    I'm quite confident Parker will beat AJ, in all honesty. I see Parker being there in the later rounds, and throwing the kitchen sink at AJ when he suspects he's tired. We've seen AJ tire numerous times, he's yet to do 12 rounds. If Parker hangs in til late, it's inevitable AJ will start blowing, and when that happens, I think Parker will hit AJ with heat he's never seen before.

    I think Joshua will win and I actually think he will win convincingly

    However, I’m going to put some money on Parker by KO as well

    Has anyone actually watched Joseph Parker? He’s really not that good. In fact he’s terrible and lucky to be a champion. A) it was vacant b) did he beat Ruiz ? C) did he beat hughie?

    He struggled against Takam too. 7 rounds to 5. Takam won one against AJ if you’re being generous.

    Parker doesn’t hit hard as his last 6 fights show. So power isn’t going to be a problem.

    Parker has never faced power anywhere near this before.

    Parker hasn’t got the movement he’s just a big fat forward plodding pudding.

    And for those who think AJ is gona gas out I know he’s been working on his cardio extremely. I think he’s gona come in a stone maybe 1.5 stone lighter this team. This is AJ 2.0 and he’s gona destroy him. It will be brutal and it will be inside 5.

    If he wasn't with McCracken I'd give Parker more of a chance, but because AJ is you can guarantee McCracken gets him working on his weaknesses and putting together a solid plan.

    Like AJ says he will work Parkers body and I think he will do exactly that.

    I think Parker has a live chance. I picked WK to beat Joshua and really he ****ed it. Parker can do it so long as his chin holds up.

    What’s Parker got that Klitschko hasn’t? And what does Parker do better than Klitschko?

    I’d say absolutely **** all.

    I fancy AJ to win a UD, as a moderate favourite not a big favourite.

    However unlike most people I think Parker is a live dog, and its only 60-40 that AJ wins. Its not a 90-10 fight like many here are trying to make out.

    Same as this...

    People saying Parker isn't very good - I agree in a sense, but just remember AJ isn't very good either.

    Teak tough takam took him all the way, Parker apparantly is just as tough as Carlos...

    Takam took the fight on very short notice

    Parker has a full camp

    Will always pick against Aj because his not the next great fighter his a basic fighter that just throws pretty much the same shots his not a master boxer his opponents can work out what shots his gonna throw and his power he does have power but it gets overrated and his chin well the two best opponents his fought have hurt him and his gas tank is terrible and if your not a matchroom or aj fan boy the flaws are there to see with each step up the flaws get even bigger

    The only way parker wins is if AJ takes his eye off the ball, if complacency sets in which I think one day it will AJ could get floored! I don't think parker wins but at 9/1 for the win I will definately have a little flutter

    AJ will win this inside 4 rounds. He will make a big statement against a not very good Parker. People go on about his stamina but they forget that AJ came on strong again against Klitchko after his dodgy middle rounds and won late on. As long as he boxes at range and doesn't take any risks then AJ will be too big and strong for Parker.

    Parker needs to make AJ work from.the folirst bell and go to town on his body whenever he can. He cant just wait till late on he has to make AJ work amd not let him get that second wind which he did against Wlad and Whyte.
