If Joe has the right game plan, then this fight will not be close, but I can see him getting pulled into a scrap and getting caught.
I think Joe and the team have been working on effective aggression while being defensively responsible in recent years, and had great success with it. Wardley won't be hard to find so it's up to Joe how he wants to fight it. I expect him to be exactly where he wants to most of the time in this one.
Even in the Bakole fight You could see Parker was staying in the pocket more - and more willing to trade Thus he got the early KO It is "intelligent aggression"
Yeah he was catching criticism for it too. He was also catching punches, but Parker always had the ability to trade, he just preferred not to.
I am seeing signs that Parker may look for a KO early here. I expect him to sit down on shots and really put it on Fabio I now predict an early KO within 4 - maybe even within 2
Any clue on who the ref will be? Was just watching Wardley vs Coffie and saw how Howard Foster stopped the fight when Wardley let off a flurry despite Coffie looking unhurt and still defending himself. I hope they have a decent ref for this one because that is probably the most likely way Wardley would win the fight.
Frank is in charge of refs, and I doubt he wants Parker to lose in such a way Not too worried this time
just here to register my contempt: they want 60USD on top of my subscription? for this? **** them right back. it's ludicrous.
$60USD?! Damn. I thought I was being shafted at $50NZD (which is around $25-30USD I think). I'm just annoyed they have such an underwhelming card considering the importance of the main event
