    It has been signed, booked, it's all on. I'm going to be there, probably drunk, probably will have no voice for the following week - but I'm nervously excited :)

    This is a huge huge test and I feel pretty lucky in a conflicted kind of way that I get to see the first Parker fight where it isn't a case of "He should win easy" so much as potentially being the underdog.

    Not a terrible alternative. If you see anyone in the audience punch someone in the ****, it's because I've found out who banned me from NZBoxChat when I tried to join it hahaha.

    OK, maybe not - but I'm still dark about that and the fact there is nothing I can do to question why, let alone get it lifted.

    Parker by savage KO in the first 3 rounds, Takam's style will work against him in a big way in this match.

    I'm really looking forward to this fight. This is a big test and jump up for Parker, we'll finally see him seriously tested. This is a much better fight than Joshua/Martin which I think is a foregone conclusion. This fight is actually very competitive, at least on paper.

    More or less agreed with the last two. I think Martin and Joshua are much closer matched than people seem to think. I'm not betting on either fight but Joshua and Parker winning respectively will make for the most exciting future of boxing


    Can't... IP banned by the looks

    Really? I have the feeling, Parker does not like pressure. He is effective from distance, with straight hands. I expect him to win, but it could be close.

    Yeah.. no. Very competitive fight. Takam is 60-40 favourite.
