    Not too much quality from either man from what I've seen so far. Then considering it's the hw division, it's not too surprising.

    Ruiz might be p4p the fastest puncher in the sense that he is fast for a fat dude, if you get what I mean... :lol:

    Ruiz tried harder in the 11th and probably took it. While Parker will win easy in NZ, this is a close fight

    Parker is probably at that level but with Ruiz you would think he coulda made an awesome cruiserweight... Although the competition is much stiffer there.

    Hard to say, didn't judge the fight and missed the first 3. But it's close. I may be overly rewarding Ruizthough because I expected him to get blown out (and also because Parker fights like he doesn't really want it)

    I though it was hilarious that the Fightnews article of this fight had a link to 'You may also like' article that read "Cellulite - 15 Celebs who fight the battle"

    This fight and the Horn fight showed how the touted new hotshots from Australia and New Zealand seem to have plateaued. Previously both Parker and Horn had done pretty well career wise and in the case of Horn fought strong opposition very early in his career.

    But now, rather than seeing them further developing a rock solid skillset plus new subtle tricks, they keep showing the same offensive and defensive limitations they had when they were fucking 5-0. Typical of this region's talent - strong, tough, but limited.

    They should all move to the US to train and spar with the real boxing talent.

    Not yet. Think my sister is sorting that out. I'd look like a right fairy myself looking for a fairy for a Christmas tree.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    :flag2: ....Our Jeff was scintillating! ...scintillating!....he irritated our enemy with a blow-fly bustle along the trimmings, and got popped with a head-kiss abrupting one of those little ram rollicks he likes to do, I give a squealing salute to his delicious recklessness and can't wait to see him back in the pen.

    AJ would smash Parker.

    Parker has hand speed, but he gets hit way too much and he's not holding up for 12 rounds under the AJ assault.

    But he does deserve a shot.

    Can you smell the reckoning Kauki :dunno:

    They've cut the big crackers hair and they will be bringing him to their phillistinic temple for their entertainment.

    But.........hark........a young boy is leading our man to the pillars of their odious den, placing his hands on the walls.....suffering him that he may see.

    This was my first time seeing Parker.

    He's a horrible fighter.

    Joshua, Wilder, and Ortiz would all kill him.

    He looks great blasting out bums, not so great when someone can fight back.
