Prior to first knockdown one was a bit low, second time he just got KTFO. Good to see Parker agressive, coming forward, and throwing them again. Good KO that will get him another big fight in the UK.
True, but how good/bad was Flores? There wasnt much coming back. Can't ascertain any improvements just yet. I'd like to set him against Big Daddy/Dave Allen/David Price to see any real improvements since Whyte.
Looks like hes taken a leap from the Miller/Whyte playbook. Pummeled with bodyshots for the first couple rounds and when Flores froze up, try to take off his head. Flores did good in the first round, but Parker was hurting him throughout. Cant see any of the blue collar champs troubling Parker. No doubt hes got his eye on Miller/Povetkin/Whyte 2/Chisora/Kuzmin for April 13th.
There was a bit of back and forth with Junior Fa recently because Parker offered Fa half a mill in order to get in on the WBO rankings. Fa is WBO no10. Although nothing in it for Fa, who may be targetting Fujimoto (wbo 6) if he's smart. Fujimoto won't want any of it so not sure where he goes. Parker vs Gorman would be a nice fight in the UK. Although seeing Parker is ranked with the WBC, i can see him travelling to the u.s for a fight with Jennings or another name. Jennings would be keen as parker is ranked over him WBC.
Parker’s hand speed looked quite good, which was something I think people thought was one of his strengths prior to his last two fights. Granted it was against **** opposition so we can’t really tell anything from it but good for Joseph to get an easy W and some confidence back
Question is, does parker go to the u.k to make some coin (dave allen, Price, whyte 2), or make a big fight in the U.S and chase a Wilder title fight as wilder is wbc champ and parker is rated number 5?
Hes off to the UK for his next fight. Team Parker have stated this many times, hes a name there. Would have to be a good money offer from Team Wilder in his very next fight, no point lingering in the US when Parker is one of the guys genuinely hunting big fights with the best guys. Jennings fight does nothing for him, he'll be on the April 13th card dare I say. Parker vs Hunter maybe?
Pretty risky for hunter. How about Parker vs Chisora on the undercard if Chisora loses to whyte? Or as a mainevent.? Duco and Hayemaker have good history and would be something David haye would put on.
Gets pretty risky for everyone at this level. Doesnt look like Parker or Hunter have any problem taking risks if the money is right though. I think Chisora will be saved for Miller, and Whyte will get Breazeale/Ortiz or Povetkin.
Yeah, risky if he's chasing a Joshua fight down the track, which is probably what most guys are targetting even if a little far off. Hunter is rated around the 10 mark in both sanc. bodies. He'd be better off targetting Helenius, Wallin - both rated above him wba, ibf. Cant see hunter parker interesting anyone in the uk tbh.
M Most times you gotter fight a big UK name. But Parker and Hunter have both beat big UK names and are well known there. Would sell fine as a supporting bout, ala what Takam is doing for Whyte-Chisora, Parker could do for Joshua. Will be interesting to see which heavyweights get to fight on April 13th with so many of them gunning for it. Should have a heavyweight night of nights.
If Whyte loses to Chisora maybe. Joshua vs Pulev. If not then Whyte vs Joshua 2? And Parker v Chisora?
