Joseph Parker vs Junior Fa is set for December 11th

I don’t think it’ll be a fight worth watching but who knows. Parker needs to make himself relevant again, and soon

 

Wilder’s 6’6ish, leaning slightly. Fa looks the very solid 6’5” that he is. Joe is a fairly solid 6’3”, more like a tiny fraction under than over.

 

I think Joe is a genuine 6'4"

One inch less than Fa

 

Fa is not good.

 

If Junior Fa had a bit of mongrel in him he would be a world beater, but sadly he is just way too soft.
Even Joe could do with a bit more mongrel tbf, fights too passively especially when he's the away fighter and the cards are stacked against him.

Fa is probably a little more physically gifted of the two, when you weigh it all up.

Fa probably gets ktfo, but he has a lot of good attributes and is very skillful for a big brute of a man.
Fa actually has good speed and footwork for a big guy, especially when he's in tiptop shape.

 

If Fa comes in truly fit and healthy

Could be a good fight

 

Really? Fa's footwork is terrible and his speed his hardly something to talk about either.

If you put everyone who gives a damn about Fa in the same stadium, you would not even have to work at social distancing.

 

I like Parker, but I am not as sure he is all that much. Tough guy who can box, good stamina, volume, and a bit of power.

But he is smallish (no way he is as tall as billed) with a small reach, and he doesn't hit that hard.

 

Parker does have a lot to prove

Fortunately he is still young and has time.....

 

It's a pretty easy sell here tbh. Parker being Samoan and Fa being Tongan sells the rivalry right there for the fans to come out.

 

It's the polite Polynesian style. Too humble etc. They need to throw that out the window if they want to make it in boxing

 

They need a bit of Tua edge. outside of the ring he was humble but in it he could be a killer.

 

Hey, I have a job.... When I'm not too drunk to go.

 

Domestic dust up otherwise a non-interesting fight.
