Joseph Parker, DEC
I imagine this will be a fairly comfortable UD win for Joseph Parker but he won't have it all his own way and there will almost certainly be times when Junior Fa causes him some problems but like I said, he should win it.

That's interesting to know! I didn't really look at their amateur records because I felt that once they've had as many pro fights as they have, their game would've improved and evolved drastically since then. Much like how Dillian Whyte beat Anthony Joshua in an amateur fight but when they fought each other as professionals, Joshua destroyed him. Both Junior Fa and Joseph Parker have a lot of professional experience now so I'd expect this fight to look completely different to their amateur fights.

Junior Fa, DEC
Real chance of an "upset" here IMO. Yes, Parker was a World Champion but what does that even mean nowadays? Yes, he's fought much better competition but he lost comfortably to Joshua, a good fight with Whyte in which they both dropped each other but really Whyte was dominating all fight until tiring and getting caught in the last round. Then his fight vs Andy Ruiz, I really think Ruiz won that comfortably and if it wasn't in New Zealand Ruiz would've had the win. Also the Hughie Fury fight, I think Fury won that too, it was a terrible fight so no one really won! My point is that Parker is not an elite Heavyweight. These guys are pretty evenly matched and also Fa has beaten Parker several times in the amateurs. Yes, pros is a different game but still it counts for something. Maybe I'm wrong but I think Fa will win a decision here and at near 8 to 1 I am definitely chucking a cheeky 10er on him!!!

Another ROBBERY!!!!!
Predictions: 7 of 7 Winners, 5 Perfect, 550 Points | 1st Place
Luckily I changed my pick last minute because the judges absolutely jobbed Junior Fa!!!! 2 of them had it 11 rounds to 1 in favour of Parker!!! WT??????
****** hell! Gotta feel bad for Junior Fa. That was his chance to get himself a World Title fight. He won that for everyone watching apart from 3 blind, more like corrupt old ass judges!!! Now he'll be stuck fighting random old Heavyweight in New Zealand instead of getting a shot at a big fight.
I love boxing but it continues to give me reasons to hate it!!!

To be fair. It was a **** fight and performance from both fighters!!! It was OK for a couple of rounds then they both got tired and just clinched, held, broke, fell back into the clinch for the rest of the fight.
If the judges gave it to Parker by 1 round I wouldn't really say anything, I thought Fa won by 3 or 4 but a lot of rounds were **** and your deciding who clinched better!!!
But for 2 judges to only give Fa 1 round???? That's utterly ********!!!

Honestly, I don't even bother checking the leaderboards for boxing events anymore as I just assume that you'll win again!
