Parker will do much better against Dubois than Joshua and Hrgovic did.

    Parker is a skilled and fast fighter, more versatile than Hrgovic and mentally stronger than Joshua, he will beat Dubois in a big war...

    I agree, provided he doesn't come in too heavy. Dubios has a tendency to eat a lot of punches, which works great against guys willing to trade and eat his equally big hits, but not so great against someone fast enough to pop in and out.

    I think Parker will provide a very solid test for Dubois but we shall see.

    I actually think Parker has a good shot at winning this match up.

    I think he can do it, mainly because Parker is an experienced allrounder and Dubious has already been stopped on attrition twice and is overhyped.

    It would be very funny if Parker beat Zhang, Wilder and Dubious and AJ beat none of them.

    Problem might be that Parker seems to be falling over a lot lately, maybe he's punchy, or maybe it's just he's fighting better opposition in succession. But if his punch resistance isn't there, he might get badly KO'd.

    Parker will get caught at some point with some solid blows. Be interesting to see how he copes. I don't think Parker hits hard enough to discourage Dubois from coming forward. Will be a decent fight

    Look at it from the positive side, the extra mass will give him extra power and that will come in handy against Dubois.

    Parkers form from the Zhang fight gives me no confidence he can defeat Dubois or even come close. Hes earned this shot but he hasn't earned any expectations and has been overrated the past year.

    Dubois wasn't favored aginst Hrgovic or AJ. He should be favored here. By a lot.

    Parker is a disappointment. He has the tools to win, but he won't win, he does the bare minimum

    I'd pick Zhang to KO Dubios tbh. Styles make fights.

    That was their approach against Joyce and it backfired horribly.

    Parker has a shot, but I won't bet against Dubois after that last phenomenal performance.

    True, but Parker is better now than then, after all, Parker has two big victories behind him, and that will further increase his confidence...

    Styles make fights, Parker was the wrong style for Zhang and Wilder, Joyce and Dubois are the wrong style for Parker. Daniel will do a demolition job on him, and be the second man to stop him.
