with handpicked opposition.
I quite like Parker but look forward to him facing a decent test
Boxing judges are strange, sometimes they seem to dish out bonus points to fighters who suffer adversity early but come back into the fight later Burns against Beltram and Algeri against Provodnikov being other recent(ish) examples.
All that being said, I do like the look of Parker and have a feeling he will swim comfortably when his time comes.
