You may consider that Joseph Parker and Duco Promotions Limited are also interested parties. The Complainants consider that the scoring of two of the judges of the bout, John Madfis and Terry O’Connor, do not properly or correctly reflect the contest that took place during the above mentioned bout. Both judges scored the contest in favour of Joseph Parker by 118 to 110 points as compared to the other judge, Rocky Young, who scored the bout as a draw at 114 each (which we still consider to be extremely generous towards Joseph Parker).
