Joseph Parker - Young man going places.
-
Parker it throwing combos but really spaced out and he isn't jabbing enough in between
-
Yeah definitely!
Parker is wearing the shots well but it only takes one...
-
Ruiz is still throwing but Joe doesn't seem busy enough. But the comms seem to think the jabbing is enough
-
Ruiz does look frustrated - hope we see some fireworks in the last two rounds
-
Less hugging more punching please lads
-
up against the better calibre of fighters, Joes power perhaps isnt the weapon we thought it might be
-
Hasn't looked like he wanted to take the fight to Ruiz
-
he's probably landed more but Ruiz has thrown heaps
-
Maybe just to Ruiz? Parker didn't push the fight but his accuracy was probably better.
-
Commentary still leaning to Parker
-
and a good call that Joshua or Fury won't be worried about these two
-
Joe wins!! Majority decision!!
I think he knows how lucky he was!
-
i thought Ruiz had done enough through the early rounds , we saw a similar thing a couple of weeks back with the Andre Ward fight ,
but it was close thats for sure

@Paekakboyz said in Joseph Parker - Young man going places.:

Yep. One of them had to show a lot more I think, to be considered a genuine threat to Fury or Joshua. Wonder if Parker will stay with Barry. Kinda think Barry has taken him as far as he can.
-
First NZ heavyweight champ (unless you count Bob Fitzsimmons). Congrats where it's due.
Dunno if Parker is one of the top 3 or 5 in the world (personally I think Luis Ortiz is the best by far) but he has got one of the main belts now.
-
I know nothing about boxing but that was close.
Joe hit him with some big ones but Ruiz just took them, sucked them up and threw some back.
Thought Ruiz looked slightly better - kept pushing Joe back - but as I said I know nothing about boxing.
Was hoping the comms were right that Joe had slightly the better of it but gut feel was sooo close and any of 3 results would nit gave surprised.
