Parker's Matchmaker chimes in- https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/comba...plains-why-kiwi-is-a-redhot-chance-of-winning
Its possible, but Joshuas technique is better, and if Parker isn't careful he'll get countered with something big, and with the power Joshua has that could be all she wrote! I'm definitely hyped for this one!
He’s lost weight and going for speed because he knew he was too heavy against Takam. He doesn’t want to make the same mistake again. Joshua is faster than Parker.
Some delusional Posters in this thread! I remember the same posters claiming Martin was gonna KO AJ lol! AJ will flatten Parker, he’s levels above him.
Parker is faster than Joshua?? Im not convinced and if he is it will be by a small margin, im yet to see this lightening fast Joseph Parker, he looks fast on mits, but then I look fast on Mits and im really not. But where is this lightening fast Joseph Parker in his fights? I keep saying this but Parker fans are claiming he is going to do things against Joshua he never showed he could do before. He is going to use speed and movement, ive watched so many Parker fights and im still waiting for speed and movement. Just cuz they think they can see what it takes to beat Joshua doesnt mean they can actually do it.
Voidimir B1tschko even had terrible stamina when he was prime fool. Half the reason he held and leaned was to waste time and rest. His workrate over 12 was dogsh1t his whole career. Watch Brewster KO him if you want a clear example of that. Who has Joshua put to sleep? It's widely accepted by people who know boxing that Joshua doesn't have one punch KO power at all. Wilder has devastating power. Joshua has decent, but nothing special power. Accept it. As I've said before, to beat Joshua you need any two of these three: Chin Stamina 1 punch KO power Prime B1tschko only had one of those and he nearly beat Joshua. Parker claims to have 2 of those. If he does he outlasts and stops a gassed AJ, much like Takam might have if the ref didn't save AJ.
You want to see the speed, mobility and power? Watch Parker's first 18 fights below- This content is protected
parker is faster in his combos than joshua parker has the quickest hands in the division but he needs to be in range up close to use his speed
just like virtually every prospect at heavy there first 18 figths are showcases. parkers fights to watch are takam/ruiz jnr/fury / most important fight was ruiz jnr he gave everything and came to win. this is the criteria i use when trying to analyse fighters. parker v ruiz was a very good fight / showed me what parker has and does not have same as joshua v klitchko
watch the takam fight especially 8th round that was absolutley blistering speed 20 punch combo parker put on takam punched himself out doing it but the speed was there for all to see.
That 20 punch combo had about 15 land on Takam. AJs 6 Punch combo had 2 land on Takam. Difference was, AJ had his ref ready for a British Stoppage. Now would people look at the Parker vs Takam fight differently if the ref stopped the fight in the 8th, instead of Parker getting the decision??? Yeah they would, and they would have a better comparison against the AJ vs Takam fight. Considering Takam is 2 years older when he fought AJ, while Parker was very young (24yrs) and a legit top 15 boxer Takam was his first major step-up.
