A lot of people are shitting on Parker on various sites, yeah Parker didn't look great, but got a W and hopefully the rumors of a Wilder vs Parker are true
Apparently Eddie Hearn told Whyte, that if he beats Wach he will fight Parker in the 02 Arena in september
Perhaps it was Josephs strategy to look bad, otherwise Wilder would have never considered to get anywhere near him.
Doesn't look like Sky are going to show the post fight interview. Its up to a Kiwi who bought the PPV to inform us if Parker mentions Wilder.
That'd be a decent fight. I'm very disappointed with Parker's performance tonight, he's exactly the same fighter from 2 years ago. Most of us thought he would move up a level after fighting Takam, but he hasn't.
He deserves to get **** on for this poor performance. He does have a belt and I have been saying Parker was food like rabbit stew for Wilder.
That would be an exciting fight. A lot like Whyte vs Chisora and that was my favourite fight last year.
Not a great showing by Parker it must be said, but that is often the case with champions taking on late replacements when they know they will win. It was a flat performance for a reason but that said, the contrast between this weekend's champion and last weekend's winner was stark. Let's hope this was down to lacking motivation not talent...
