This somes up Matchroom signings. Basically the decent ones they get are purely the Olympic Squad. The rest are just novelties
This should be one too many losses for Eddie’s mate Chisora. Hopefully he goes away after this and stops getting massive pay days for pointless fights. I wasn’t interested in this when it was made but it might be an ok watch. Just watched Oliver saying Parker looks light which is what many would have suspected as he’ll want to box as much as possible and not be on the inside. I don’t rate Parker that much but I think he’ll handle Chisora quite well and bust him up a bit towards the end. I can see Chisora stopped on his stool quite late Fury style. SKY BET are 10/11 for the double chance Parker in rounds 7-12 or points. If you consider he 4/7 to win, I certainly don’t fancy him to stop Chisora in 1-6 rounds so it’s great value in my opinion.
The winner of Parker-Chisora should fight Dillian Whyte, it's the logical fight after this. Parker already deserves a rematch with Whyte, and Chisora has put on 2 good fights against Whyte and "IF" he can beat Parker you can't say he hasn't earned a "third shot at" Whyte. The loser of Parker-Chisora should probably retire. Chisora because he's 37 and that will be 11 losses. Parker because if he loses to Del Boy, he simply isn't good.
Benn was the same. The worst ever has to be Eubank jr ‘young Chris’ is pushing 32 now. He’s only beat crap and shot to bits people. He’s a joke, he’s the most infuriating one for it. People still take him seriously somehow and it’s literally just because of his name. I can’t believe his fight on this card isn’t getting more negativity, Morrison got beaten up by a past it Welborn years ago!! He’s 1/40 for this fight and is trying to wangle his way into a title fight against a the man he lost his pen for years ago. I’d love to see him fight Williams or Cash in a proper fight.
GGG holds the IBF and as of yesterday, CEJ wasn't even in their Top 15... so how does that work "his demanding of a shot"? All CEJ has is 2 wins against the well past it Abrahams and De Gale. Stepped up twice and lost both times to BJS and GG. Another who boils my p*ss.
Not likely, if Chisora will loss vs Parker, there still are around next boxers who might have need to get fight. Eddie most likely still will get him next fight on ppvs, I'm sure, sooner or later.
Classic method how to get good, nice looking fights records for prospects is exactly this: your boxer does have long and good training camp, might afford only train and relax. Opponents: the shorter notice for them, the better. Classic. All world's gyms and managers does know best methods how to make even average for local level boxers look very impressive: to gave them 2, maybe even 3 months notice about fight event's date to prepare and to get for them opponents who are already worse then these boxers + with very short notice, the lesser time till fight, the better. Sadly such methods are used worldwide during decades.
I don't think it is at all logical for Whyte in terms of career mobility, who has already beaten them and who says he wants a shot at the WBC title. Facing Chisora again is particularly pointless. There are other opponents out there for all three men, which would be more interesting to see than rehashing old matches. Chisora will have 11 losses after this and no big wins. He's the type of boxer that should be on at 7pm on an undercard, at best. There are a good amount of boxers out there that are on the way up, who are mostly pretenders. Let's see them in with someone like Chisora on an undercard somewhere. As for Parker, he has never been convincing, but he is still surely better than Chisora.
That's true, but Whyte turning down "AJ" is irrelevant to whether or not it makes logical sense for him to compete against two men he has already beaten. My post addressed that.
I think that's what most prizefighters do. I'm not sure if you're suggesting that Whyte enjoys taking the easy road. He's consistently accepted as many 50/50 bouts as any other heavyweight in the last several years. Considering that he's 33, and was just brutally KO'd in his penultimate bout, he'd have to accept a title bout if offered now, and I think he would, regardless of who the opponent is. I get the feeling that he doesn't fancy his chances against Joshua and probably not against Fury either. I think his punch resistance is a shell of what it was against Joshua in the first bout and maybe he knows that and it could be the case that he thinks Joshua knocked it out of him.
True, Whyte won't take the fight with the winner, it's not "logical" in boxing business sense, because boxing business tends to be illogical these days, it works by its own 'twisted logic'. I don't rate Whyte as much more than a domestic-level fighter but currently, the way things are set up, he's somehow got himself rated as #1 WBC again. So, yeah, it makes sense for him to do something else.
