Crazy ending... whyte was done. Parker too exhausted to do anything about it though. Very smart holding on by whyte, he's great at roughing people up too, i think he'll give joshua a better fight than last time.

Ian John-Lewis was the difference.

He let Whyte get away with lots of dirty tactics, including the nasty headbutt that turned the fight around. And he called the false knockdown.

I knew Parker would be fighting two men in the ring when I first heard John-Lewis would be working the fight. He's the worst ref in the business, except perhaps for Lawrence Cole.

Would have been the same result.

Parker is 26 and a former world champion and will easily come again.

Whyte held on those ropes for life in the last closing seconds and still has much to learn.

The ref was very lenient on whyte :S.... whyte used a lot of smart tricks though and if the ref isn't calling them then you whyte might as well :S

I think he headbutt knockdown really rattled parker. Not sure if the ref could have seen it though

I'd have loved to have seen that back in the 15 round days

Yeah the fight was swaying this way and that. another 3 rounds could have told a different story. For either fighter.

Great night of boxing.

Question on my mind is what happens to Parker now. I would like to think he is able to work his way back for a shot at a title. I hope he is not another Zab Judah. He has already proved he can hang with the best.

Dillian seems to get better every fight i see. Ok he struggled in the latter rounds with stamina but he had Parker in more trouble than AJ did. But i suppose AJ cruised the fight rather than throw what he could have done. The Parker in the AJ fight seemed more comfortable than the Parker in the Whyte fight. Taking into consideration that styles makes fights Dillian made it more of a war and Parker couldn't take the heat. But what a warrior in the last 2 rounds. 15 rds would be nice for us fans but not for the boxers so im not calling for that.

Bah i dunno what the fuck im talkin about. Just enjoying the HW division more than i have for years.

@Alpha I told you Parker is not a top level fighter, he just had a title and matched well.

Chisora was at the ringside trying to goad Whyte to fight him.

Parker had Whyte out on his feet at the end. I had it 113-112 for Whyte, but there were some close rounds.

I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch at some stage.

Was Miller calling this on Sky? No crashing the ring or talking up Whyte after win?
