Whyte head-butted him to the ground in Rnd 2 He took 8 Rnds to recover - then started to punish Whyte - almost KO'd him.
Hmm.. i need to watch that again. Hard to believe he was hurt that bad by the head butt but I suppose it is possible.
Joseph needs to be sacrificed to Andy Ruiz. He was lucky in the first fight, but the blob has mutated and grown into fatter morbidly obese saggier form. Mr Parker might actually be gobbled up this time. lol
I don't mind him fighting guys like this to put the wind back in his sails but if he's gonna do it he should at least be more active. Waiting 8 months to fight a guy who's 13-2 makes no sense. Anyways I watch the fight and it was entertaining but he didn't exactly shine. Looked a bit slow to me.
I think it’s more of confidence at this point so maybe now he can get back into being a notable challenger
He isn't too bright. When I saw that documentary about him in 2018 when he was due to fight Joshua, he really did across as bit dim in the intellectual department. He'll probably burn out and become a gate keeper within the next few years if he carries on being content as he is...
I agree 100%. Parker should have / needs to dump Kevin Barry and crew. Berry has helped Parker make a lot of money and he is likely financally set for live. That is the up side. The down side is Parker development had been greatly slow by keeping the same crew. I wish he would look at what Fury did and see how it helped Tyson.
Let’s be honest, Parker must be carefully managed from here on out. people have already lost a lot of interest in him. Cop another loss and he’s almost unmarketable
I think Usyk would have to push to get Joshua stripped, more likely he'll sit and wait his turn though. Going off the WBO rankings Parker vs Dubois will eventually be called as a final eliminator. I don't see Parker doing anything too risky until that comes, thatll be another UK PPV for Parker. Hearn said after Saturdays fight he may go to New Zealand with Parker for his next fight. Didn't make much sense at the time for Matchroom/DAZN. But after yesterdays DAZN news think its more likely hes going to have a subscription driver fight there, Junior Fa seems the obvious opponent.
