Parker ducking Lucas Browne ?

He'd make a wonderful drag act.

 

Him and Sam Soliman should go on the road, Priscilla style.

 

I would have agreed with you but Cojanu and Hughie weren't displays to scare Browne much. I think Browne puts away Cojanu in mid rounds at worst. He was a bit fortunate vs Chagaev, agreed, but showed he can take a beating and still have something left. Parker should be favoured but no easy outing.

 

No they weren't but that doesn't mean Browne would last the distance. Both men fought to survive and used negative tactics to avoid getting drilled by Parker. Browne can't and doesn't fight that way. He'd attempt to knock Parker out and that plays right into Parker's strengths since Parker has a great chin and significantly better handspeed and overall athleticism. Browne's power makes him dangerous but if he can't land it then he's a goner, and early.

 

You could be correct. Browne has no interest in just surviving the rounds, and he is a bit slower as you say. Would play right into Parker's hands, but he is a very game heavy Browne. It would be a much better fight for it, even if Browne gets stopped.

 

Absolutely. That's why I'd like to see it happen. Guaranteed slugfest with a KO either way (heavily leaning towards Parker getting it, but could happen for Browne if he lands another hail mary).
