Parkers career has been greatly mismanaged for sure....by Barry who I think wants to believe Parker is way ahead then he really is. The Takam fight should have told him to put on the breaks..... Now once again jumping into a fight at the wrong time. I think Whyte going to have an edge here , he can put box Parker and Parker may have a better right hand but does he have harder body punching or left hook? This is the type of opponent Parker should have stayed away from even if it's rewards are huge if he wins..... It's a good match up one I commented on last week of it took place.... Whyte by UD. I think he's more skilled.
It’s not Ortiz but it is better than Pulev, hats off to Dillian coz he is risking his ranking, good to see joe back in there with a top 10 HW. I’m leaning to Dillian on points because it’s in London but really this is 50-50
The downside of this is that it means inexplicably overrated Pulev will be allowed to clog up the title pictures as mando at some point soon.
i think the plan is to put brook on the undercard as well for this to be PPV worthy and it sell well matchroom need to stack the card with names and meanigful fights not a load of 'keep busy' fights ... theres some really good domestic dust ups that can be made though ideal world would be yarde vs buatsi but that wont get made anytime soon and will be prob be main event of its own card on BT or something EDIT i like the whyte vs parker fight though and will prob book it,, i like whytes attitude about really fighting anyone anywhere instead of just sitting on his mandatory fighting no one really of any note just to stay busy
It would be PPV if Brook took on a legit threat or a 154 champ on the undercard but we know that's not going to happen.
This is most likely the case. However, Knowing Hearn he most like got options on Parker when Parker fought Joshua, which explains why Parker and Joshua were so respectful to each other after their fight.
Joe continues to chase after the big names. Dillian as well too and they both sure surprised me with this one. And its not like its 3 months away either, its next month! Awesome news.
"I'll fight anyone...not called Ortiz" Clowning aside, this is a good fight. British scoring robbery incoming.
