I know nothing about boxing , other than 15yr old Mike Tyson was the scariest dude on the planet
But watching that replay, SBW just appears to have zero jab, despite the reach advantage? I'd have expected him to use reach to keep him at bay and clock points? Weird tactics
I thought the same; why with a reach advantage are you constantly coming forward and crowding a shorter opponent with a reputation as a hard puncher?

Report I read said that SBW did have a good jab and used it well but Hunt decided wtf and started walking through it. Tough guy throws caution to the wind and backs himself landing a good one (which he did)
Good that SBW seems to understand his ceiling though. Hope he retires from this game and good on him for having a go. -

@mikedogz heard from a good sauce he's gonna get back in the ring for that often dreamed/talked about fight that never happened with Iron Mike.
Better late than never I guess.I’ll believe that when I see it.
Would have been interesting in their primes though. At their respective bests I think Iron Mike woulda taken it comfortably but Tua whilst never having that “peak” was more consistent for longer.
Tyson seemed to abandon the sweet skills, head movement and combination punching later on.

Reasonably comfortable decision to Parker in the end. Massey improved as the fight went on.
Critics will point out that Parker should have knocked a pumped up cruiserweight out though I’m sure. Probably not the convincing win he’d have hoped for.
I’ll stop talking to myself now

A decision is like a loss for Parker. Andy Lee might say that Massey was negative but Parker needed to find some answers and be busier.
Massey was tough. Took some pretty big hits.
Yes, but the shots were from Parker. That has always been his problem, a lack of a reasonable punch.

I said “pretty big”
Parker has decent enough power but you’re right, not compared to others. He did look to have improved this a few fights back though.

Parker's problem was a lack of combinations. He landed that good uppercut but failed to follow that up with other punches.
Just another fight that proves what we all know.
He’s “there and there abouts” without really having the goods to beat the very top fighters. Losses to Joshua and Joyce prove that.
No way would he trouble Fury or Wilder based on what we just saw.

Can Fury bring as much heat as Joe?

“I think Jake Paul would kill Tommy Fury”
Next sentence…..
“I don’t know how good Jake Paul is”
Hats off to Joe for shooting this imbecile down
