Round-by-Round: Joseph Parker vs. Derek Chisora II - 18 December 2021

[golden_labrador]

I noticed Chisora wasn’t able to use his roughhouse tactics as much.

Probably because Parker weighed more than him.

The fights Chisora should have won, he loses, and then the fights he clearly loses, have daft cards.

Why not just give us good scorecards all the time.

Parker was almost doing a plank on Chisora when they were in clinch/hug on the ropes. he was trying to use as much leverage and weight as possible. at least a few times Parker's feet were absolutely together like at attention, but at 45 degrees on top of Delboy. like a Fury tactic or something

I was sat about 5 feet from John Fury. Can’t really take your eyes off the man.

I bet he can help you with that if you ask nicely

Bang. Someone hits my comment out the park. Thank
You.
I did approach him for a pic but I was unsure what month is eye-gouging season.

Mind he doesn't take your eye

[Dioufy]

Btw I had it 119-107 live. Which I don’t understand as there were 3 knockdowns and I was too pissed to recall in the moment.
My wife is clueless and she said it was even.
But just felt to me that Joe was just that little bit better in all aspects. I was shocked by the cards.
Will rewatch later on the tele.

He was stood by an entrance for a while at the start of the evening, happy to pose for selfies, I got one for my mate and that made his night, then thought well why not and got one with him myself. Very friendly and approachable. Think he was enjoying it.

Yep. Agree. I got one with him; made my night. I like him for some reason.
Then my wife asked him for a picture and he replied “yeah love, all right” in those sexy tones.

[ironbeard]

I had 116-109.

I don’t think that the 115-110 and 115-111 scores were bad. Parker was gassed for half of the fight and Chisora willed himself to anywhere from 3-5 rounds, arguably.

Nice HW fight but Parker did not impress, in my view. If he does not improve his stamina, he is destined to replace Chisora as the HW gatekeeper very soon.

[DrDuke]

I had 117-108 for Parker. That wasn't even close.

He's a sad old man desperate to be a celebrity.

I saw Tyson at a book signing. People were approaching John, not the other way round.

He’s somehow become the darling of British boxing. I think he’s funny , characters like that make life more entertaining.

I did stop finding him funny a few years back.

Social media and over exposure don't help, these days he is lacking material, so him repeating the same old stories etc get boring.
And I do think he enjoys the attention more than anyone else in his family.

Watched the Cabbage fight, he really could even be given a count in the 2nd. Nearly got punished by another can.

[peter barlow]

Just catching up on the card was out Saturday.

Richards vs Gongora is a stinker. Not scoring it but probably have Richards up a few rounds. Richards looks slick, good movement but feather fisted which I think will cost him against the top guys. Still though it's a good win for Lerrone to get.

Arena looks 20% full at this point, Upper tier closed? Hearn did say the COVID pass is now hurting ticket sales.

He was 20 seconds away from being ko’d. I’d fancy he’ll go backwards now to lower grade journeyman before stepping up to whatever level he’s gonna get beat at.

I think they had about 10-11,000 in there. Probably gave away 1,500 or so I’d guess.

[margaret thatcher]

ive never seen the lower rows so packed with fighters, mustve been some sort of order for them to show up lol. they were alll coming back after fighting too

And he was talking about going the Bridget route next year.

The bridgerweight route suggested seemed to be straight into a final eliminator against a Pole and then if he wins that the Rivas fight. I forget the Polish guys name but I looked at his record a few days back and he’s undefeated with all his wins bar a few by KO. Definitely a fight I’d expect Babic to get soundly beaten in given he hasn’t fought anyone you could say is in the top 100 in the world barring Molina who was literally in his last ever fight.

Rivas already has to make 2 mandatory defences doesn’t he

Yeah it fairly filled up as the night went on tbf, Lower tier looked mostly full for last 2 fights. Not bad considering the restrictions and ongoing situation.

[peter barlow]

Zelfa was fairly decent.

Cullen did not use his height or reach at all, looked a brutal body shot but I'd question Cullen at that weight, his punch resistance? He did get hit with the head repeatedly though by Sadjo.

They could say Sadjo was much better than the original opponent and different style but realistically it was late notice for Sadjo and for a vacant European title so it wasn't going to be an easy touch. Good performance by the Frenchman.
