This moment last night π₯Ή Rob Hodgins has coached @FabioWardley since day one. Together, theyβve gone from white collar shows to the brink of fighting one of the greatest ever for all the belts. Itβs absolutely extraordinary. We should be so proud ππ» #itfc #wardleyparker

The right to the temple where Parker delays and then flops back towards the ropes. That's the one. Foster is ready to jump in then. In the context of the end of round 10 and the onslaught leading up to this, I think that's understandable.
What do you think of the stoppage?

"Northern towns" aren't a blank canvas of thickos for you to project your white nativist fantasies onto. Just like Caerphilly wasn't, which is why you had your arses handed to you. We're not like you. Fuck all the way off.

I'm sorry, but if Foster is catching heat can we please reserve some for the judge who had it 98-92 Parker at the time of the stoppage. That's a disgrace.
Parker was up 98-92, 96-94, 95-95 at the time of the shitty stoppage by the usually terrible Howard Foster, who has fucked up fights for decades. #boxing #ParkerWardley

This. I think a lot of the reaction is because it's Howard Foster, who can never escape Froch v Groves. He probably called it early last night, but it's not even in the same ballpark as that all-time howler.
Parker was out on his feet at the end of the 10th and saved by the bell. He gets hurt in the 11th, 30 punches unanswered before he fires back, gets hurt again by a right hand. Ref could've said "Show me something" and done a bit better job, but it is what it is. Wardley wins.

This is where I am on the stoppage. Wardley looked like he'd gassed out, so it's not great, but I can't believe a guy with Parker's experience didn't throw back or hold.
If youβre Parker, youβre fuming. Itβs a huge fight and you want to at least have to go down and take a count if youβre getting stopped. But also, u know if youβre getting knocked around when on the ropes and looking in trouble u have to clinch, land some punches back and look

A properly brilliant heavyweight fight that means one of the greatest amateurs of all time will fight a bloke with four white-collar fights in lieu of an amateur career for all the marbles. What a sport. Fabio Wardley is a marvel. https://t.co/0R7ogV5q2Y

Fabio Wardley earned his shot at Oleksandr Usyk with an astonishing slugfest victory over Joseph Parker at the O2 Arena,

Seems like most have Parker narrowly in front, which I'd have no qualms with. I have it all four apiece after a quality eighth from Wardley. Such a good fight.

Joseph Parker puts his interim WBO heavyweight title on the line against knockout artist Fabio Wardley in London. Oleksandr Usyk could be up next for the winner.

I understand the financial imperatives that move promoters towards PPV in order to give fighters big paydays, but come on, Frank. Parker vs. Wardley is a great heavyweight fight that zero casual fans will watch because it's on a specialist subscription app behind two paywalls.
