Yep totally agree. And you’re not likely to successfully change the type of fighter you are at his age.
Parker needed to back Wilder up and command his respect even if he was shot. Deontay was the firm favourite coming into that fight.
Parker was the better boxer against Wardley and was winning the contest. He just got caught and it can happen in the heavyweight division.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
