Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua vs. Joseph Dennis Parker - THE *OFFICIAL* POLL

It will go down a lot like Klitschko-Povetkin. Same size differential combined with similar strengths and weaknesses.

Joshua UD.

 

Joshua will play it safe if he can't KO Parker halfway and cruise it to an UD.

 

Been watching Parker's fight videos. He hasn't had the level opposition that Joshua has had basically because of
the Klit fight. He also gets hit A LOT...Takem touched him with some big punches; props to Parker that
he withstood them but still it's not a good defence to stop punches with your face. I'd say Wilder stops him very quickly; Joshua is more likely to wear on him a bit before knocking him out. Joshua also has a big reach advantage.

I can only see Parker winning if he has a fight like AJ had vs Wlad...withstand a knockdown and KO a tired AJ late.

It's 80/20 for a Joshua KO.

 

I just don't think Parker has a chance, I can't see him winning this fight. I just hope it will be competitive...............don't know how, but hope so.

 

I have it 70/30 for AJ, but I share your take on this, the only real advantage in experience over Parker that AJ has is the Wlad fight, being a older faded Wlad.

 

I voted for Joshua by bent UD but I think Parker can get the KO.

 

As much as I will be hopping Parker wins I think AJ will get the nod with a late stoppage.



Hopefully they let the fighters going out on their shields as opposed to stopping it because some one might get hurt..

 

Not much time left until the fight.

 

This although i do have a feeling parker might make AJ look bad at times which will inspire confidence in wilder and have everybody thinking wilder is now the favorite etc.

 

Wow surprised at how one sided the poll is. I like Parker's confidence, if he doesn't let the atmosphere get to him at the minimum we'll have a great fight. Decent undercard too kudos to Eddie

 

AJ by late rounds accumulation stoppage.

Parker is solid but nothing special (not that AJ is either) but styles make fights and whilst I'm certainly rooting for Parker I think he'll eventually crumple late on.

AJ KO 10, but......WAR PARKER.

 

I can see that happening for the first few rounds, I can honestly see Joshua getting behind the jab and using his height and reach, try and draw any sting out of Parker and get those early rounds in the bank while not wasting too much.

McCracken was fuming Joshua didn't jab more against Takam and kept making that point afterwards.

If there is an opportunity to unload on Parker early I'm sure Joshua will but I see a sort of safety first, rack up early rounds type of start from AJ.

 

That's where I'm leaning, I believe Joshua wins, I've not been sure how though, changed my mind a couple of times but if forced I'd go with an AJ late stoppage.

It might resemble Takam, Joshua winning the fight, Parker behind, taking a few heavy shots and the referee jumping in to "save" Parker.
