Who watched this after the wilder fight
Wilder should've watch this fight to learn how to box 😂😂😂😂😂
Me
Notice how the ref never ever lets Parker close the distance in the same way he did against Wilder, breaks them up instantly and creates distance
@richardfisher8460 at the time I didn't appreciate the win cuz it wasn't a KO. but seeing today I think aj displayed a phenomenal performance
@@mrpullafastone I personally think he did ok, but the ref neutralised Parkers only real option.. if the ref let them brawl, it's a much closer fight
The ref everytime they come close : "Come on guys we're all friends here no need for fighting"
I know right?? Like what the fuck mann...this is a contact sport.
@@babyjoe_679 . boxing contract ok men??? It includes the terms and one of the things that money and health must be guaranteed for both boxers
@@tribds999 only necessary if either fighter is badly hurt, where for in this case? i ain't...
@@babyjoe_679 yeah.. Oin't.
Zoom
Shouldve given the belt to the ref...he landed more hands to both of them
Lol
I said that once and all the Joshua fans hated that comment hehehe I'm a fan of both guys but called it exactly the same way. They weren't even tied up and the ref was separating them. He spoiled that fight for sure.
, 7daysandalotmoretodo.but,itwouldtake
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Fck that ref was a madness
AJ throws a punch.. Commentators: thie is why aj is so exciting lol
Commentators; This is why AJ is so exiting Ruiz: lmao
@@kevinarzola4781 Ruiz: I had a lot on my plate AJ: Lmao
Truth Hurts well they did fight in that big ass 22 footer ring lol Doesn’t count unless it’s in NY or UK. That ring isn’t even regulation lol
@@Callitwhatitis Lmao epic timing and reply
Kevin Arzola Cry more.
Antony joshua is the big champion, much love from belgium
Parker *goes on the offensive* Ref: Wait, that's illegal
True
38:34 looked like a palm strike from Joshua. Im no expert though.
getting aggressive is exactly what Andy Ruiz Jr did. Whens that fight getting uploaded?
Ref gave the belts to Joshua clear
Very true
43:10 "You can't do THAT guys! Fighting isn't allowed!"
what on earth was he getting involved there for!!
Wat The fuck was that. Poorest referee in a long time. Didn’t let the fighters engage into a battle. What a shame 🤦♂️
and people say Wilder can beat Jousha 🤡🤡🤡
Aj beats Fury and Wilder Fury and Wilder are both hype jobs
Aj will never beat fury if fury trained correct , fury would jab his face off
@@dubmcstep2645 fury drowned in blood just to a points decision, against otto wallin, and went life and death the whole 12 rounds, and jousha knocks out otto wallin, with in round 5, that there just shows you the Levels between the two fighters, Jousha puts Fury to Sleep, and its not even close.
@@theChaos1 if you had any knowledge of boxing you would know that's not how it works
@@dubmcstep2645 I have Knowledge about boxing not do I only watch boxing but I do boxing I been in the Repton boxing club for about 7 years, so trust me I know, Anthony would beat fury, and that’s the honest truth,
Such poor refereeing, every time the fighters got close he broke them up, ruined what could have been a really entertaining fight
Exactly; Parker's only chance was to get inside and work AJ's body, but the ref was CLEARLY not gonna let that happen. Absolute bullshit.
@@nofam iv been saying this for months bit people criticise Parker for doing shit.. but I'm sure aj RAN away from. one point in the figjt not sure which round 😆😆
@@originalnutzie4409 thats funny coz aj best work was on the inside lol how parker got his cut
@@kingindanorth0072 beats me but that refs is a dick
Again. The referee only got involved maybe a hand full of time to break them up on the inside; because parker was on the outside most of the times; parker was even the one who kept holding when they got close; the referee wasn’t great but i have seen far worse; joshua is probably the best inside fighter in the division so who knows what would of happened
Referee ruined the fight in my opinion 🤷♂️
Alagander a lot more action could’ve happened if it was a different ref
@Some Phaggot shut up
Ned Vale yes
Some Phaggot you clearly know nothing about boxing
You can't blame the Referee, even though he broke the holding up too soon time. Both fighters should have used their height more by using the jab. Jospeh Parker should have used the jab more to set up his right hand, instead of fighting sloppy.
Not that parker was going to win, but the only way was to get inside the referee took that away from him, referee sucked
DELBERT MONTGOMERY probably would’ve won if he could get in the inside
@@Ollie-lz5hr Or get a devastating uppercut into his face while inside.
KoA nah joshua don’t like people being close to him Parker would’ve put him down
@@Ollie-lz5hr I agree with that as Well, but Joshua's uppercut on Vladimir Klitchko was from the inside. He also floored Andy Ruiz in the first fight from the inside.
KoA true but joshua admitted in an interview that the uppercut was out of desperation and instinct
I'm a big AJ fan but come on..that Ref was terrible. Parker would of done so well close range but that ref kept on interfering everytime. That just favours AJ even more. Just let them box. They need a rematch with a different referee.
Idk what the f you and others are complaining about because the ref only got involved in rd 4 & so on ever since he saw parker bum rush AJ leading with his head and getting in a clinch. Later in the fight neither one clinched but AJ & parker were in position to and the ref separated before it went to clinch that was premature but aj was winning in that exchange b4 ref stepped in-not losing. Later parker got in some cheap body shots in during the clinch before separation and aj retaliated with a glancing uppercut yet only he was warned not to hit in separation when parker did it first. There was no ref favoring aj majority of the fight. That is a false rumor. Aj outclassed parker and wouldve won on pts without that ref.
@@AndresFnt AJ was holding Parker's head down and trying to uppercut him.. He did it 3 or 4 times in this fight, and luckily it only landed once.. That's a dick move.
It seemed AJ was about to end Parker when they got in it looked like the ref was splitting them for Parker's benefit
And you rhink AJ would have jusr stood there and watch? Your brain is in reverse mate..if Parker fights inside all AJ needs to do is grab hold and ref has no choice but break em up..common mate, Parker fighting inside will be negated easily...🤣😂🤣🤣
The referee absolutely killed this fight!
how?
@@rb9888 By nnot letting Parker fight inside ??? He broke them apart AS they both were throwing, wtf bro ?
Parker didn't really want it anyway. You didn't see him complaining to the ref or really trying to get busy with AJ.
@@myAutoGen Parker is sometimes too nice. He was just happy to be in such a big fight
@@elboxeo403 yeah, so as bad as the ref was, I'm primarily blaming Parker for this drab fight
I was there. What a fantastic whole weekend. The build-up!, meeting the boxers and promoters!. And the fight, only thing that let it down was the ref.
that is one thing i want to do before i die
Joshua is very humble guy! I love you Good Anthony! Let's go!!! Keep up boy!!!
Who's here after Parker v Wilder
Need a rematch these two both great fighters.
Parker isn't great. He's average.
@@razrsliq7623 average??? he was world champ and the fastest hw wtf you be watching or is it because the ref was saving ajs backside made Parker look shit 🤔🤔
@@razrsliq7623 average gets knocked out you omelette
Parker needs to beat Whyte in a rematch, or at least beat some other top 10 HW before I'd care about an AJ rematch, he got pretty soundly beaten

