While the second round saw Parr assert himself a bit more with his roundhouse
kicks to the body, it was Humby who maintained his speedy presence. A well timed Humby sidekick to the
midsection put Parr on his back momentarily.
By the third round, though, Parr had seen enough and uncaged the beast in himself. "Our plan was for me to pick my shots in the first two rounds and pick up the pace in the third," claimed Parr, I opportunity knocked for Pare then a missed spinning backfist I by Humby left his face exposed. Parr capitalized with two big right hands, the second of which caught the American flush on his chin. Parr proceeded to restrict Humby's movement by cutting off the ring. With 40 second remaining in the round, he delivered another strong right hand that left Humby pinned against the ropes. "He showed a little bit of emotion, so I kept on him after that," said Parr. A barrage of punches later, Humby was forced to take a standing eight count. Parr |

did not let up as he connected with another right hand to set up a second barrage. After Humby took a second standing
eight count, his corner decided he had taken enough punishment and threw in the towel with six seconds left in the round.
Parr's second consecutive win left him the talk of the Muay Thai world in North America, but without a definitive next fight. "I'm not afraid of anyone," said the confident winner of the 2000 Super 8 tournament in Thailand during the prestigious King's Birthday event. During his four year stay in the motherland of Muay Thai, he fought on a total of four King's Birthday cards and was victorious in all but one. K 1 has since expressed an interest in having him showcase his skills during their future events held in the United States, as has Warner for his future pay per view cards. "I'll fight anyone, anytime." |
