Though Parker, now 26-2 (18 KOs), appeared to have done enough to win, the case for the prosecution was hardly helped by the messy, unsatisfactory nature of the fight. In most rounds Parker and Buatsi did far more missing than landing, and more holding than initiating, and it was difficult in many of these rounds to separate them. Referee Michael Alexander found it difficult to separate them, physically speaking, and the judges, too, were clearly having difficulty deciding which of the two fighters was gaining the upper hand in the fight.
