Embarrassing commentary. 'How are you scoring it?'

Met with three commentators either saying they weren't scoring it (well then wtf are you doing?), or some non-committal rubbish.

Poor stuff.
It was painful at times. I could hear that punches were being thrown but Smith ignored them. He just kept prattling on about spurious stuff and bringing in each of the other three for comments, Very little blow-by-blow commentary occurred.
It's very rare that I listen to the radio for boxing. Think it's only a couple of times in the last 20 years.
After this, I'll probably give it another couple of decades.

Zhang is only going to regress at his age so given Parker will get well paid I'd be fine taking that if I was his advisor.

He's surely in line to take on AJ, Fury, Usyk now and I don't think he will be able to bridge that gap.
Maybe not, but he's earnt the right to try

Tough to say what's next for Joe.
He probaly won't get a shot at Usyk, Fury or AJ next.
Good point.
He got the Zhang fight because no one wanted it, not sure apart from the rematch where he goes.

it's a really good match -up competitively. although this version of parker knows what to do vs punchers, and if he is getting the better it could end up really boring

one thing for sure though, dubs would be a lot more active than zhang

Wasn’t complaining in the slightest, I’ve literally watched it all, just saying it’s an epic length of show.

I really hate the idea of parker vs zhang II, hope the sauidis pay bit extra to mix it up.

parker vs DDD, Parker vs joyce 2, parker vs whyte 2, parker vs ruiz 2, parker vs hrgovic, parker vs usyk, ....

Zhang vs wilder, Zhang vs DDD, Zhang vs nganu, Zhang vs hrg 2, zhang vs efe, zhang vs AJ (if he loses)....

So many juicey matchups to mix up with why not... but i guess after 6 months when we have all fogoten the first fight was boring they will be able to make a highlight promo real with parker getting floored and coming back strong to edge a decision.... and it will feel like a good fight again for those without perfect memories.....
