IMHO Parker has about a 60-65% chance of winning this. I think he will but I'm not particularly confident. Probably a close decision. Chisora will come forward like he always does, and Parker will move and box and probably do just enough to edge it.
Cheers for the video. Scott seems far far more relaxed mentally. His best is yet to come. The domestic 154 crowd should take note.
Parker TKO In 9. Chisora big tough man, wide as a bus. Parker too slick and If he lets his hands go with slip a few In. (Hopefully) If Whyte didnt knock Parker out with his left hook then not sure how Chisora will? Not sure why people have voted for that.
People tend to overreact to that horrendous Parker performance against Fa. Yes, Parker looked like ****. But Fa destroyed the fight with his holding and clinching. I'm pretty confident we see a better fight and Parker will prevail and win a close fight.
Whilst i agree with the latter part of your post, if Parker was really good he would have been able to get around Fa and his spoiling Paint Dry Parker is suitable
If Parker could beat Ruiz he could be Chisora, the question is will he. Mediocre Joe park has looked like trash against FA but maybe Chisoras sloppiness and the fact that he doesn't really clinch can play into Parkers hands.
It's always been a mental thing with Parker. He's very passive, and let's other fighters steal rounds off him. When he's pressing the action, he's fine. But it all comes down to if he wants a tear up. I think he does just enough to beat Chisora though.
I'm struggling to see any result other than Parker on points. I think it'll be a similar sort of fight to Usyk V Chisors.
Parker doesn't have enough about him to avoid being dragged into a war with Chisora, he can't fight passively in this one because Chisora will pressure from the first bell. I don't see him being on the same level as Usyk or anywhere near as slick so I don't see how this becomes a Uysk - Chisora type fight. Interesting matchup which will tell us a lot about Parker because he's been matched softly for a few years. Chisora's motivation is the same as always, a good performance keeps him relevant and keeps him earning.
Fight is pretty easy to see playing out IMO. Chisora will be plodding forward with his cross armed guard trying to bob and weave his way inside throwing his usual array of slow hooks, haymakers and bodyshots while Parker moves straight back with his chin in the air throwing quick basic flurries that do just enough to nab him the majority of the rounds on the judges' scorecards. Perhaps some scrappiness if Chisora manages to work his way inside and Parker needs to clinch up to neturalise him. I'm not looking forward to this snoozefest at all. It holds no real potential for surprise given the way both men routinely fight.
Parker will just clinch if Chisora lays the heat on him too strongly, and Chisora doesn't have the conditioning or mindset to keep up a sustained barrage for long. The fight won't look like the Usyk bout because Parker doesn't have anywhere near the level of darting lateral movement of Usyk, or the timing or shot selection or overal ring iq, but he is a bit more physically rugged, and will be less likely to be bullied about. The Takam bout is a good indication of how this one will go.
