HOW can PARKER beat ZHANG? - Your Tactics??

Never said he was but the ones he threw. And landed caused damage!

 

Thanke man. The comic angle is always appreciated.

 

Where did I say he was? Parker effectively utilised distance through much of the fight, outlanders Zhang, showed much better defence and movement, and had considerably better fight management.

 

Only a few times, that`s not nearly enough.

 

Parker is a blessing to the heavyweight division. I’m enjoying how butthurt he’s made the Zhang and Wilder fanboys - guys just can’t take an L these days.

 

Parker won by being negative, he always only fights in spurts.

 

If Parker was negative, what was Zhang as he threw even less than Parker.

Parker used to fight in spurts because he would get countered as when he attacked he used to put very little thought into what and why he was throwing. He still fights in spurts that's true but now he's actually selective with what he throws and mixes in a lot of feints between those spurts to shut his opponents offence down and keep them guessing as to what he is doing. Is it exciting, perhaps not, but it's proven to be effective in his last 2 fights.

 

Parker didn`t land enough and neither did Zhang, I was not impressed.

 

Wilder needs to retire, both those fights were pretty dull and lacklustre, Parker is a good spoiler, he`s too negative and doesn`t land enough shots, he`s a safety first fighter.

 

Parker briefly wobbled Zhang in the 4th. That is where the fight changed, Parker showed an ability to hurt Zhang where Joyce's glacial slow attacks couldn't deter Zhang at all.

While Zhang spent the night shaking his head at clean shots the proof was in how much he was flinching at feints through the back half of the fight. He was also well marked up by the end.
