Joseph Parker vs. Yakup Saglam RBR

LFMAFO! Look at the angle at 1:49, he missed by a foot!

BRUCE SELDON LOOKS DIFFERENT IN HIS COMEBACK. Those skin-bleachers are damn good nowadays!

I don't have to watch replays to try and work it out.. it happened right in front of me.

 

:good

 

Wilder fan boys calling Parker a fraud because he KO'd a dude in 2?

GTFO here. I have watched Parker live since he was 15 years old. There is nothing staged or fake about the guy. The is footage from all angles of this fight, even from the corner of coach Kevin Barry. You can see the multiple shots landing prior to Saglam being taken off his feet.

 

:good

Questioning the KO shot on Saglam but defending Wilder vs. Scott is lunacy. :yep

 

Parker is fighting Fujimoto next.

 

Goodnight, Kyotaro.

 

**** fight really.

 

True but it expands Parker's repertoire beyond just fighting @ home in NZ, as I'd wager Fujimoto is making him come to Japan.

It expands his international presence.

 

That's true. I was just a tiny some disappointed knowing he's terribly outsized but we'll see another highlight reel KO at least. Fujimoto is actually travelling down to the bottom of New Zealand for the fight.

Nope, the fight is happening in Invercargill in NZ - the date was announced months ago but the opponent (Fujimoto) only just announced.

I expect this fight to not be much or any more dangerous than Saglam, but I think it's more about Fujimoto's rank in WBC than anything - Parker has no presence in the top 15 there, and it'd be helpful for securing more fights if he finds a way into that list. Same reason I believe they called Molina out, which would have been a better fight but that not happening was not Parker's team's fault.

 

Plus Parker is getting better at knowing when to continue with the attack and when not to. Mind you Kevin Barry is still calling the shots loud and clear from his corner during rounds.

 

I like Parker a lot still a little too easy to hit with the right hand but he is progressing nicely.

 

Good progress.

 

Fujimoto just cashing out then.

Shame, if he lost the Ishida rematch we might see Parker moving on to bigger & better things already. :yep
