    I cannot imagine a worse style match up for this version of Alfred Angulo...

    Anyone sensing any potential upsets this weekend...? I can't say my alarm bells are going off for anything yet, though I do feel like Joshua/Parker is going to be a decision as opposed to a knockout.

    Bookmakers are not seeing any possible upset.

    Joshua @1.18
    Povetkin @1.05
    Kelly @1.02
    Burnett @1.03

    and even Davies Jnr @1.48

    Mohammedi is a prized higher with @1.63

    Molina is a banana skin I feel. Crafty Veteran against a showboating style which punishes the journeymen he has been facing.

    Honestly wouldnt be surprised if Parker does overcome AJ. What makes me a lot more confident in AJ though is how much leaner he looks. Means he took his conditioning issue seriously which is one of my main concerns with him. But Parker looks to be in superb shape as well.

    Dont get me wrong, I would consider it a genuine upset.... but one that wouldnt really surprise me.

    Eh, he's just dropped two decisions in a row, and the last one was not to anyone approaching world beater level. He's slipped a great deal in recent years and is now on the wrong side of 30...

    I'm going to Vegas this weekend and putting sizable bets down on Parker by KO and Joshua by Decision. I think Parker has a legitimate shot at the KO because I do believe AJ has a shaky chin. I wouldn't call it glass but it isn't good either. I'd put Wilder in that same category.

    Regarding Joshua's stamina, I don't think you can improve it very much when you weigh 240 pounds+. All you can really do is pace yourself better, something Wlad Klitchsko learned as his career progressed. Your muscles just burn up too much oxygen, Mike Tyson had the same problem and it was the reason why he didn't score many late round KO's. His stamina wasn't there after 6-7 rounds and his power went down somewhat.

    The HW's with good stamina weren't giants, like Marciano or Frazier. I chuckle when people think size is everything. Sure a guy like Wlad Klitschko or AJ could blitz some of the smaller heavyweights but if they don't get them early they would be a sitting duck for many HW's in the past. In fact, that is exactly what happened to Klitschko a few times (like Brewster and Purrity).
