Dubois has the power advantage here but Parker was down against Zhang who hits hard and recovered well. Parker should be up for this and he wont get a better opportunity to become a 2 time heavyweight world champ. Who wins? Odds: Dubois 4/9 (1.4) Parker 15/8 (2.88)
Dubois will annihilate Parker and that will be the end to the overrating of Parker. He's incredibly boring in and out of the ring and I'll be glad to see the back of him. Dubois will jab his nut off and then plonker him with the right hand. He will then surely be put in with the real challenger in Martin Bakole.
Good match up. Parker has improved since his loss against Joyce, and the wins over both Wilder and Zhang earned him his shot. Dubois to win by KO.
Parker wins rather easily. He has been in with bigger punchers and slayed them or kept up with them. Besides beating a past prime aj i don't recall Dubois really doing anything worthy of praise.
Parker being vastly overrated. In the last 2 years he's been battered by Joyce, looked poor against Jack Massey, beat an awful Wilder who didn't throw a punch and whenever Zhang could muster the energy to throw anything he was putting him down.
Dubois handily in my opinion. Dubois is far better than Wilder ever was and Parker won’t be able to outbox him. He’ll certainly lose in a tear up.
For about a decade now, there has been a prominent, top, secondary British boxer in the heavyweight division. 2015-2019: Dillian Whyte 2020-2022: Joe Joyce 2023-Present: Daniel Dubois Joseph Parker has taken the challenge of fighting all three and the previous two fights did not do him any favor. I see the third fight heading in the same direction.
I'll give a little more credit to Parker than that but so many expecting him to win this fight has been strange.
Dubois is 60/40 in my eyes I think Parker is better than he gets credit for and has improved massively over the last couple of years. I watched Dubois v AJ again today for the first time since that fateful night, oh what joy! The ten seconds before AJ gets cleaned out are majestic, Hearn must have thought AJ was coming back into it and then Boom. Biggest pair of blue balls in Wembley stadium after that!
Joey 12 out for the count with Daddy Cool would be perfect but suspect it was only a one off. At least Joey 12 will be planted
