Joseph Parker - Boxing Career Resurrection (Video)

Nice one Rummy. Parker is the feel good story of the heavyweight division.

 

Joe is a child of Fury now. Only good things come to a man protected by such an entity.

 

Aren’t you bored of constantly posting about Fury?

 

I will retire in May after the prophecy has been fulfilled

 

A truly great vid, Rummy

You're right - Parker is "taking away" the money shot of these giants

He is not getting enough credit for it

 

Good one, as always.

In the two moments in AJ-Parker in this clip where the ref needlessly breaks them up it's actually Joshua who's punching. And that is also my recollection, that he was active in them and not in any way looking for the ref to save him. That seems like a myth that has just ballooned.

 

Good video Rummy, completely agree with your assessment of Parker and his evolution as a fighter, he's much more thoughtful and tactical in his approach and it's elevated him from being a fringe contender to once again being one of the top fighters in the division.

 

So true, BB

What a difference 18 months makes

 

Most boring ressurection of a 250lb man I have ever seen...

 

I haven't watched the video yet but I will say I had totally written him off and I'm completely surprised by his turnaround. He's still fairly young for heavyweight man could still make more noise

I wonder how a Fury fight, usyk fight or Joshua rematch would go at this point

 

Great video rummy. Parker has definitely had a career resurgence, I'd love to see him try to avenge his loss to Joyce at some point.

 

Name the last heavyweight to resurrect their career.
I myself can´t really think of anyone besides Joshua and Parker.

 

Parker under Andy Lee is a different fighter - he seems to have found a love / enjoyment for what he is doing in the ring, and sticks to the gameplan well. I've previously criticised that he didn't have enough 'dog' in him and was maybe 'too nice' and whilst I don't think he will never be a spiteful fighter, he seems to have at least evened it out from being too nice, and has more measured aggression, especially when he lets his hands go.

 

Another awesome video Rummy, thank you for posting!
