    He was mistaken.

    They went to Joshua because he stalked his man throughout and landed more punches. Most of the jabs thrown by Parker landed in the thin air 18" in front of Joshua. Anyone who knows their onions could see this.

    Shocking. Something odd about it all, too. In the dressing rooms before the fight he spoke to both fighters in good English, then reverted back to Italian in the ring.

    I don't think it made a massive difference to the fight, though. The obvious assumption is that Parker would have been able to get in close, but AJ is very strong on the inside, too. Uppercut, anyone?

    I think Joshua is slightly better and stronger in every department, and he would have found a way to win, regardless.

    Can't see it.

    So Parker would have won if they played in NZ? Don't think so.

    You think Parker might have had more success inside?

    They both would, but he literally saved Parkers head from a pounding with one of the breaks. If I had my remote in my hand I'd have thrown it at the bastard telly <laugh>

    Fair point but I did have it closer than the judges but like I’ve said before; what the **** do I know?

    He did spoil it, but it's the same for both fighters.
