Dec 23rd - What fight are you looking forward to most?

Got to be wilder v parker. Wilder always a good watch....probably fighting the 2nd or 3rd best fighter on his entire resume. Parker on the downward atm....but still in theory a good test for anyone.

 

The odds don't say the fights aren't expected to be competitive, they say that there are clear favourites in all of them, which is different. Wallin and Joshua will likely be very competitive imo but Joshua is a clear favourite to get the decision whether he deserves it or not. That's why he is a clear favourite. I think Parker stands a decent chance if he goes for it (as he should) but if he boxes he'll get sparked sooner or later. If he goes for it early he may well be sparked early but he could win by early-mid KO.

 

Wilder-Parker is likely to be a good action fight and it's a fight of consequence.

 

Joshua is clear favourite because he is the more seasoned fighter. He should beat Wallin easily. Parker would be mad "to go for it" against Wilder, he should try to outbox him and win on points/get the moral victory. Getting a UD against Wilder win or loose should be his priority.

 

Strange that cos before Bicol beat Canelo lots of people would have been predicting a possible upset this weekend. Funny old game Saint.

 

If I pre-order, can I the record the card for when I arrive home around 0000 - 0100am to watch straight away rather than wait for the usual 0900 / 1000am re-run?

 

Watching the Miller v Browne fight, Browne found it rather easy to navigate his uppercut onto Millers chin.

If I was DD, I'd be checking Millers chin out with this one particular shot.

I can see Miller swarming all over DD but then a DD uppercut ends the fight.

 

I get DAZN on Sky platform. Going away a few days from the 22nd. I haven't seen any facility to record yet. I rang DAZN about this situation and asked when I would be able to record the card, hopefully before the 22nd. They could not give me a definite answer. First guy I spoke to didn't even know the event was on until he checked with his"supervisor"
Supervisor told him I could order the event up to 7 days after it had finished. So if I dont see a chance of ordering it before I will call them again between Christmas and the new year and watch it as live. Maybe you can do the same when you return?
Hope we both get to watch it.

I like all that post but especially the WHETHER HE DESERVES IT OR NOT bit. I can see it being close.

 

Hope so. Daniel has to impose his will and his punch on Miller early. Not let him get into a rhythm where he can start to do damage with an accumulation of punches himself. Hes going to get trash talked again at the conference and a few meaty punches early might help dispel any doubts that Miller has put into him.

 

There is a reason, imo, as to why certain boxers wear shades at Press Calls and Face Offs, to hide their own insecure eyes.

Talking brash hides ones insecurities. Mental mind games.

 

Take away Joshua's A-side advantage and suddenly it becomes a 50-50 oddswise or near enough. The odds are priced based around the idea that Wallin was to win 8 clear rounds to get the decision and has the ref working to bodyguard Joshua. They aren't naive. Joshua is more seasoned but he's also more shopworn and Joshua is not favoured oddswise to stop Wallin even with an accommodating ref. As for Parker, he can't outpoint Wilder over 12 full rounds and if he tries to do so it's proof that he's bottled the fight and has no heart.

 

Not sure..think there's a possibility Parkers done now.

 

Parker has go for it. If he fights passive like the AJ fight Wilder will land at some point and other than Fury no one has been able to handle the punch power in recent times and that will be all she wrote.
Parker has to get in close, push Wilder back and break him down. He might have to pick his moments but hanging about on the outside will see him staring at the ceiling.

I just don't think Parker is at the level to keep it up though. He's decent he beats almost everyone who isn't world class when he faces them but he struggles at the true world class level.

 

You must be trolling.

 

No you can't - have to wait for the replay to be uploaded - it's pretty much the same for all apps - there's nowhere to actually record it too!
If you had Sky + or Q, you can record the DAZN channel, which saves the programme on your sky hard drive. Sky Glass however nowhere to record it too again.
It's the downside streaming services...