Two of the most humble heavyweight fighters I have ever seen. I much prefer it to the macho characters who can't back up their talk with game.
I love the smile of AJ and his confidence. Was very respectful to each other till 12th rounds.

Roid God
I read the comments in the buildup of the video and I never expected Joshua to be this dominant, I thought he almost lost the fight had it not been for the referee. Instead he definitely outboxed and lit up Parker.
Yeah lit the place up with the most Boring performance of his career and literally wiped out a nice chunk of his fan base. Referee ruined the fight for the boxers and the fans, wake up 😂
Joseph Parker is now one of my favorite modern boxers
And the new... WBO Heavyweight Champion of the Worlddddd.... AJ... Anthony.... JOSHUAAAAA!
Not anymore.
AJ is so awesome 🙌🏼
Best man best boxer best son he taken all bens everyone for him, i love him. Thank you
AJ, best heavyweight of this era and he's only just started pretty much.
BillyCBoxingFan absolutely..
Took his eye off the ball, underestimated a very good fighter in Ruiz, paid with a bad loss. What's worse is it wasn't a 1 punch "lucky" KO, he got outclassed and beat up. That's why I love boxing. And there's no better person to dethrone him than Ruiz. Good, humble guy.
BillyCBoxingFan 💯
A lot of folk believe this was boring... I’m like “what??” These men showed some serious skill set !! Love them both... hoping one day soon we will see part 2 😎👊👊👊
agree amazing skillz
They showed some truly impressive skills but the ref kept breaking the momentum. Every time there was some good action the ref broke the apart
I find most people are overly critical of Joshua, I think he is a decent fighter.
Well AJ just called out Parker so we might be seeing the rematch soon

