Watch: John Wayne Parr appreciates Robin Black's analysis of his power jab

John Wayne Parr recently retired and took his rightful spot in the annals of combat sports legends. He lost a hard-fought bout at ONE X against former MMA champion Eduard Folayang.

MMA analyst Robin Black took to Twitter for a one-minute technical breakdown of Parr's power jab alongside Muay Thai veteran Kru Joe. Black began by stating how both he and Joe loved the Muay Thai legend.

Kru Joe continued with the breakdown:

"One thing we know about John Wayne is he throws every punch with power! Traditionally, a jab rolls forward right off your shoulder straight in, straight line. What [John Wayne Parr] does is he pulls his hand back, pulls his shoulders back, almost like you're drawing a bow, a bow and arrow. And then he throws that jab as hard as he possibly can."

Kru Joe and Robin Black then compared a normal jab to John Wayne Parr's power jab. 'The Gunslinger', always happy and smiling, was grateful to the two for the breakdown and responded:

"Thank you gentlemen"

John Wayne Parr flattered by fan $50K performance bonus

After a vote by ONE Championship fans, Parr walked out of ONE X $50,000 richer. Seven performance bonuses were awarded by the organization and the eighth was voted on by fans. The 45-year-old won the performance bonus after garnering almost 42% of the votes.

Parr was so moved by the fan vote that he shed tears when informed of the news, saying:

“This feels better than a world title. Very happy.”

Interestingly, the Australian revealed on Twitter that he nearly retired before his fight at ONE X. He had called Chatri Sityodtong in December to inform him of his decision to hang up the gloves, before the ONE Championship CEO convinced the legend to take one final fight.

Parr retired with a strong legacy in Muay Thai, as a world champion with 99 wins in his professional career. His daughter, Jazzy Parr, has continued the family name and legacy in combat sports. She has already won multiple national Muay Thai championships and competes in professional boxing as well.
