    I think he trend there is that he adjusts and plans his weight in accordance with the opponent’s size and strength and speed attributes.

    Takam is the anomaly but Joshua started binge eating after Pulev pulled out.

    Great to see both boxers in arguably their best shape of their lives.

    It does say they both are sceptical about each other and the potential unknows when they meet on fight night.

    I will say AJ 10th after a few scary moments

    I just hope he can get in range so he can unload his combos. It will be interesting to see whether Joshua resorts to holding here. McCracken is smart I think he will have told Joshua to hold early whenever Parker gets close. Fans won’t like it.

    AJ's the lightest since Michael Sprott fight (2014). AJ's almost 12 lbs lighter than the last time vs Takam

    Parker - since Solomon Haumono (2016). Parker's 8.5 lbs lighter than the last time vs H Fury

    Parker forgot the plan was to make AJ wait for the stare-down, then found a 'reason' to walk back to his team. Watching Eddie tapping his watch was worth it though....

    Parker didn't seem too sure there. Do you think they're a bit surprised at AJ's weight?

    It showed that AJ is more used to the big stage, he was so much more relaxed than Parker

    I doubt he'll resort to holding. He'll likely look to establish that 6 inch reach advantage and when Parker gets inside catch and counter like he did with Takam. Joshua likes to trade too much to clinch, he's not shown any inclination to clinch when in close.

    Parker may very well struggle to get into range at times but Joshua does hold his feet to often and when he does that Parker needs to pounce and let his hands go.

    Parker 234lbs Joshua 242lbs
    Joshua with an 8lb advantage

    Parker entered the arena wearing a parker lol

    Looks like Joshua’s team have done with the 250lb+ experiment and realise low to mid 240lbs is the right balance between power, speed, mobility & stamina

    Parker looked a bit fleshy and 234lbs seems heavy for a man of his height, maybe worried about Joshua size?

    Yeah. Joshua’s probably dropped more than they expected, which takes some of that speed and movement advantage away.

    Parker seemed normal, what is he supposed to do - go to sleep?
