FULL FIGHT | Joseph Parker Vs Junior Fa (2021)

Parker's UK promoter Eddie Hearn said he wanted to see the type of performance that could have him standing on a mountaintop screaming "Joseph Parker’s back". A game Fa ensured Hearn could put away the hiking boots for now as he frustrated Parker with his impressive footwork over 12 rounds, though the former WBO world champion did enough to secure a unanimous decision victory. No one was disputing the result but Parker's trainer Kevin Barry admitted the scorecards "flattered us a little bit". While undoubtedly happy to have his hand raised, the 29-year-old was also quite hard on himself after the final bell. New Zealand boxing heavyweight Joseph Parker has claimed a unanimous points victory over countryman Junior Fa but the boxing world has erupted over crazy scores. The former WBO titleholder was expected to claim the victory over the undefeated Fa but amid countless clinches and a largely even match, many believed it would head right down to the wire if it went to the cards. But it wouldn't be boxing without an insane scorecard with Parker claiming the victory with a 119-109, 115-113 and 117-111 win. One of the commentators said "Sorry, 119-109, one of those judges needs a new prescription". #Josephparker #Juniorfa #samoamedia @SamoaMediaNZ
