Joseph Parker vs. Derek Chisora II - 18 December 2021

[dookus]

Chisora wanted a more convincing beating and he received it. Although Derek showed some toughness, he kept trying even after he had overcome troubles. But maybe it's just Parker who lacked a killer instinct.

That and, crucially, stamina.

117-108 Parker for me, clear winner, no surprise he dropped Chisora three times with the right uppercut, Chisora kept dipping into same shot,, Parker's finishing instincts were poor though, after every knockdown he allowed Chisora to go for walks and clear his head, more pressure and you'd fancy him to get Chisora out of there, Chisora showed plenty heart like he usually does but it looked more acts of defiance as opposed to actually trying to win the fight, decent enough scrap and Parker sat down on his punches a lot but still poor attempts for KO, seemed wary of knocking Chisora out

Sadjo was the fighter of the night, by a decent distance, for me. Very good skills, chin, power, stamina, and tactics.

What about Nyika?
You know darn well I'm touting him as the "next big thing" and yet you still ignore it...

Yes, Kiwi, Nyika looked tremendous, against a punching bag with T-Rex arms.

But seriously, he looks great so far. He is well skilled, attends to defense at all times (so far), has a good combo of speed and heavy hands, and he does not neglect body shots.

His future looks bright (early).

double Commonwealth gold medalist, bronze Olympic medalist and 26 years old.
Didn’t wait too long to turn over, like many top ams. He should be a heavyweight though.

Parker doesn't have the killer instinct. Chisora is a shooty in.

originally cullen had a patsy opponent for the euro title, was a great opportunity, but then stepped in this beast

I hope that he gets another good payday against a real challenge. Sadjo is a pleasure to witness operate.

He is very well schooled, extremely savvy in the ring, tough as iron, punches like a donkey kick, and has an excellent motor. Anyone underestimating him does so foolishly.

Best performance of the weekend, short of Beterbiev, for me.
