Dereck Chisora vs Joseph Parker - Discussion and Poll

Chisora has a better chin than glass mandible Whyte. Whyte is a KO waiting to happen. Oscar Rivas also came within a whisker of tucking Whyte into bed and dinosaur Povetkin sent him into orbit

This will just be a repeat of Takam vs Parker and Ruiz vs Parker Where parker barley outworks and outboxes Chisora in a the fight of his life and the fanboys will claim Parker is the man to beat Fury, when Parker himself would get his ass worked by Usyk

But don't worry. Parker is still better than Wilder. He had the balls to fight 2 top 10 opponents wheras Wilder avoided Dillian "The Nate Robinson" Whyte and Anthony "why am i feeling like this" Joshua.

 

Hmmmm.

I'm hoping for a Rnd 6 stoppage win by Parker

 

Very good point. We should remember we are talking about Chisora 20000.1 and not the previous 20000 versions.

Andy Lee spoke on the Costello and Bunce podcast. Asked about Parker's flaws he mentioned that he had a tendency to rest in rounds and admire his work and that what he would be demanding was the full 3 minutes of focus.

They're only words, but if he can get that message through to Parker and get him to maintain a high level for the full 12 then hopefully a different voice in the corner will unlock some of the man's undoubted potential. I hope so, notwithstanding his legal troubles he seems like a decent guy and on top form he could be a factor in this division.

 

If Parker loses to Chisora uncontroversially he should retire.
Parker has looked average since 2017, and he looked terrible in his last fight. But he's 29 years old still, so there's still some degree of hope for him.
He needs to get a clear cut win over Chisora really.
Chisora's a strong determined fighter but he's 37years old now and a basic plodder really.

 

Chisora by big KO

 

If Parker cannot win this he needs to retire because if he cannot beat Del Boy now then he cannot fight for the world title again.

 

Even as a fan, I pretty much have to agree with you, Olu.

 

I expect Parker to wear Chisora down

to the point where a mid-to-late Rnd KO comes into play...

 

chisora can only wear himself down. If he starts too fast he will tire in 2 rounds like against usyk, and have no power left for his owm survival late in the fight. Usyk got no power so he got out of that 12 round fight fine. Parker has that ko power at any minute. Parker is not as slippery as usyk though so it depends how big chisoras tank will be if the fight goes late. If chisora energy is high even in the later rounds parker might get in trouble here. but thats a big if. Chidora is an old war horse

 

There is so much riding on this fight for Parker....

 

I have no idea. Parker should be leagues above Chisora, but to me, Chisora is the one who still actually wants it and has serious aspirations of being a world champion (however silly and far-fetched those aspirations appear to be). Motivation is a hell of a factor, especially when the person who has it can still hit like a truck.

 

No way is he leagues above Chisora. Chisora gave Whyte just as tough of a fight as Parker did and Takam was beating Chisora until Chisora landed his KO blow and Parker barley outboxed Takam.

Their on a similar level or at least parker has transended from gatekeeper to world level if you want to jack off Parkers abilities.

 

Parker should show he is a level above

this weekend

 

JP wins via Points.

Wouldn't surprise me to see both men dropped once. Heavyweights and all that.

I'll go 116-112 with no KDs in favour of JP.
