Parker will do much better against Dubois than Joshua and Hrgovic did.

    I really like both fighters. Parker Is 31 with 38 fights, that Is vast experience for this era of HW Boxing. I think Parker makes Dubois quit. But I can also see Dubois stopping Parker If JP comes In too heavy.

    Also after this fight, JP has the best resume In the current HW Boxing.

    Parker's defense, evasiveness and speed wins this

    If his new power works out, he may even KO Dubois.

    Zhang could in theory KO anyone. Dubois might not be the best HW but he has earned being the prohibitive favorite against anyone.

    I used to think Parker was underrated when people didn't think he was an elite level HW. You're all collectively expecting too much.

    Dubios is too easy to hit, and Zhang has a very impressive chin. Zhang would simply have to wait for a good counter and it's lights out.

    Not taking anything away from Dubios, he's one hell of a fighter, but I see him struggling against someone who can hit and move. His last three opponents have basically just sat in front of him eating punches.

    I expect to see Parker win on points, though wouldn't be surprised with a stoppage.

    Parker will get hit less than AJ and Hrg did because he`s a negative spoiler, but he won`t land as much as Hrg did because he`s so cautious, he`ll take Dubois power better than AJ did but not as well as Hrg did, Joyce was able to stop Joyce and Dubois punches harder than Joyce did.

    This is what I'm expecting. Dubois will press, Parker won't be able to back him up and eventually Dubois lands big shots.

    Parker has spent all year building his POWER

    If so, he will keep Dubois honest and likely win with his superior defense and speed

    Parker has a better chin than Joshua and he's more willing to have a go than someone like Hrgovic who doesn't really have that fire in his belly although he has a good chin himself.

    It's a very good test for Dubois he will probably be extended in this fight against a very solid operator so we'll see what he's made of.

    I'm always hating on Parker, but bro, for once, I'm with you. I'm thinking Parker gets the KO.

    Parker is too evasive for that jab to be so dominant.....
