Talking directly to Parker on Instagram it seems that his Duco team are trying all they can to get the fights but Eddie and the Matchroom organisation are throwing him under the bus. Eddie only seems to care about AJ, Whyte and recently, Usyk...
God you really are a parasite to this forum. You're MVC!, IsaL level. We get it, you're weirdly obsessed with Dillian, even though he has no idea who you are. Approximately how much sleep did you lose when you heard that Whyte got popped for steroids?
There was also the first time he pulled out with chisora. He knew the fight was coming but the paperwork wasn't in. Then because he received the contract inside 12 weeks before the fight, Higgins didn't want it. Higgins point was he needs a full camp and was not going to be short changed on that aspect. Now his opponent is named three weeks out from his fight. I don't think his style is entertaining any more. We've seen his limits and he won't change trainers to develop his full potential. Basically this is David Tua all over again in that it comes down to his own decision making has ruined any chance of becoming the best boxer he can. The blame can only be placed at parkers feet. Tua and Parker both stayed loyal to other people that can no longer help then. With Tua it was ditching the Duva's and Ronnie sheilds in favour of Kevin Barry and that incompetent piece of **** Cedric kushner. Parkers whole problem is his loyalty to Kevin Barry. His fights are boring and predictable now. There is no hope for him with Barry. Everyone can see that. Next after this fight he will go back to fighting in Auckland fleecing the New Zealand punter's. The problem is previously sky tv had a monopoly in new zealand. Now with more streaming services I don't think they will get the money they made before. I think it's over. A few nothing fights or lack lustre outings again good opponents....then that's it. The best thing he can do is if he is visiting fury in camp, maybe ask if sugar Hill is free, otherwise go give Ben Davison a call.
Eddies got his favourites. I remember once not so long ago it was kell brook, now he’s a total afterthought. Earn with Hearn if your face fits, unfortunately JP is one disaster away from the promotional scrap heap, much like kell brook.
headbutt knockdown ho hum..... Parker won but didn’t. Which seems to fit his mentality, his fight against lepai was terrible
Just let him have a tune up At least he isn't eating a deep fried Snickers bar, he's at least staying active. Parker said four fights in 2020
At first read, I thought your comments are a bit harsh but on second thoughts your just saying what us kiwis are afraid of. that he is just not mentally tough to either make the changes in his team that he needs to & not tough enough to bang with the big boys . this fight will tell the tale, he will either come out and knock this guy over and show us he has some form. or he will just jog along to a decision and then we will know his future is as you say. I remember watching Tua annihilate Cameron, and I was whopping it up. I thought Tua had turned a corner, that the bad times had finally made him appreciate his gift, but I was wrong. It would be nice if the only problem with Parker was that he was rushed and just not ready for AJ & Whyte.
For Parker, that fight is just a warm-up for bigger challenges, Winters has absolutely no chance in that fight...
Parker is same age as Hrgovic. Career over lol, hes 27? 28? Hasnt even hit his prime yet. Pull my other leg. Couple soft opponents cause he couldnt get a big one and apparently its over, Wilder had 40 of them before he even fought a live body.
Cancellation of the Chisora fight hurt Parker badly Can he rebuild? Yes - but he needs good promotion with the $$$'s to get him decent fights.
Yep for sure, he knew Whyte would come in rough and aggressive and Parker was banking on nullifying all that with skill and speed and finesse But Parker got beat down and ruffed up too much and he and his trainers gameplan failed so for sure it impacted him because he is supposed to be the more experience and skilled boxer
