In a heavyweight boxing match that ended today in Saudi Arabia, Joseph Parker shocked the boxing world with an upset victory over Bronze Bomber Wilder. Parker did an excellent job of dodging Wilder's vaunted right hand and took the victory with plenty of offensive one-sidedness.
Parker executed his tactics very well in this game, either hiding out of Wilder's attack range or rushing in to suppress the opponent while looking for the right opportunity to attack. And Wilder is more about waiting than punching. Apparently he was looking for an opportunity to land a proud right hand, but as the fight wore on, Wilder failed to land the fatal blow and eventually lost the fight.
According to Compubox, Wild landed just 39 punches in total, an average of more than three punches per round. Parker threw 89 punches. In the eighth round, Parker inflicted a heavy blow on Wilder but didn't do fatal damage, but that didn't affect Parker's dominance. After the fight, Wild praised Parker: "Parker did a great job of avoiding a lot of my punches. I don't have any excuses tonight, it was a good game and I'm going to move on to the next one. ”
This fight was one of the biggest wins of Parker's career!Parker has won four straight fights since being beaten by Joe Joyce last September, and he's in a strong position at the moment. Some people are happy and some people are worried, and Wilder has only played one round in the last two years. Last October, Wild knocked out Robert Helenius in the first round. Previously, he was knocked out twice by Tyson Fury, plus this time by Parker, the 38-year-old Wilder can be said to be in a worrying situation. After the match, Wilder sent a mixed message, saying he would be back, but also expressing satisfaction with what he had achieved.
It is worth mentioning that before this match, Wilder and Joshua also agreed on a super fight. However, with the fall of Wild, the war may not be realized.
