    Absolutely diabolic. No boxing technique whatsoever ..The question I ask myself are these the opponent that Parker needs or is it a confidence thing ....Personally these opponent will not help him progress ...He will be in for a rude awakening ..this is the first time I seen him......so need to see how he fights with someone who can actually fight...so at the moment can not give you no input on how he would do against anyone in the top 30

    Yep, I think he is getting hyped more than hes guna be able to deliver. Certainly not calling him a bum or anyting but i see him getting destroyed at the top level.

    I agree this was a step backwards for parker. the Kiwi's need to put some money up and get a top 20 guy now or somebody like a Mariusz Wach or Johann Duhaupas, a tough guy, who will test Parker.

    Exactly. Same goes for anyone else people cry about the level of opposition. The attitude people are giving Parker is like he's being tested or beaten by these guys.... he's not at all.

    At the start of 2015 there was no secret that this was roughly how the year was going to go and I'm not too shocked, perhaps a little let down at the finale but thems the breaks... given the amount of activity (he is fighting again in 6 weeks!) its not a huge shock this guy was going to be cannon fodder.

    Team Parker have said they are aiming for a top 10 fight (presumably IBF/WBO/WBC/something) in the not too distant future so things should start getting more interesting.
