PARKER vs WARDLEY - Do You Expect a BeatDown??

Wardley will be the fastest opponent Parker has faced since Ruiz, and the hardest puncher since Zhang. If Wardley is durable like Joyce than Parker is in trouble

I don't expect Parker to dominate. At best he gets a late TKO after a war

 

I got a feeling like Parker is going to beat Wardley like a drum but get dropped and early stopped in like 8 rounds. Hope I'm wrong

 

AJ is much faster than Wardley still TBH.

 

Parker is considerably the more experienced and better boxer but Wardley has murderous power that can easily KO Parker anytime. So, Parker might have to fight cautiously off the back-foot otherwise it could end badly especially as Wardley still carries his power late even after being beaten up all fight.

Nevertheless, I think Parker will win this still - he has fought and beaten big punchers better than Wardley before.

 

I think Parker outclasses him.

 

He's not

 

I reckon it will play out like Bakole. Parker has a great team and they have cleverly added bulk for more power while still keeping the speed. Parker fights to a game plan and follows instructions from Andy Lee, I think the best fighter trainer relationship in the heavyweight division.

 

Parker has plenty of experience against big punchers. Wardley is dangerous, but he isn’t this super blend of heavyweights you’re making him out to be. I don’t see how Warldey can deal with Parker’s speed and boxing ability.

 

Parker is overrated, this is why he'll go life and death with Wardley regardless of the outcome. You'll see. Parker can't counter punch

 

I like Fabio but he's getting a beating here.

Will be interesting to see whether his power shows at the higher level, but otherwise he's out classed in every category.
For his sake I'm hoping for a short night, because if he eats as many shots from Parker as he did from Huni it'll be ugly

 

Parker is a world champion with wins over former HW multi-belt holder Andy Ruiz and HW champion Wilder.
He has speed, power, skill, chin and experience. Basically the complete package, overshadowed by only a few special fighters, and just mismanaged.
He took bombs from Zhang and got up to win.
Before that he took bombs from Joyce and also got up to win.
No, wait, Joyce TKO'd him and Joyce is crap.
Also, didn't Chisora drop him? How old was Chisora then? What did Haye do to prime Chisora?
Yeah, Parker, lol.

 

Not sure what people thinking Wardley will win are basing it on? Parker is far and away the best opponent Wardley has ever fought. Levels above and we saw how Wardley struggled with Huni. Huni made Wardley look stupid for 9 rounds. Parker, more experienced and better than Huni, should be able to do it for 12.

 

People have already covered most points, so I am just going to talk about Parker's strength and conditioning.

A lot of people still have the version of Parker in their mind that lost to Joyce, and even earlier. The difference between Parker's S&C compared to now is night and day. I don't think people genuinely understand how bad it was for a professional athlete.

Ita honestly a minor miracle he became champ at all with how bad it was. Overtraining, bad sleep, partying and a diet that was all over the place, it's no wonder Parker was frequently sick, felt low energy and was carrying niggles ans minor injuries constantly.

You can just see in his camp videos from the Dubois fight to where he is now how much faster and more powerful he looks. I was watching him do an exercise from when he first got George in his camp, to the same exercise now and he looks completely different.

If Parker can bring those improvements in his S&C into the fight, I think Wardley, like a lot of other pundits etc will be a bit shocked by Parker, and how he looks.

Though knowing how this goes, Parker won't get credit, people will say Wardley was never good to begin with and refuse to give Parker his flowers.
