Joseph Dennis Parker Lupesoliai vs. Fabio Wardley & Ezra Taylor vs. Steed Woodhall - Round by Round.

Gooooooooo Parker

 

Does anyone know if Wardley is still managed by Dillian Whyte under his fake brother?

I was under the impression the agreement expired a few years ago? But not sure if he’s still got rights/income fees from future earnings?


EDIT - answered my own question. The board website shows Wardley is managed by Michael Ofo. Whyte’s ‘close friend’ from Brixton who’s promoted 2 shows - in Ireland, and Gibraltar both headlined by Whyte.

 

Parker came in heavier than expected—maybe he's planning to take it to Fabio in the second half. I just have this feeling Wardley will crumble when someone really puts it on him, but then again, this is Joey12. It's a huge step-up for Fabio when you think about it—Clarke, Huni, and now Parker—and he was down 89–82 and 88–83 when lightning struck last time out. I just can't see it striking twice.

The Matchroom shills at the weigh-in were trying hard to sell it like it's going to be a war for the ages, but I'm not buying it.

As for Mitchell Smith, I hope he's been practising those body shots—he's gonna need a stepladder to reach his opponent's chin. If I succumb to this PPV, it'll purely be to see if Mitchell Smith can resurrect his career.

But this should never be PPV. Still, I hope Wardley can make lightning strike twice, as Parker is milking the British system like some migrant who just arrived on a boat, cashing paycheck after paycheck—from Massey, Whyte, Chisora and Humble, now Fabio—to the point the next boatload of asylum seekers will start queuing up at Spencer Brown's door looking for tips on how to fleece the system and British public. $3.2 million is his rumoured cheque for tonight.

 

He’s managed by Whyte and a bloke called ‘Michael Magic’ who’s managed Whyte over the years.

 

Looks like Parker is going for early KO with that beastly figure.
Can Wardley make it to second half of fight and stop Parker if he tries?

 

Got tickets for this. Crazy it's PPV whilst they are giving tickets away. Anything interesting on they undercard?

 

Looking forward to this. Wardley only has a punchers chance but look what happened in the last fight. Sometimes that’s all you need, Wilder made millions and millions with one good asset.

 

This is incredibly unfair on Parker. The UK is the financial hub of heavyweight boxing just now and why wouldn't a professional make the most of it? He's spent most of his professoinal career here (time-wise; his volume of bin men tune-ups were clearly nearer home for poor money).

20 years ago people would have fought in the US for the same reasons. As for the money, I agree about the PPV being a nonsense but if a promoter is willing to risk 3 million on Parker then good luck to them both. As much as we moan about DAZN they're clearly underwriting this one.

 

Yeah I agree. Also trains in Ireland so it’s a lot easier.

 

Wilder also had his tongue and personality which sold his fights even against stiffs.

 

Mate, I was half-joking, but all the best to Joey12 tonight — actually reckon he rolls through Wardley. He’s a sharp one too, very astute and smart keeping the non-resident setup, grafting those UK camps without catching the full HMRC bite. Truth be told, he’s injecting more into the system than most of the small boat arrivals ever will.

Here’s hoping he bags the purse and heads south with that bulging suitcase of PPV cash — maybe even room for one extra passenger. Slip Bosh Snr aboard; maybe the border lads will look the other way this time.

So what do you reckon tonight — a lightning strike from Wardley or Parker to grind it out?

 

First round will be crazy , Don't count Wardley out he might catch Parker first .. and if he hurts him could be lights out for Parker.
