116 - 115 Parker

Unbelievably close fight.
I was leaning towards Ruiz in the 3rd and Parker in the 5th but scored both even as too close to call.
Most of the Ruiz rounds, Parker had controlled most of it with the jabs and never did enough and Ruiz nicked it with a flurry or two
Most of the Parker rounds, Ruiz probably landed one or two heavier shots but was not active enough to claim the round

I'd struggle to make a cast iron case against anyone who disagreed with most of those rounds.

How anyone can call a fight like that a robbery is an absolute mystery to me.

Too easy to score 3 rounds even, judges are paid to have a winner for each rounds, so your even rounds are not acceptable and remember that judges only have few seconds after the end of each rounds to score it

Even tho Parker scrapped in a win EVERYONE knows Ruiz fought better than he usually fights and Parker performed subpar.

A rematch is going to be another win for Parker but easier.

Don't assume you're speaking for "EVERYONE", since I accurately predicted Ruiz Jr's ability and also the close competitive nature of the Parker bout long before it took place.

The betting odds pretty much told the story of the fight.

The only reason Ruiz did better than expected was due to Parkers terrible game plan

Firstly, there were many very close difficult rounds to score but more importantly, I actually highlighted the fact that I was leaning toward Ruiz in the 3rd and Parker in the 5th, so it's still an incredibly difficult fight to split.

At the end of the day if a judge can't split it, he can't split it, if he arbitrarily decides to award a round that was literally down the middle just for the sake of awarding it to someone, is that a better system? And whats the likelihood another judge gives it the other way?

The point I was trying to make stands, it was a very close fight, with very close rounds, and there is no grounds for screaming robbery

Completely agree. If nobody won the round, it only makes the likelihood of a poor decision greater if you (basically) flip a coin to determine who won the round. If a person decides they must necessarily choose a winner of a round even if it was even, that is when bias is most likely to come into play.

Parker throws nice crisp and cleaner punches that score points
while Ruiz is somewhat of a slugger throwing haymaker looking punches which dont look as good compared to straight punches.

Relax, your fake happiness win ends soon... Joshua is on the way...

* Parker ball lickers, it is open for QQ's.
