Yes 250 and more are too much for AJ's stamina. And at 254 he looked like he lost some speed. 242 is just fine
Both were surprisingly light. I thought Joshua would be about 245-247lbs and Parker around 240-241lbs. Credit to both for clearly putting the work in and showing up in the best possible shape, you gotta respect that level of professionalism, too many fighters at heavy show up out of shape for the big fights. Joshua as always looks like he been carved out of granite.
Maybe. Either way, fingers crossed AJ takes a hiding... A bit sick of AJs largely classless fanbase. Feels like the right time to make him look human and get the casuals off the train ride so boxing can be more fun to follow and talk about
Both look in tip top shape, Both clearly taking this fight very seriously and both look confident. Joshua has always played down his weight even when McCracken wasnt happy about it but clearly he is listening. I know in his last fight he was supposed to be fighting Pulev but the weight he was at was taking speed and movement off him you could see the bulky stiffness in his work.
No but it does tell us more about what may happen tomorrow. Parkers basing his plans on his speed against Joshua, well Joshua has just shown he is not going to quite as slow as he has been lately. Too much is read into a weigh in or a face off but little things can be learnt from it.
Lewis took devastating KO losses to far lesser fighters than Joey P and fought his way to #1 ATG at HW, this coming from a K2, Tyson, Holyfield, Mercer fan. Was never a fan of Lewis, but the man made every big fight he could have save Bowe, but we all can mostly agree that he did all he could to get that done as well. AJ could afford to get blasted out tomorrow, but return in 6 months and re-establish his place at the top of the division while giving his fans some ish to swallow.
& they used to call K2 era opponents fat! This won't be competitive! Parker is not world level. Sorry but he isn't. Says everything that a chubby guy comes in a bit less chubby & AJ fans nearly blow there wads thinking Joshua just went H2H with a prime Holyfield type almost LOL Hearn & the superior one got these mugs lapping up this BS
