You know it's pretty flat when you can hear the TV commentary who are sat about a couple of metres from me.Although, there are significantly more people in here than when Joshua fought Otto Wallin in the Day of Reckoning card in December.Parker is throwing plenty in this round but Zhang is happy to stand in front of the Kiwi and soak up those shots on his gloves.Parker doesn't seem to been wearing that knockdown too much as he lands a sharp one-two.
Zhang might be just waiting for that one moment to throw in the hope of using his incredible power but, for now, Parker is doing enough to edge these rounds.Parker did manage to back Zhang up a little bit and he managed to let his hands go.He's really purposefully picking his shots and lands a nice right to the side of Zhang's head.
Now he goes to the body and the referee calls a halt to the fight as a shot strays a little low for his liking. No points deducted but a warning.
