    I remember when Cojanu was KOd by Donovan Dennis.

    How did he find a way into the Top15? Must be a faulty navigation system.

    I understand you gotta get who you can get on short notice but this a truly dreadful opponent. The only way I would find Razvan aceptable is if every other person in the top 15 said no.

    Won't go 3 rounds.
    But given the circumstances, its understandable.

    The real question is how is this guy ranked in the top 15 by a governing body??

    Garbage opponent but it's a low risk fight at short notice that keeps Parker active. The timing is good given Wilder/Bellew/AJ/klitschko future availability.

    Yeah how does that work for a fight? Opponent is replaced and It turns out to be a junk opponent. Are you able to get a refund for that kinda thing?

    No complaints. Fury screwed Parker. Cant be easy to find a great replacment at such short notice.

    I just wish they had pulled out two/three weeks ago when there would have been time to get a respectable opponent. Cojanu must be close to the worst active pro fighter with over 300 amateur bouts?

    Wilder fights this caliber of fighters as a scheduled fight. Parker HAD to fight this guy or waste a training camp due to Fury's typical irresponsible behaviour.

    this fight shouldn't last a round. would still be easy to fight on wilders requested date.

    don't forget the wbo for having ridiculous ratings.

    That is makingWolder almost look an ATG champion. Duco should have cancelled and refunded the money or at least provide the option to those are not interested in seeing this mega fight. I still remember Parker's (and his team's) big words about fighting AJ from more than a year ago. Well, AJ is fighting Wlad and Parker a bum. Tells me all I need to know about the two.
