    You need to calm down a little Kiwi,

    we are still 6 weeks out! He is looking leaner and probably continue to lose a bit more mass. He should be aiming for a similar size/weight for the Breazeale fight as that IMO was when he looked his best.

    I bet he comes in around where he is - on fight night.

    Somewhere around his weight for Wlad.

    Would you believe the voice if it said Joshua were a dragon? Scales usually tell the truth.

    What?

    I think Parker has a 'good' chin. Never once have I claimed him to have a Tua chin.
    Parker couldn't walk through the shots that Tua and Ike traded for 12 rounds.

    I have watched Parker since I was a kid when we were both amateur boxers here in New Zealand, so no, my viewpoint has nothing to do with Tua.

    Parker can be stopped, mark my words. It may actually be against AJ, as he can bang.
    People who promote Parkers whiskers are granite kindly forget the fight against Nascimento. Parker was buzzed for a moment from a shot in that fight.

    Parker has a good chin, much better than both AJ and Wilder, but it would be considered 'normal' in the 90's.

    I'm from New Zealand, and know what Islanders heads are like. Majority are as tough as they come.
    Playing footy and boxing them, you have to chop them down.

    In boxing, go to the body and break them. Tua was broken mentally against Lewis when he couldn't hurt him or connect enough with his lethal left hook.

    The same as rugby, they like to play go-forward, hard rugby. Keep them on the back foot and put the ball in the their territory, they fold.

    That fight against Nascimento he had his eardrum burst. That throws out your equilibrium hugely. The fight ended up with Joe smashing him. I wouldn't put that down to his chin, its like saying that headbutt AJ got from Takam showed AJ had a poor chin.

    i saw the uppercuts land in the 6th was the eardrum damage before this ?
    parker was not staggerd but he did act weird for 60 seconds open to anything nascimento could have thrown

    but parker was a novice and was tired and he shook it off in the same round and resumed bombing.

    that right parker landed in the first /lands on AJ then aj is going down.
    camera was right behind it / surprised nasicmento got up but the count was slow.
