@kiwiinmelb people on the outside saw it too. Parker by decision was $13. Easy money

Outstanding. Looking forward to catching the highlights. Parker has well and truly proved me wrong.
I thought Wilder would knock him out reasonably early on to be honest.
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.
Not sure it landed clean once , full credit to his team for coming up with the fight plan

Does joe replace wilder in a showdown with Joshua now ?

Good point. But is there any incentive in promoting a guy who he has beaten already ?

No. AJ will fight the Croatian.
Depends , there was talk before today that as a mandatory he gets the winner of fury v usyk
unless they squeeze aj in there now and the winner gets that fight

Main change I noticed from the Parker of old was the speed. Lightning fast, made Wilder look pretty ponderous at times. Seems to be a lot fitter and sure of himself, but the speed, both in the hands and the footwork, allowed him to attack without much risk, and get out of the way rapidly when needed.

Long time ago now ,
end of the day I suppose it will come down to interest and where the saudis want to invest their money

He controlled centre ring and had wilder backing up for most of the fight , wilder has never looked good going backwards, that’s the part that impressed me most .
. Got some pretty handy mates for advice on how to trouble wilder.

Gotta give credit to Parker. I wrote him off and thought he'd walk onto something after winning every round but it became evident after about round 7 that Wilder was confused by Parker constantly staying on the outside of Wilder's right whilst constantly making himself a moving target so Wilder couldn't set his feet at any point or get him to walk onto a trap, something Wilder is usually very good at, but looked rather clueless out there and disinterested too in all honesty. I think it's time for Wilder to retire as his heart doesn't seem in it anymore.

Kevin Barry was right. Wilder has nothing after the trilogy vs Fury.
…..and he showed serious heart and guts in that series of fights. But only one ( very short ) fight since then ?
I reckon he’ll give it away. Hopefully he has invested the money as he says he has.

Did not see that coming either
Well done
-
Only saw highlights but Parker was impressive. He has changed his physique and seems a lot more aggressive with higher workrate in the ring.
Outstanding win!
-
I watched it again , the constant feints had wilder all twitchy too and he spent most of the fight not set up to be offensive .
I suspect wilder is finished, fury took his heart .
I see this fight as a combination of that, with Joe producing a career best performance in executing a fight plan .
