    Good scrap from both fighters there.

    Could you imagine going drinking with Chisora? You would end up in more bar saloon fights than John Wayne.

    He reminds me of a cross between George Foreman and Danny Glover's Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon! "I'm too old for this ****!"

    Like to see Parker go for this more. Lee telling him to jab and move. Feels like Chisora is there for the taking if Parker was to put his combinations together more.

    Parker needs to step it up a notch.
    Close rounds

    Listening to the commentary on BBC. Conor Benn and Steve Bunce. Torment.

    Seems to be all Parker the last few rounds.

    Parker is obviously a very impressive athlete, and he's never been knocked out - he's always there at the end. But he doesn't have the highlight reel that you would expect for someone in his position. Always a long grind with a close result.

    Been thinking the same all night..

    Sticking snd jabbing Chisora is not great advice..

    Pretty game too. He got a very heavy knock down against Whyte early on and I thought he was out cold. Got back up and all but stopped him.

    No doubting that. But as a casual boxing viewer can someone explain what’s he in it for. He’s never gone to be a world beater. He’s 37 (I think) and he takes a lot of hits. Is there that much money for him at this stage or is it just because he’s a mad hard bast…d and is probably enjoying it.

    That 10-8 in the first will be huge on the score cards, and could make this a draw.

    Scoring all over the place on that one! Fairly mad.

    Chisora much better in his moments, but over the length of the fight, Parker had more consistency.

    All seems fair enough with that scoring. I dont think Chisora will retire just yet but I’d say that’s the end of him headlining an event. Parker will need to start better and press an advantage home. Next day out will be interesting. That was a good contest for him.

    Was that polish judge smoking crack? Should never be allowed judge a fight again. Chisora won that for me.

    116-111 for Parker a little wide for me. I might have given it to Chisora by one, think he just shaded the last round.

    Andy Lee will earn his wage getting Parker to the top.

    Andy Lee was saying he only worked with Parker for around the last 5 weeks of proper training, just enough time to hone his existing strengths and do a little work on his weaknesses, so it'll be interesting to see if he can do a bit more as time goes on.

    Fight scorecard is always a pretty good judge for me. I Didn't really watch the first 6 rounds of the Chicora vs parker match to score it myself

    this was the Taylor fight.

    I had Chisora winning first 4 rounds.

    I had Parker winning the next 7.

    The last round I think Chisora might have edged.

    7-5 to Parker with one of the 5 being a 10-8

    Very close fight particularly with the knockdown to be taken into account.
