The 16 year veteran suffered a 96 second KO loss to Wilder in 2014.

It probably won’t go down in history among boxing’s greatest robberies, but Magomed Kurbanov’s unanimous decision win over Liam Smith today in Russia is certainly not without controversy. Kurbanov (22-0, 13 KO) took the fight on scores of 115-113, 115-113, and 117-112 over 12 rounds, winning a minor WBO belt and putting himself likely in line for an eliminator with Tim Tszyu, should Tszyu beat Michael Zerafa in their fight on July 7.

Parker won on two cards of 115-113 and 116-111, the latter of which is a pretty awful score, and one card going to Chisora, 115-113. Bad Left Hook had the fight 114-113 for Chisora. Chisora (32-11, 23 KO) dropped Parker (29-2, 21 KO) inside the first 10 seconds of the fight, a debatable call itself but on replay looked cleaner than not, certainly was...
