    Parker v Wilder. Too live an opponent for someone this inactive. Stopped by Joyce but is generally a sturdy dude. AJ didn't bother him in the slightest power wise though he was a bit negative. That's where I see an upset.

    Parker and Joshua didn’t touch each other. It was a tickling contest. The worst heavyweight championship since Joshua vs Molina, which was the worst since Joshua vs Martin.

    Today's press conference is hard going. At least Andy Clarke explained why he's wearing his particular attire - married a Nigerian and already had the clobber in the cupboard, so why not...

    Lyndon Arthur in full Saudi dress looks ridiculous though. Like something out a Sacha Baron Cohen film.

    Alternatively, Parker was so worried about Joshua's power that he never engaged and was happy to lose a points decision.

    He was trying to engage for 12 rounds, the referee didn't fancy letting them box on the inside at all. Why would Parker stay at range and risk a big swing?

    The ref was corrupt in that fight but Parker didn't show enough urgency either and it's not the only time that's been the case.

    He’s coming across like the complete ******* that an ex convicted drug dealer is.

    I can’t see that, Parker is going to get badly ironed out here. I don’t rate Wilder apart from the power, but Parker is stand up straight, easy to hit and been down in several fights. I could see this being a slightly longer version of the Brazeale fight.

    Wonder if the single Airpod in his ear is so someone can tell him what to say?

    Wilder has/had elite speed, freakishly long dimensions, gladiator mentality. Those are probably his best attributes aside from the GOAT right hand.

    There's more chance of an upset in Wallin beating AJ than Parker beating Wilder. Parker doesn't have the power or aggression. I see a Wilder KO.

    After the press conference I’m inclined to pull for Miller.

    AJ snubbing Dev again. So far up his own backside it's unreal. I understand it's a presser and nobody really cares who asks the questions but FFS just deal with it.

    Even Frank and Eddie shared a wee handshake before it got going.

    AJ so stiff and awkward, decides to try and take over the presser and open it up to the audience for questions aha wtf

    Weird guy

    Wallin KO I hope
