    I don't have 33 minutes to watch that video.

    My thoughts, Parker has a chance, but he's not fighting a heavy 254 pound Joshua. Joshua has slimed down to 242, which I think is he best weight. This means Joshua will be faster and be able to move around quicker for a longer pace.

    This, combined with Parker's shorter arms ( 76" reach ) and just solid power ( Parker took his last three opponents the distance ) makes it difficult from him to win vs a harder puncher with better range.

    Joshua isn't good with moving targets. His chin is just okay, but I think its going to take Parker's best performance to win here outside of a sudden bomb that either man can deliver.

    I see a competitive 8-4 or 7-4-1 points win for Joshua or later round TKO win.

    Parker has never been floored in the amateurs or pro's.

    Objective reasoning trumps blind patriotism 9 times out of 10!

    Joshua can be dirty and a rule bender when hurt. He hit Whyte on the break, and spit out his mouthpiece, with the ref for whatever reason stopping things for a while. The halt in action allowed Joshua who was not on sturdy legs extra time to recover.

    Interesting both these fouls/rule bending moments happened vs. Joshua's best opponents.
    I hope the ref and judging are fair as Joshua is one dirty foul or stall tactic away from gaining a bad reputation

    I’ve a gut feeling that AJ blows him away early in a career best performance. I thought Parker looked a little bit resigned and that reality set in at the weigh in today

    I think AJ's best chance is to charge in and try to smash Parker out in the 1st round.

    But he won't do that.....

    Parker isn't a bad fighter but he's in the Wilder/Whyte/Chisora sort of bracket.

    Its going to be an easy nights work for AJ.

    The heavyweight division is just waiting for Tyson Fury to come back. The gypsy king is the only boxer who could trouble Joshua.

    I wish I shared your faith Kiwi, I really like Joe.. and will continue liking him regardless of tomorrows result. However, I have to concede that personally I think AJ is too much for him, I hope to be proved wrong but I think AJ is too big, too powerful and too skill-full himself to give Joe too many chances.

    I do however hope and expect that Joe will go for it.. this is a HUGE opportunity and he really has nothing to lose. The pressure is on AJ here.

    Really looking forward to this fight, I hope we get a classic!

    Jesus these kinds of comments are just getting pathetic.

    If AJ wins it is going to be because he is the better fighter. He has not won **** all by being an arrogant twit. The opportunity he has to win is when he gets in the ring later.

    Dwyer does have a good boxing brain, the problem is everything he says usually applies the other way around......

    This is a guy who stated Browne has the best footwork in the HW division and couldn't figure out why Hughie couldn't land many jabs on Parker.

    That would be BC Hughie was going backwards maybe? Lol

    I would love to see Parker surprise us all, but if Parker were to win it would be one of the biggest upsets in boxing.....................but it's possible...............
