PARKER will go to WAR with WARDLEY

Parker will be 6-0 in rounds totally bossing the fight and then stop Fab in the 7th or 8th. Huni was giving Fab a lesson until he got hinself caught. If Huni had any decent power he would have stopped Fab. JP can definately bang a lot harder than Huni and he's going to do the business.

 

It's going to be like Bakole. Parker is a much better fighter and doesn't have to do much for a good knockout. And I like Wardley, but Joe is a man with a legacy, and in a different league.

I hope he gets Usyk next, but I have been saying all along that the thing for Parker to do is just keep fighting good fights to add to his already very real legacy, and I like this fight, 100%!

Less difference in height/dimensions that I initially thought, can't see their shoes but shoulder height is pretty similar.

Will Wardley have much of a range advantage on the night? I can see Wardley getting caught when he leans back to avoid shots, and Parker can be a bit sneaky with how he sets them up.

 

Parker isn’t going at Wardley. That would be the dumbest thing to do. Wardley’s only chance is if Parker brawl.

 

Agreed, Parker has mixed up his style yo add pressure and smart aggression to it.

He always could do it, but used to prefer a safety first approach.

Parker shares a lot about his camps, including actual sparring footage, as well what looks like actual combos etc that him and his team are working on for the fight. Is this quite unusual? Most camps seem quite secretive about all that sort of stuff, will it give Parker any disadvantage?

The sparring starts about 3.20ish.

 

I suppose it doesn't matter this close to the fight, or it could be a mind game.

 

The old Joe has some pros but he could never really control fights because he was so reactive. His crappy jab back then was an after thought and so he couldn't use it to sell his feints. Now his jab is much more authoritative and allows him to sell his feints to create openings. The jab to the body opens so much for him, as once his opponent starts reacting to it he can then feint to the body and throw an overhand right to the head, it's how he set up Wilder. This also allows him to take the centre of the ring where before he'd just be on the back foot and fighting with his back to the ropes, where he'd get caught, now in the centre he has the space to move step back rather than just be pinned to the ropes.

 

Yeah I forgot about that, his old jab was fast and flashy but opponents knew it was for show and could be ignored.
