Joseph Parker has split with Kevin Barry, his trainer for the last eight years. It was an amicable arrangement with Kevin Barry having returned to his training camp in Los Angeles and Parker remaining in NZ with his wife and three young girls. The decision was made after Parker’s lacklustre points win over Junior Fa.
There’s a suggestion that Parker may join Junior Fa’s camp which is also home to Israel Adesanya, UFC light heavyweight.
In the meantime arrangements are underway for Parker to meet Chisora in London in May. Their previous fight was cancelled after Parker was bitten by a spider.
Just caught up with Estrada v.Chocolatito. absolute war with some iffy scoring. Well worth a watch
Very good fight.
117-111 to Estrada was a joke the other two 115-113 either way was not off the mark. Any of three results would have been fair - very close either way or a draw.
Very close fight and I scored it 116-115 To Chocolatito with three of the rounds even (couldn't split them). Of course judges rarely give 10/10 rounds so even if all three I had even went to Estrada then a win for him 115-113 would have been fair.
Okolie on next, looking forward to seeing what he can do. He's been talked up as the next cruiserweight champ but wasn't all that impressive last fight I saw

Wish this Cordina one had been a 6 rounder, wanna see Okolie but dying to go a bed!
Opponent a patsy, I hate Okolies style but, but he looked better in his last fight and he would have done well not to look good against this guy a gun shy rusty grisled southpaw who has mixed in good company
He seems like a really nice guy and made me laugh in the post fight I cant help it I dont like his style
I know it was a free fight card but it was dull I'm having most fun watching Tony Bellews complex about his shirt buttons
I think Okolie is improving fast, moving better and using his jab much more now. He used to fall in all the time which made for some horrible, ugly fights.
One thing is for sure he KO's any Cruiserweight he hits clean - incredible power
I rate Fabio Wardley highley, but why on earth is he 1/16 to beat Eric Molina at the weekend? He will win and I know Molina is getting on, but that is ridiculously short

Throwing straight rights twisted but admiring the shot.

Bloody weird one this. Knocked out with his back turned but has to reflect poorly on the ref as well.
Think he's on the substantial milky teat of @nth_london_addick and his foray to being the next Al Haymon
