    Parker is going to have to land some big hits really, REALLY soon. Ruiz probably ahead on points from the early rounds.

    Yeah definitely!

    Parker is wearing the shots well but it only takes one...

    Ruiz is still throwing but Joe doesn't seem busy enough. But the comms seem to think the jabbing is enough

    Ruiz does look frustrated - hope we see some fireworks in the last two rounds

    up against the better calibre of fighters, Joes power perhaps isnt the weapon we thought it might be

    Unless Joe gets a KO in the last round, Ruiz is probably going to take this on points.

    Hasn't looked like he wanted to take the fight to Ruiz

    Maybe just to Ruiz? Parker didn't push the fight but his accuracy was probably better.

    and a good call that Joshua or Fury won't be worried about these two

    Majority decision to Parker.

    WOW. Wasn't picking that. Maybe a draw if he was lucky!

    i thought Ruiz had done enough through the early rounds , we saw a similar thing a couple of weeks back with the Andre Ward fight ,

    but it was close thats for sure

    Yep. One of them had to show a lot more I think, to be considered a genuine threat to Fury or Joshua. Wonder if Parker will stay with Barry. Kinda think Barry has taken him as far as he can.

    First NZ heavyweight champ (unless you count Bob Fitzsimmons). Congrats where it's due.

    Dunno if Parker is one of the top 3 or 5 in the world (personally I think Luis Ortiz is the best by far) but he has got one of the main belts now.

    I know nothing about boxing but that was close.

    Joe hit him with some big ones but Ruiz just took them, sucked them up and threw some back.

    Thought Ruiz looked slightly better - kept pushing Joe back - but as I said I know nothing about boxing.

    Was hoping the comms were right that Joe had slightly the better of it but gut feel was sooo close and any of 3 results would nit gave surprised.
