There will be a lot of talk on Parker's weight. There was before the fight.

I still feel the same way if he took his training and diet seriously I'm fine with it. He is in there with big guys.

Both guys were getting gassed in that fight more due to the heavy shots and it was a decent pace for a heavyweight fight.

It isn't poor preparation, they've put weight on him to absorb Wardley's big shots. Artificial weight is never good IMO.

Fabio. Congratulations. Cool name dude.

Where he's come from, failed football career straight into professional boxing with no amateur experience is pretty remarkable. I'd love him to get all the belts, would be a great story and seems like a decent person in the murky world of heavyweight boxing.

I'm not a connoisseur of boxing but just saw he knocked a bloke from Australia in his last fight while being well behind on points.

Then when Usyk dodged Parker, Parker foolishly (in my opinion) fought Fabio and the rest is history. I think the winnengest boxers dodge hard fights. The most noble fight everyone and anyone and lose some along the way.

Parker absolutely should've got his chance against Usyk. What happened earlier in the year with Dubois was absurd so it must be such a bitter defeat today.

Just listened to Joe's humble acknowledgement and congratulations to Fabio. He has showed his class and character and has shown that this loss has not defined him. He'll go again. But see how it looks. It's a great measure to see a person after losing. And losing a fight sucks.

He's always been humble but he's just not good enough. Too small, not enough power.

Definitely top 2 we've produced but he's not elite. This fight showed it.

He was winning the fight. Which was no walk in the park for all those rounds.

Parker made a fatal mistake, when Wardley dropped his hands and mocked Joe for lacking power, Parker stood there and bought into the bs.

That was when my heart sank, Parkers movement and hand speed should have won that fight, but he stood there like he wanted some respect, dumb mistake, it cost him his ranking as the second best boxer in the world.

Parker did a lot of great things in that fight, he certainly did enough for the money men to want to see him fight Wardley again.

Did he cop a low blow?

Nah I said he should have taken a knee too.

He was taking too many shots, the Ref probably should have done a standing eight count.

He should have either taken a knee or at least tied up Wardley in that fight, but he never did.

Joe had him in trouble a bunch of times, but Wardley tied him up immediately.
