    Parker by KO inside 3.... Huni was up almost 9-0 last fight lol... commentators were calling for Wardleys corner to think about stopping it... if he was getting ass kicked by Huni he isn't beating Parker and Parkers power has improved of late.

    Parker wins a decision. Wardley will have his moments but the difference in skills and experience will be too much. Parker's jab will keep Wardley under control and sets up the right hand with it. Wardley will again show grit and hang in there but there won't be a come from behind KO this time. Parker has better defence than Huni and won't need to continually press like Huni to have success and run the risk of walking into a big punch.

    Wardley by KO. The Cinderella story is too good to fall at the Final hurdle. This story ends with him going from White collar to facing the greatest of his generation for all the belts. Its already written. Somebody is looking down on this man. Picked against him for Huni. Im not doing it again.

    Give me White Collar Wardley by BRUTAL KO

    Wardley via KO victory inside 8

    Parker's recent record has been high exaggerated and over rated. He has not lost for a while but that is about it.

    I think Parker is a good fighter but he’s getting wildly overrated on here he was battered by whyte and Joyce then he came back to beat a zombie wilder zhang who can’t fight after the 6th round because he has the energy of a 90 year old man and he got Bakold off his couch on 3 days notice and flew him around the world jet lagged and knocked him out, I love Andy Lee and I do think he’s a top 5 trainee in boxing right now but he can’t fight for Parker I think alot of people are going to get a shock on here and wardley is going to go right through him

    Great review; one of your best. Almost perfect. Had you mentioned the effect that Andy Lee has had on Parker it would have been 100% on the money. (or did I miss Lee being mentioned?).

    Have to give Parker props for taking this dangerous fight. I think a win here means more for Wardley than for Parker; he'd rise up in the HW rankings and be line for the big money title fight.

    I think Rummy has done a perfect analysis of this fight , Parker is the logical choice here based on boxing ability and experience . So why am I uncertain Parker will win? I keep seeing Joyce beat the crap outta Parker and Zhang drop him twice. And going the distance with a china chinned Wilder who's way past his expiration date doesn't help either. I sure ain't predicting an upset, but I would put this contest on a upset alert . It could happen, odds will be interesting

    Firstly we the viewers are winners as we have a bout with 2 heavyweights who are not lardasses, who have had full training camps and both on winning streaks.

    Which boxer prevails, well i really think Parker will do so by UD.
    However i can see Wardleys reputation increasing as he will present some testing moments for Parker.

    Looking forward to the bout, hoping there is no controversy and we get a clear legit winner

    Huni had some of the fastest hands I've seen at heavyweight acting like he's a chump on his first defeat is ridiculous. Good lord people. Overreaction society.

    Wardley has asked for and earned his shot against a guy at the top end of the division.
    Imo he's gonna be to get a painful lesson about levels in the game. But of a shame really but there it is.

    I like Parker but I'm surprised so many people are so confident in Parker winning.

    Parker is 2-3 vs British Heavyweights losing to Joyce, Whyte, Joshua.

    Is Whyte really better than Wardley ?

    I know Parker has gained more experience and is a better fighter now and he rightly should be the favourite.

    But Wardley is a 6'5 KO artist and Parker doesn't have a great record vs British Heavyweights.

    So I don't see it as a formality like some people do.
