Or alternatively he could have kept on attacking a visibly spent Parker for a few more seconds and made it conclusive.

Yh i agree Parker was obviously hurt but he was blocking punches and was aware whats going, good fight though!

someone on here said Parker was looking more likely to get the KO when the ref stopped it. I'm still not seeing it

We should have been all talking today about what a terrific bout it was, really exciting and enthralling, Wardley really stepped up too

That was me, it’s a fairly abstract view… I just think wardly was absolutely punching himself out… to me it looked like Parker was kinda fucked , but also aware that wardly couldn’t keep doing that much longer.

It might be a slight exaggeration. Parker might have been too tired himself to Finnish him. But you get the point, I think if Parker survived another 20 seconds the tide would have turned.

You saw his initial reaction. Poor sod had fought his nads off and he deserved better.

BBBC strikes again

On the flip side Foster stopped the action near end of the 2nd when Wardley had Parker hurt to let Parker replace his gumshield. He shouldn’t have done that, he’s meant to wait for a natural break so arguably he saved Parker

I’ve seen plenty of refs do a time out for gumshield tbh. I’m sure there was a break in action.

Yes, the momentum was about to swing. Wardley gave it is all but Parker was still in there. Fabio had blown himself out Parker was about come on strong. It's such a shame we were denied the spectacle. Most of all though... All that hard work and sacrifice from Parker. Years of building himself up, waiting for his chance and for such a poor decision to take it all away.

I have a little less sympathy.

He’s experienced enough to know you have to at least look as if you are throwing something back.

You can’t take a load of punishment, not throw anything back, sag on the ropes and not expect the ref to jump in.

The last few punches may not have landed flush, Wardley may (possibly) have been about to tire, but Parker looked like a sitting duck.

For me, Foster was right for once and Parker only has himself to blame. I think that showed in his post fight reaction - he’s a humble honest guy.

Wardly landed 1/4 punches since parker had last thrown.... If parker was in fact a sitting duck i would expect a better connext rate on that last combo. (parker would of been a sitting duck vs a fresh wardly, but not ver a raggard tired wardly)..