Aj I hope you read the comments your awesome keep up the good work your the best heavyweight champ and you need to make your name The Recking Ball Anthony Joshua
Love you man, from egypt
Can you Brit’s honestly tell me Parker didn’t do enough because the ref didn’t let him. Observe the fight watch whenever Parker tries to get in close Joshua uses the jab... whenever Parker gets past Joshua’s jab he grabs knowing the ref will let him reset out of range again. Parker fought two men this night!
Parker was only 26 at this time. That’s very young for such a big heavyweight fight
Around the same age AJ was vs Vlad. These guys achieved success early
Spence made me a fan of boxing. AJ got me in the ring. Much love from TX and the USA! #TeamSpence #TeamAJ
What part of Tx I’m form Houston, Texas
Counter punch Julian Martinez I’m from Funky Town. Peep my video “Risen” on my channel fam.
Aye, Texas love in the building!!! From Houston myself. AJ and Spence are on the favorites list as well.
Fear resides within us. Big facts!
Spence is from the UK
I think the commentators took away from Parker skills, because Parker negated Joshua right hand. Some of the combinations been thrown by Joshua didn't land.
Bias commentary bro
You’r the best💪

me and this fight was discusing, realy shit refferee i hope he never does another fight, joeseph parker is an idiot hes supposed to be our boy but hes a fuckin pussy , and anthony joshua didnt fight very well either no body wanted to mix it up , that was a masv crowd for a shit fight they should of got a refund, what was parker doing with those stupid little hand movements between punches hes not fooling anyone with that, he looked like a little child pretending to be a boxer, he punches at joshuas gloves like hes keven barry with the mits, keven barry needs to fuck off, hes a dreamer an a nut case , joesephs going no where but down with him

Yooo I swear the ref had more hands on both of them than they did each other *TF*
I think tht was b.c. they both were using dirty tactics but more so of A.j. how im seein
Kare Bear False. He didn’t let Parker go inside because AJ lost almost every close exchange. Glad Ruiz got his fight in the US and was let fight inside
@@kevinarzola4781 aj won now
The god dude not in NY so it don’t count
Count how many times Joshua Punch Paker. Joshua win outright.
Wow the pressure of that amount of people to perform in front of, and that was a long ass journey to the ring, can’t even begin to imagine
Who's here after rumors of the upcoming Wilder vs Parker announcement?
wtf is the ref doing let them fight or Parker get in the Inside... boxing ain't the same nomore.. Parker is VERY UNDERRATED ex champ and the fastest hw on the planet 💯💯
Can you imagine the holyfield vs Bowe fight in this era it would get called off immediately
@@HR-jy1nb 🤣🤣 so true
Parker is crazy fast
The only guy to go the distance with AJ , parker is one tough mofo.
Let's be honest though, AJ just wanted to prove he could go the twelve and not rely on knockouts. He could have gotten the KO of he decided to step it up. He just cruised to a win behind his jab because Parker wasn't good enough to worry him.
@@thebiglebrowski3695 Don't underestimate Parker as he's never lost due to being knocked out!
@@callumbush1 That is a pretty moot point when he has only lost twice and one of those was to an half-assing AJ though. I don't think there is anyone who makes it to 12 2ith AJ if he goes all out. He would either knockout or be knocked out at that point. Fury would have a 1 in 100 chance but if Wilder can catch him then so can AJ.
@@thebiglebrowski3695 I'd like to see Wilder v Parker
AJ can’t go all out as he gasses hard. He picks his moments. More mature fighting from him imo. But without question he bitched out of this fight. Should have just let his lid off as he says.
parker did decently well against big Aj
He did better against Dillian Whyte. AJ outclassed Parker.
because aj let him fight longer
Very hard a breath taking match!very exciting match! Joshua is the BEST! Bravo good boy Anthony! God bless you boy!

Thanks for putting up your full fights champ. You got this Anthony. Kick uysck's arse. #TeamJoshua4Life #TwoTime
Joshua is good, but Parker too ... Nice fight ! thanks guys !
Nice fight?..it was pathetically bad!
How much did Hearn pay the ref to keep Parker from fighting on the inside? Parker is only 27 and genuinely tough. Plenty of time to develop his offence and threaten the top top guys.
I think AJ would find Parker a handful now, Parker looks bigger and stronger, AJ's game has not improved since this fight.
Tink Tong tha mas say the true ,AJ don't improve nothing ..wilder or Fury knock AJ to fuck up ,easy..
CHUITO MALAVE nope you’re just fucking stupid
@@jm21zuchiha_81 a fucking bias sore dingbat with a fucking fish brain...easy to spot them...lol!
@@MrKanwebrown yea it is easy to spot wilder fans
The ref absolutely killed this fight !!!! Put Parker’s game plan out the window Very strange 🧐 Mafioso
He disadvantaged both of them and not Just parker alone.
No way it suited AJ more , Parker’s game plan was shot to bits SHOCKING
@@randomas5565 AJ is more dangerous inside than outside so your point lacks credibility
He actually would’ve been against Parker ! And he knew it and said it himself hence why he boxed at range , Parker range wasn’t as long as AJ and that’s why he was trying to ruff him on the inside.
Alfonce Gwatidzo no your statement lacks credibility. AJ is good on the inside against same size or bigger opponents not smaller guys he can’t get the signature uppercut off wen Parker’s chins tucked in his chest. The range created by the ref helped the reachier AJ that’s just fact. The fight would of went very differently if Parker was left to get his shots off up close.
Be nice to see more docs about these heavyweights. These guys are on another level. 12 rounds of just getting hammered on my someone with a knockout punch his arsenal at any time. Love these guys!
I see the same errors he had with Ruiz here but Parker is not taking opportunity of them like Ruiz did
Wtf are u talking about, this was his best performance. Hands held high and close to the chin, using his legs to skip in & out of range, using body & head jabs and ripping power shots to the body when the head is unreachable, throwing a 1-2 body to head power combination to catch the opponent by surprise. You armchair critics are unbelievable
You are right bro the same error
The difference is Parker is backing up and maintaining his distance. Ruiz doesn’t take a step back and looks to close the gap even under fire.
Same Parker won Ruiz
Parker couldn't do it because the reff broke then up every time parker had a chance to get in some good work on the inside
AJ is the best for now.
AJ the LANDLORD. I can’t wait to see your fight here in America.

