    Dubious almost got chinned by inferior fighters to Parker

    Heavyweight boxing is different. All of these static plodders can lose to one another. Parker can win this fight...

    Parker's power wains down the stretch as he gets tired and he goes onto the backfoot in preservation mode. Always been his weakness against opponents who can push him and that won't change.

    Dubois hurt his ankle and knee vs Lerena which is why he went down and vs Lartey he was never close to getting stopped.

    If anything Dubois is probably a tad overrated himself.

    Joshua is 35 and hasn't had any real notable win in like 5 years.

    Hrgovic was beating Dubois until the headbutts.

    And Miller is a 300+ pound blubber ball.

    Needless to say I think this is the best opponent Dubois has fought who is in good form recently with a solid enough chin to extend him into the 2nd half of the fight.

    We'll see what Dubois is made of or if his recent run of form flattered him.

    Dubois isn’t overrated, he hasn’t been picked to clearly win in any of those fights and even this Parker fight Dubois is only slightly favoured when you look at opinions.

    You are sure going to look like a right egg if he doesn't.

    Well this thread clearly demonstrates you overrate him.

    Dubois is the real deal and underrated by most

    Parker was the underdog in his recent wins also, and he is the clear underdog against Dubois as well. Lots of people are saying 50/50 but ultimately picking Dubois and the odds have him paying ~3.5 to win.

    We'll find out on Saturday I haven't really got an opinion on the fight I favour Dubois but I think this fight will answer some unanswered questions whether or not Dubois is the real deal.

    I'm no fan of Parker, he is boring in every aspect from the ring to interviews
    He'd be poor for boxing as a champion imo

    However he isn't rubbish, and his recent improments are genuine
    Ill always respect him but he kinda just hangs around the contenders like a bad smell

    Parker is an underdog for a reason. He’s not as good as Daniel Dubois. We’ve seen him time and time again there’s no unknowns about him. A good fighter without the nasty streak and spite needed to ever be the man.

    I really hope he can KO Dubois sooner than anyone else.

    He has all the tools to do it. I already bet on him.

    Parker is good
    Kabayel is better ( we will see in the future, at least I hope so)
