Anthony Joshua vs Joseph Parker set for march 31st in Principality Stadium

https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-s...-wont-shake-disrespectful-joseph-parkers-hand

So AJ is up on his high horse and won't shake Parker's hand. I guess Parker is of an inferior race so it makes sense.

 

Respect to J Parker being willing to travel and box on the tough British HW scene.
There are several HWs that I dont think would be top 10 rated if they were based in the UK.
I expect there are many HWs that would not be willing to travel to the UK and face a top British HW even if it were for good money.
I expect Joshua to clearly beat Parker but...
Big respect to Joseph Parker.

 

I expect this to be Joshua's first win on points, unless that silly referee from the Takam fight officiates the bout. Don't expect the bodybuilder to just walk through Parker, on this occasion. I think this is a slight step up from both the Brezeale, and Whyte fights. Think Joseph will be very defensive, and on his bike throughout this fight. I expect Parker's toughness, and youth to see the final bell. I basically think Parker recieves a Stiverne like beating, like the first Wilder fight. If Joshua had any sense he should come in at 245lbs, where his best performances are. Even in that Klitschsko fight, you got the feeling he could have won that fight earlier without the unnecessary knockdown, if he came in lighter.

 

i think joshua and parker will be respectfull to ech other in the build up

its parkers promoter **** stirring who will cause any ructions if any

not a fan of these antics /let the fighters and fight speak for itself
it will sell out and get good ppv numbers

these wwf pre fight antics who are they aimed at ?

 

Funny video of Hearn vs Higgins recorded today discussing the fight.

Sorry but never once got the feeling that if AJ come in lighter he'd beat Wlad....even a 41yo inactive Wlad.

 

just watched it
cringeworthy

its like two eleven year old boys in the school playground saying my football team is better than your football team.

does this really help sell the fight.

 

Re: The Sky Sport video-

You can see Higgins is quite nervous and not relaxed.

I think he needs to chill and let the fight build naturally.

 

Yeah I saw the same thing. Watch Higgins right leg as he is talking about how rattled AJ is, his right leg is shaking in a way I haven't seen since Broner was knocked down by Maidana!
It's probably because he starting to think about the prospect of having to sit at the same table as AJ at the presser next week.

 

Higgins has done great to get this fight made

Now relax and let the fighters do the talking...
