Reasonably comfortable decision to Parker in the end. Massey improved as the fight went on.
Critics will point out that Parker should have knocked a pumped up cruiserweight out though I’m sure. Probably not the convincing win he’d have hoped for.
I’ll stop talking to myself now

A decision is like a loss for Parker. Andy Lee might say that Massey was negative but Parker needed to find some answers and be busier.
Massey was tough. Took some pretty big hits.
Yes, but the shots were from Parker. That has always been his problem, a lack of a reasonable punch.

I said “pretty big”
Parker has decent enough power but you’re right, not compared to others. He did look to have improved this a few fights back though.

Parker's problem was a lack of combinations. He landed that good uppercut but failed to follow that up with other punches.
Just another fight that proves what we all know.
He’s “there and there abouts” without really having the goods to beat the very top fighters. Losses to Joshua and Joyce prove that.
No way would he trouble Fury or Wilder based on what we just saw.

Can Fury bring as much heat as Joe?

“I think Jake Paul would kill Tommy Fury”
Next sentence…..
“I don’t know how good Jake Paul is”
Hats off to Joe for shooting this imbecile down

@MiketheSnow hahaha. it's sad how the common man does not see skills unless someone is world elite. I see it on here with rugby players all the time.
Tommy fury out boxes 99.999% of the world population.

Was it one of the Klitschkos who said everyone is an expert on boxing but no one boxes yet no one is an expert on chess but everyone plays ?
I hit the heavy bag ( which I love ) and have done a bit of light sparring. The dedication to be a top fighter is extraordinary and something the average joe would have no idea about. Even doing this has made me fitter and more conditioned at 45 than I ever was in my 20s and 30s.
Top fighters to me are THE ultimate all round athletes if you take every factor into it ( skill, toughness, strength, power, speed, heart etc )
It is human nature to have a go though, I’m fairly sure George Bridge would runs rings around any ferner who marked him in a game of touch for example despite all the criticism.

Just on the boxing/fitness thing. When I took up veterans rugby in oz I found that using a heavy bag and gloves at home really help 'toughen' the old body for impacts. I guess it was that rebounding 'jarring'.

Yeah although I wonder about the wisdom of doing it too much. Sometimes the shoulders/elbows ache after a session….and not in a good way.

Who watched Joe Joyce vs Zhilei Zhang? It sounds like he (Joyce) got beaten up.
Didn’t see it but yeah, good call. His eye was fucked. Right decision made.
Joyce looked invincible against Parker but seems to have been brought down to earth a bit. I have a feeling he might get him in a rematch though.
