    I like watching him fight. I don't think he'll ever become a contender, but he's fun to watch at least this stage. I think at the very least he'll become a fun guy at British domestic, McDermott 2.0.

    Poor match-ups but he is still young ofcourse.

    Hopefully he will fight someone like Leapai soon.

    Look at how much he's fought in the last calendar year, mostly against decent opposition.... Nothing wrong with that, and they're a mere month apart from each other. Good on Parker for staying active. With Daniel Martz it will be exactly 6 fights in the last year.

    I agree. These 2 fights are a letdown from the direction he's been heading but he'll have them both over with in about 2.5 months from now.

    At his age and his strong activity level there's nothing wrong with these 2 fights. He'll have had 5 fights this year and his first fight of next year will be right away. He's being brought along fine.

    John Wesley Nofire vs Yasmany Consuegra Nov 25th

    So, Consuegra is being thrown in with another big US prospect. Nofire, 6'6 18-0 (14) Any info on this guy?

    That is a good card. Pretty competitive fights.

    Big opportunity for Martin to make a statement. And possibly a bridge too far for Szpilka.

    Let's just say that this is much more of a step up for Nofire than it is Consuegra.

    The American Gary Cornish. And Nofire should be flattered by that name ;)
