FULL FIGHT | Joseph Parker Vs Junior Fa (2021)

Parker's UK promoter Eddie Hearn said he wanted to see the type of performance that could have him standing on a mountaintop screaming "Joseph Parker’s back". A game Fa ensured Hearn could put away the hiking boots for now as he frustrated Parker with his impressive footwork over 12 rounds, though the former WBO world champion did enough to secure a unanimous decision victory. No one was disputing the result but Parker's trainer Kevin Barry admitted the scorecards "flattered us a little bit". While undoubtedly happy to have his hand raised, the 29-year-old was also quite hard on himself after the final bell.
New Zealand boxing heavyweight Joseph Parker has claimed a unanimous points victory over countryman Junior Fa but the boxing world has erupted over crazy scores. The former WBO titleholder was expected to claim the victory over the undefeated Fa but amid countless clinches and a largely even match, many believed it would head right down to the wire if it went to the cards.
But it wouldn't be boxing without an insane scorecard with Parker claiming the victory with a 119-109, 115-113 and 117-111 win.
One of the commentators said "Sorry, 119-109, one of those judges needs a new prescription".

@@mojoejojo6675 You're not wrong but Tua did have problems with straight boxers more than anything else, so as long as he could survive the first onslaught and get on his bicycle, I'd say Joe could survive.

[@adamgpreston]

Mind you the Klitschkos did that for 10 years and we all know how good there record is. Made for horrible watching. I guess they were so tall with long reaches compared to most other heavyweights that they could get away with it. I think holding should be banned because it takes away inside fighting for the smaller fighter which is to unfair. The size of Joshua,fury, wilder and others today you just can’t do that. Can’t see far being any better than around 5to 10th best in the world.

I think junior fa exposed joseph parker's repetitive foot work, he didnt allow joe to land that power straight right the whole night by stepping inwards before joe throws the right, joe continues to show that his main weapon is the 1,1 with the straight right.it is frustrating but i support parker all the way and he needs a new weapon if he wants to compete against the vicious powerhouses of the division.he is not ready for the furys or the usyks 😔

[@doncentral5516]

Well said

[@N3LU]

I wouldn’t say exposed , it’s known that Parker usually struggles with tall fighters (fury, Cojanu, Joshua) all three of those fights went the exact same as this. Fa did a good job at landing the straight and moving well but seemed like he was more happy to survive then push for a win.

Well he’s got 5 years and that’s it really. He’s not going to improve to much more and could you see him beating fury, Joshua, or even wilder? Maybe wilder if he can stay away from his right hand but I can’t see it if even fury was at his best to stay away from it. Even Ruiz or Whyte would clean fa out.

Joseph Parker vs Dereck Chisora - good fight - I think Parker is a decent favorite, Chisora is a tough, big guy, likes to be on the front foot, not bad overhand, hooks to the body, but he is quite limited to that - I think Parker can block those shots, counter with his faster hands, straight shots and edge him clearly - Parker has some chances of the KO if Chisora slows down or if he can catchhim coming in with that power 2 - pick and bet Parker My channel for fights predictions and the most solid, profitable bettingstrategy - profit in 2021 up until this date: 700%
