Parker (white trunks) in the 9th round at Maple Leaf Stadium on July 25, 1956. The Associated Press reports: "Archie Moore, San Diego, Calif., chopped up James J. Parker with the greatest of ease last night. Referee Billy Burke called a TKO in 2:02 of the 9th. The outclassed lanky Toronto heavyweight dripped blood from cuts around the left eye and was absorbing heavy punishment while pinned against the ropes when the end came. Parker was in way over his head with the old master. Moore at XXX 1/2 gave away XX 3/4 pounds, almost X inches in height and X inches in reach and still outjabbed his opponent. He feinted Parker into a pretzel and sliced the left eye as early as the 4th." "Before the 9th, I had him where I wanted him. He was floundering around but I didn't want to take any undue advantage and hurt him. He's a good kid and I didn't want to spoil his future." -Archie Moore. "Moore never hurt me, although I couldn't see out of the eye from the 4th on. Don't believe all that stuff about Archie being XX years old. That's all malarkey. He can really step." -James J. Parker. Parker, 29-7-4 with XX KO wins, would only fight twice more; scoring a 4th round TKO of journeyman (1-8-0) Tommy Black in Ottawa, then being KO'd in the 1st round by George Chuvalo (then 14-2-1) in September of 1958 at Maple Leaf Gardens in a bout for the then vacant Canadian Heavyweight Title.
