Watching via match tracker. Any fern updates appreciated too. Sounds like Wilder’s one trick isn’t working as yet.

Sounds like Wilder needs the knockout to take this one. Apparently Parker has won every round.

JK

Watching it and yep Parker fighting very smart. Wilder just waiting for a chance to unload the right, very reactive and no game plan

MN5

Apparently Parker has landed some big shots and wobbled Wilder ?

JK

Parker had a great round 8 and had wilder in the corner in a bit of trouble. Parker was unloading and landed a couple of rough punches but couldn’t finish him

scribe

Stay disciplined and he’s got this. 3 rounds to go

JK

Wilder still hasn’t won a round so needs to let go of the hands now

When he misses that big right hand it leaves him open for a counter so hopefully Joe is savvy enough.

JP has already done WAY better than I thought he would.

JK

Wilder just showing how he’s not much of a boxer. Starting to come forward a bit more now though

JK

Two rounds to go!

Yeah, is his heroic showing in the Fury trilogy showing up the state of the division for what it is ?

Is Fury really just the best of a pretty ordinary bunch compared to other eras ?

JK

Wilder still not done anything. Parker in control and looking confident.

Last round starting and wilder needs to explode or JP is getting a very smart win

I think so.

Fight goes the distance. Parker will win it UD and won every round.

Well done Joseph

Fury struggled against Ngannou. Wilder is doing likewise here. Perhaps Barry was right when he said the trilogy woulda taken loads out of them.

JOE PARKER, you fucking legend

Fantastic joe , well done to him and his team,

Wilder always been a one trick pony but it was a dangerous trick

MN5

Outstanding. Looking forward to catching the highlights. Parker has well and truly proved me wrong. I thought his career was over after his loss to Joyce.

I reckoned Wilder would knock him out reasonably early on to be honest. Obviously the ring rust played a factor but still, massive result for JP. Hats off.

I got a tip off from my nephew who is a young and upcoming pro boxer that joe had been crushing his sparring partners and seems to have found a new level of confidence in his power

There are those on the inside who saw this coming with wilders age and inactivity

Definitely a factor but I’m still shocked. I thought that one punch would still be more than enough.
