Result: Joshua Buatsi by Points
This fight was insane because I had it so different to the commentators. They had it a shutout for Parker while I thought Buatsi was winning quite clearly. I don’t get what they were seeing because Parker was missing and hitting gloves a lot and Buatsi landed more punches. I think they just went for Parker’s punch output and body language but who cares because it’s about punches landed. Also this ref was shockingly bad. Let Parker away with everything and how Parker didn’t get a point taken away I’ll never know. Both guys boxed well enough but Buatsi was definitely a step below where he was a couple fights back. Parker was better than expected but such an annoying performance from him with all the hugging and falling on the floor. Glad the judges got it right.
