He is 25/1 to win on points at most bookies. No doubt his odds have shortened though since the fight was announced.
Everyone seems to be not mentioning parkers lack of top wins, they stunk the place out when he won the vacant title against Ruiz... He has had a couple of defences against nobodies and were both shocking. AJ only loses this fight if he takes the eye off the ball and I don't see this happening in this fight. He must come in lighter and by the looks of him he is doing just that
AJ wins easily by KO. Then he will fight Miller in the summer before a big fight with Wilder in Vegas or NY at end of the year.
Of course I am, the definition of a good bet is knowing you getting better than the actual odds. Only bet £3 though. I have a few £ in most of the middle rounds for Parker KO. All about 117-1
AJ was always going to beat Takem and he won comfortably considering he spent most of his build up training for Pulev and was also very heavy. I expect a lighter AJ this time and an even more dominant display.
For someone being such a stickler about the bookies odds, this post is quite ironic stating that if the fight was fought 50 times, 1 of those times would result in a 6th round KO for Parker. Actually if we are taking what the bookies say as gospel, that would only happen once in 117 fights...
why would it be once in 117? I valued it (along with most bookies) @ 50 or 60-1 although some bookmakers are offering 100-1 on all Parker rounds (probably to entice customers). The original poster claimed to have found inflated odds of 117 which he perceived as a bargain.
Very competive fight but I lean to Parker cause he is the fast better mover of the two, Anthony is a bit sluggish
At first I thought a first round knockout for Joshua, but now I have to give Parker a chance, he is looking good, has lost weight, is much faster. I like Parker's fight plan, but I still have to give Joshua the edge................ would not be surprised if Parker were to get an upset, just don't know how he can have much chance with UK judges, referee, and boxing commission, did not like the ref's stoppage in Joshua's last fight...............
