    Rummy, could you ask Ring Magazine to include your name in the thumbnail? I again, ignored for generic content at first!

    For my money Whyte was a lot better then than Wardley is now in almost any category.
    I don't see Whyte losing every round to Huni the way Wardley did last time out.
    I honestly think people see Wardley as a lot better and bigger punching then he actually is.

    Parker on a split decision ( 1 or 2 knockdowns )

    Those picking Wardley don’t realise is that Parker is an absolutely fantastic fighter.

    Wardley reminds me of the top of the B class heavyweight. Which i'm not trying to say is an insult. In wrestling terms he would be a great intercontinental Champion like the macho man. I just don't see him as elite as the big dog's. I've always felt Parker would give Usyk a great fight. I've been on this bandwagon far before any dubois or Fury fights neither of those guys are a boxer type they are slugger's Parker is a pure boxer type it's the type of person i wanted Usyk to face, same with agit kabayel a boxer type of profile. Both these guy's would give Usyk an entertaining fight I feel.

    While Wardley seems like a boxer over a slugger. I feel like he overachieving for his natural talent so far. He doesn't have an amateur background and I feel he's overachieved for such limited experience, eventually that handicap will catch up with him. I think Parker will hunter him down, and expose his lack of rounds fought. The amount of rounds boxed are overwhelmingly one sided. Then of course everyone will say bad thing's about Wardley which i will still feel he's getting the most out of his talent and likely won't warrant such a vicious backlash. The guy is relatively inexperienced you can't expect miracle's overnight. Look at how long Parker has been crafting his attack.

    Yep I am picking Parker to win but I am not overly confident. Wardley is very dangerous and could very well KO Parker if things go his way.

    :lol:

    No need to apologize. I can understand why there might be reason for concern.

    I'd be pretty surprised if Parker took him out THAT early, but then again, I do believe Parker probably hits harder than anyone Wardley has faced. At the same time, I think Huni is a skilled, smooth operator.

    Thank you very much!
    I did mention Andy Lee's positive influence on Parker on a previous video (I think it was after the Zhang fight).

    Agreed! If Wardley wins, especially by a highlight reel sort of knockout, he will shoot up the rankings (and deservedly so, I think). I applaud both boxers for taking this fight at this time, where each man has something to lose (besides the fight).

    I think this could potentially be a great one.

    I don't, either. I DO believe Parker should win, but a Wardley victory most certainly wouldn't shock me.

    I can try, but once I complete the video (where I do have full creative control), it's in their hands as far as title and thumbnails go.

    I always add my Ring videos to my playlist linked below. And as a quick heads-up, my Parker-Wardley post fight review should be on Ring's channel some time the following afternoon, usually between 12-15 hours or so after the broadcast ends.

    Cheers! :thumbsup:
