Can Joshua-Parker, meet/exceed the expectations where Lewis-Tua failed?

The only way this will be a snoozer is if Parker is out of his depth with Joshua. If Parker can be competitive then you bet this will be a hell of a fight. Someone is hitting the canvas at some point that is the only sure thing here.

 

If you think this will be two come forward fights clashing in the center of the ring prepare to be disappointed. Parker might end up having the chin some people claim he has but that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't enjoy being hit. He's will be on his bike early looking to counter and his output will more than likely slow as the fight progresses.

Floyd Mayweather??

 

Lewis was perfectly fine with slow drawn out fights , controlled fights going by decision wins. Against Tua he was content with 12 rounds just like his Holyfield fights.

Joshua is not that kind of fighter , he's even more willing to try and end fights more than Mike Tyson was BC he doesn't let opponents coast not even after mid rounds. He will go at you long or short distances and wants you to get close in clinches, it would make fights much easier for him.


No way does this resemble Tua fight, BC if Parker is still standing at the end we should see him take quite a beating here. Unless Parker version 3.0 shows up that's what exactly is going to happen.

 

Drenlou this is a really poor comparison bro.

How did you dream this up and why do you think it could be a 12 round snoozer?

Joshua doesn't even know how to fight a snoozer yet. He gets tired every fight and starts throwing hayemakers.

 

Nice write up. I do believe there is no chance of a dull affair. Merely due to the fact that both guys are closer in size than bloody Tua Lewis. Tua lewis was meant to be exciting because of Tua. He was simply too small to have an impact. Parker Joshua has two players, one that is exciting and one that can be exciting and one of them isn't a foot shorter than the other. It has too many ingredients for being an eventful night. If it is surprisingly dull, then maybe expectations will exceed the event. But, Tua Lewis is a paragon of dullest title fights in history and will be hard to top in terms of expectations not reached.

 

LOL thats a nice one.

 

Hah I loved Lewis after that fight :
"I was doing all the work in the fight. If you come to war, you have to bring your whole arsenal, not just a left hook and a haircut."

As for the fight in question it should surpass the Lewis Tua fight. In that one it was apparent from pretty early that it would be tactical jab fest and the only real drama was the super small chance Tua could land something big to turn it around.

 

Well, when it comes to heavyweight, we will just have to wait and see.
It could be a war, or tactical, it could be a jab fest or it could be a hug fest. Hard to say lol.
Who knows Joshua Wlad would deliver FOTY type of event, most of Wlad fight has been a grab and hug fest.
To me most of the excitement usually comes from the build up, when they agree to get it on and anticipation of how the fight might go.
I'm excited that we have 2 top fights in March. Hopefully the fights are equally exciting.

 

To answer your question precisely, which is: will Joshua/Parker be a snoozer as bad as Lewis/Tua. Then yes I believe that possibility exists but highly unlikely, and virtually impossible to the same degree as Lewis Tua. Joshua won't stink up the place. Parker might go into his shell if he doesn't want any of it.

 

There's no "AGAIN" here though, Lewis v Tua was Canada v New Zealand !