Nah Parker won. Ruiz was attacking more but hitting Parkers boxing gloves.

Joseph got bad luck with the referee but he's so gracious in defeat. looking forward to a potential comeback
either way there is no way he would have won.
archie baldwin I agree he would lost fight either way
Please watch the fight without sentiments, watch like a judge
its not really bad luck when the ref was paid off
The bout that showcased AJ has skills aswell as KO power
unlike Wilder
You are 100 💯 percent the best Anthony Joshua
that was a nice fight apart from the referee...I like when the guys smiled at each other time to time. Respect for both of them.
I actually felt sorry for Parker after learning his story, overall a humble dude, another 30 seconds and he’d of beat Dillian who was gassed, at that weight stamina is everything and folks need to understand the biological effects on their bodies and what it can and cannot do, you don’t get oxygen to them muscles and your body starts to move in slow motion and definitely way behind your mind, run every day, run your ass off, swim your ass off, mountain climb etc, badminton, keep sharp and oxygenated, I always study fighters when they are tired.......
We love you AJ
Joshua jest najlepszy
Both fighters were great no hate ✊
43:05 what kind of cricket as referee move was that
Honestly what type of bullshit was this. It was the most exciting part of the damn fight 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Legitimate moment of contest... and the ref really doesn’t want any of it
Holding and punching, not allowed. In words of Rick Astley: "You know the rules, and so do i" 😂
Had Wilder been humble enough to watch this fight, he would have found out that Packer's work rate stays till the last minute.
amazing
"I am the new unified heavyweight champion of the world" That look sends chills to rivals
Hey
Yo
The referee totally ruined this fight by stopping them everytime they tried to have a tear up. I think if he had let them just slug it out AJ would have overpowered Parker for the KO eventually.
Agreed - fairly boorish fight
I don't think aj could have ko'd parker he took whytes best and got up like it was nothing we breed them tougher down here #nzallday #parkerfastesthandsintheheavyweightdivision and on top he's samoan hard head to knock out I just cant see aj doing it
AJ has the power to knock anybody out. Parker is tough and i do like him but i think the ref always jumping in when the heavy exchanges started going off helped Parker because if you've watched AJ's past fights he's devastating when he's right up in your face swinging away. Anyway if that bitch Wilder won't get in the ring with AJ i reckon a Parker rematch would be interesting since he's the only guy AJ hasn't stopped yet.
@@reggieking1045don't get me wrong I do like aj and he has some good power just hasn't got enough power to ever ko parker the ref braking it up suits aj as parker was digging the body it was actually a great technical fight probably one of the best technical fights in recent years from both boys
A good example is 53:30
In this fight A.J was perfect! I wish he keeps this kind of footwork, increase his vicious ways, and in this fight he showed he wasn't tired
Yes
Ref ruined this fight. Protected Joshua and even frustrated the fighters.
Better win the next fight
Damn this was fix.

@@tonypowell250 cheers mate
What I saw before that timestamp is AJ successfully move in on Parker and punch him and successfully move away from Parker and continue to land on him! AJ kept his arm out to keep Parker at bay and but never did AJ clinch him and Parker didn't clinch either- but it looked like AJ was about to clinch because the action was so fast- but in that action AJ was never at a disadvantage! he always had great footwork in that exchange and great defense and offense so if the ref hadn't gotten involved Parker was gonna either get stunned in a counter or continue hitting air! I watched it at 0.25 speed and even the punches i thought landed for Parker- didn't! AJ is smart! - he landed on Parker but parker couldn't land back- all without a clinch- and the ref involvement wasn't even a deciding factor- aj out-skilled him!
Perfect player joushy
Fantastic job Anton joshua
so far, the hardest match for joshua. finally a good opponent
Joseph is 2 years younger then big Josh.. does Parker have a bright future you reckon mate? His loss to Whyte was a step back but time will tell.
