"An awful night". Wilder's coach commented on defeat to Parker
“Bad night in the office. First of all, Joseph Parker and Andy Lee – they had a hell of a gameplan. Joseph Parker’s chin wasn’t over his front, a couple of times he was heavy-footed I thought that Deontay could continue to be patient, jab and make him run into something, but his chin never went over his front. He fought methodical. He had a game plan and he stuck to it.
The best man won, congratulations to Joseph Parker. I’ve got nothing but genuine love and respect for him … He’s one of the best heavyweights in the world. There wasn’t no shame in losing to Joseph Parker.
We had an awful night. There’s a few things that he could’ve done more of, he could’ve done right. He came out of his base a lot. His chin came up a few times. The jab, it wasn’t filling blank spaces. All of of times in the fight nothing was going on, and that was good for Parker, not good for Deontay.” told Scott for Boxing Social.
