    Parker's chin has been cracked before so a hard hitter, accurate like Coetzee has a chance. But I have to say that I think the best version of Parker has the grit and savvy gameplan to grind through the rough spots and come out on top. Parker is a bigger, heavier dude with good stamina and unfortunately one of Coetzee's holes was his iffy late fight stamina. I fancy Parker here even though it's not a certainty

    Parker neutralises Coetezee’s right hand with the jab, offsets him, outboxes him and doesn’t take too many risks, Coetzee was great at measuring and throwing the right off of that or as a counter, he wasn’t aggressive, so Parker, on the outside, wouldn’t be there for the right hand and Coetzee doesn’t have the right skills to press the action and force errors.

    Both good fighters. Parker just a bit better so I lean towards him.
