Despite the two knockdowns, one of which was clearly to the back of the head, the most impressive thing about the Parker win was that he was able to back Zhang up at times and land his own power punches, one that wobbled Zhang for a moment on the highlights.

Great fight, watched it a few times now, it is what the fans want to see, everyone loves a fighter that gets up off the canvas and wins, doing it twice has earned JP mad respect among boxing fans.

Zhang looked a bit like he had swallowed the hype, the way he tried to staunch JP out made me laugh, sure his is a dangerous fighter, but JP is from a background where using intimidation only helps his mindset.

Zhang can take a shot but, he shook off some heavy hits. Parker was always going to be the busier fighter, so credit to him for getting up and reminding everyone that if you cannot knock a fighter out, boxing is won on points.

Hopefully we get less boxing hype during NRL360 now another Aussie hope has been humbled.

I'll take interest in their boxers but when I'm watching league shows I want to hear about league not them grifting for PPV buys.

Lomachenko is good to watch.

The commentary was like a video game with Bradley. Chess vs Checkers, plumber working in a basement.

Oh wait there is a Warriors game on. This was less stressful.

Flat footed Kambosos vs elite footwork Lomachenko, that fight was only going one way. He’s getting older but still great to watch.

I love seeing some of the videos of his training. Doing hand eye co-ordination, dancing so he can use both feet.

If you are going to be a professional athlete that is the type of attitude you need to your training.

The big one on the weekend. The Undisputed Heavyweight fight.

I woke up this morning to my YT feed with Fury's father with blood pouring down his face from head-butting someone.

The two fighters are in different rooms doing interviews and then hear a ton of racket. They are trying to stay relaxed and their entourage are outside chanting and carrying on.

I used to enjoy watching John Fury but he seems to have let the attention he is getting all from his sons' success get to him. He even wanted to fight Mike Tyson. I'm pretty sure their careers were around the same time. You weren't good enough to fight the man in your prime.

I did find it funny on one video where the British journalists were saying Carl Frampton has travelled to the fight and will report on what happened.
Carl Frampton "I'm still at home I haven't travelled yet. I know about as much as you guys".

He did describe his altercation with John Fury and said it was intimidating due to the size difference. This link has the clip of the head but and it does look like he saw someone smaller he could surprise.

Fury did well to swing that fight in the middle rounds. Usyk also did well turning it around in the later rounds.

An interesting fight.

Like Joshua, Fury would have found out how exhausting it is to fight Usyk. He keeps you on your toes in range throwing faints.

The fight being delayed would have helped Fury get a more time to get in shape. Think it would have been different in February as there were rumours Usyk was training the house down while Fury was struggling.

I can agree on a close fight (clear all rounds to one fighter). I got nervous hearing the judges names next to the cards as that usually means split or a draw is coming up.

It will be interesting to see who is in Fury's corner for the re-match.

He does change trainers quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if they move on from Sugar Hill even though he likely isn't to blame and it was a split decision.

I could see his father wanting to train him. He has often said "No one knows how to train my boy, but me".

His father was giving some okay advice early in the fight. But it should have been more Sugar Hill giving him advice. Unless his father was translating it to gypsy. Near the end it looked like Fury was getting different advice from the two of them.
