Joseph Parker vs Zhang co-main March 8th Saudi Arabia

[oldschoolmmafan]

I mean he dropped him twice. It wasn't that outlandish of a prediction.

Very outlandish, outside of two punches the entire fight... Zhang couldn't land anything. A KO and knockdown are two very different things.

I'm really blown away by how many thought Parker deserved this win.

Maybe I I'll have to rewatch but this was one of the sketchiest decisions I've ever seen.

Parker was getting bullied the majority of the fight. Zhang was in full control up until the last 3 rounds he was coasting. I really have no idea what people are watching sometimes it's really absurd

 

[Through The Looking Glass]

I saw a guy in Parker who was getting thumped on, backing up and looking to clinch. He was getting beat up.

I thought this fight was close but thought Zhang was going to get the nod but I’ll have to rewatch it. The issue is commentary sometimes is so bias and can really throw you off.

What about Ball and Vargas. This to me was insane. Ball was hammering Vargas and ragdolling him and it was a draw. Complete shit show.

Never seen a fighter announce something like that with quite as much contempt and lack of enthusiasm lol. The rematch is next........... We have to....... It's in the contract....... (sorry). Zhang threw it away and looked like shit after the first couple of rounds

 

[RichardHarrow]

It was more of a Parker style fight. They were equal in defense and I'd give it a 60/40 for the effective aggression and punches landed. Calling it a sketchty decision is absurd. Majority Decision is an appropriate result.

I thought the same. Zhang has that Romero approach, he's on for a while then shuts down the engine and glides till the end of the round. Done very little for a better part of the fight.

I think Parker had Zhang just about figured out by the end. Zhang's also not going to get any younger.

Maybe score the fight rather than just watch it. Zhang won the first 2 rounds and the rounds with the 2 knockdowns. He clearly lost the other 8 rounds. Easy to score fight with a clear winner in Parker

What rounds did you score to zhang outside the first 3 and late knockdown round? He didn’t win any other rounds outside of those. Parker rightfully won by a couple of points on any sane scorecard

Parker won that no worries, people need to understand how boxing is scored, not throwing a single punch during a round is not gonna help.

 

[Seano]

People were way too quick to jump on the Zhang train.

I thought this fight looked like the hrgovic fight, but with a clearer winner this time (I personally scored it to hrgovic just) Zhang had the big moments, Parker won the roynds. Get zhang past 6 rounds and he’s fcked

 

[Jonny Ninja]

I only watched the highlights but it's surprising that a guy could give up 2 knockdowns and still win. Was it really that close?

Had it to Parker by 2. The fight was easy to score. The Vargas/ball fight also had two knock downs but the difference is ball was competitive in every round and won most of the last 6. That was controversial. I can’t see how anyone can give zhang any more than 4 rounds in this fight, which included his 2 knockdowns. He lost 8 rounds clearly

Ball was fucking fantastic when all said and done, most fighters would have had their head down after the first 5 rounds, not that lad. Brilliant heart shown from him.

People were also too quick to jump on the Joyce train.

I’m gutted for him though. And the size difference was ridiculous. There was enough close rounds for a draw but ball won that fight for me, just. It doesn’t sound like Vargas will give him a rematch based on his post fight interview

I had Ball too, thought he had done enough, and Vargas knew it imo.

 

[Tatra]

You’re an idiot. Joseph was getting hurt by short hooks and uppercuts. Zhang is 40 years old with zero gas Tank. Guy turned into a mouth breather by round 5

Parker's washed up. Zhang is a can whose only claim to fame was beating a human punching bag. He drew against Jerry Forrest. LOL

 

[Through The Looking Glass]

I turned the commentary off they were biased for Parker since the beginning.

People are way too swayed by commentary and fake scorecards.

It's funny because people were saying the exact opposite when Ngannou only won 2 rounds vs Fury but they said he won because of the knockdown.

And here you have Zhang who gets 2 knockdowns and is control of the fight maybe only losing one round other than the final 3 and everyone is saying he lost.

I think a lot of you guys have no idea what you're talking about and just go along with whatever the narrative is
