Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley prediction thread

I got this itch that Fabio Wardleys cindarella story doesnt end here against Joe Parker. Ive got a feeling he finds the shot. I can see Joe getting too comfortable making it look fairly easy to tag Fabio and evade shots. The Justis Huni win is going to do so much for Fabio Mentally knowing full well he can lose near enough every round now and still find that shot. I think Parker gets caught and dropped sometime after 5 or 6. This isnt like getting dropped against a Chisora or a Zhang. Wardley is fresh and will go instantly for the kill.

I love fights where any outcome wouldnt shock you. Fantastic Match Up. I hope when its all said and done Joe Parker, whether he becomes world champion again or not, gets full credit for his career, he really will face anyone.

How can you knock this man.

 

For sure Frazier was a world class amateur.

 

Nailing my colours to the mast for Parker.

We of course can never dismiss a puncher like Wardley, but i think Parker and his team are to experienced for Joseph to catch a ko punch from Wardley.

 

Yep I think it was Huni's speed that caused all the trouble for Wardley. Parker is not as quick as Huni but he is more durable I think he will win a 8-4 9-3 type of decision over Wardley in a tough fight.

 

I wrote this in another thread a short time back snd I still see it the same...

I think people are basing the Wardley will eventually tag JP theory on how the Huni fight unfolded. Huni was miles ahead we all saw it and he got caught. I think JP will just as easily outbox Wardley but the difference being he isn't featherfisted like Huni, the shots JP will be landing will be more punishing and take more out of Wardley. I see JP stopping Wardley in the 2nd half of the fight probably between rounds 8 to 12.

 

Parker stops him somewhere about the 8th for me.
I like Wardley but Joe should have more than enough tricks up his sleeve to walk him on to a few while being safe.

 

Parker is going to make 'Fabio' look like Joseph Parker against Hughie Fury, winging and whiffing punches all night, utterly clueless on how to land anything against a novice.

But Fabio is gonna find out that unlike young Hughie, Parker isn't some novice, but a world champion fighter who's been there and done it, with the power to turn his lights out. Parker is the most versatile top fighter outside of Usyk. He can box for points against other world champions like Ruiz and win without a mark on him. Or he can go to war with juggernauts like Joyce even old Chisora easily beat and end up destroyed on the canvas. He can change up his style depending on who is in front of him and has the experience to adapt.

 

Parker is twice as quick as Wardley who has no defense.

 

Random thought, but Wardley is a father now for the first time since he last fought. For some fighters that doesn't make a difference, but for others it can affect their motivation in the ring, as they will no longer be willing to "die in the ring" after having kids.

Especially a fighter like Wardley who is a give it his all, go out on his shield kind of fighter, but he also seems relatively switched on and intelligent. Becoming a father might reduce his desire to to go down swinging.

 

I’m usually fairly resistant to media narratives, but I’m slowly warming to Parker’s transformation.

He’s punching more correctly, he’s boxing more intelligently, and his coordination skipping rope is second only to Usyk.

I think he’s the biggest challenge to Usyk at the moment.

 

I don't think weight is as big deal as its made out to be, especially in the heavyweight division. And if Parker is meeting all his metrics, speed, power, stamina etc and feeling good, then weight is effectively just a number on the scale.

 

Not just a number

Weight brings with it POWER
