“In the second round, the gumshield went out, and the referee stopped the action, and at the end … [Parker] wasn’t throwing any punches back,” Warren said. Indeed, under heavy fire in Round 2, a hurt Parker spat out his mouthpiece, giving himself a brief respite. And the entire fight was brutal, with both men throwing and absorbing punishing blows throughout. A single moment in the second round doesn’t necessarily justify the stoppage nine rounds later, though, even if it was proof Wardley could hurt Parker.
