Parker does look small compared to Joshua, but Holyfield was not as big as Parker and only weighed 214 lbs. It looks like a mismatch, could be, but we really don't know until fight night....................
The biggest issue Parker will have in regards to size will be reach, I couldn't help but notice during the Gloves off face off that his arms were T-rex like in comparison to Joshua's reach.
Joshua is smaller than Parker naturally frame wise. If AJ didnt lift weights he would probably lose mass. Klitschko was the same. Off camp Klitschko tended to go down in weight.
But not at the end of his opponents punches. AJ needs full extension for his power, save the UC that nearly decapitated Wlad. Parker is the boss inside tomorrow, and has the better jab if he can establish the range to get under AJs right hand
Height and reach could be an issue if Joshua frustrates him. If Parker finds himself lunging in, like he did against Fury, he’ll find something nasty waiting on the other end. Parker has shown that he will over commit, if he cannot close the distance.
So if Parker’s lost every one of the first 10 rounds, has been dropped twice and in trouble a few times, had zero success in getting to Joshua, has close to fight ending cuts over both eyes and then finds himself pinned on the ropes again in the 11th you want him to stay in there taking punishment? Don’t you like him?
I think Parker will finally go down based on accumulation of blows because AJ not knocking him down or out with a single punch. Like you, I hope the ref lets these two duke it out without inserting himself into the outcome
lol.. you can try and find every excuse you want.. but the takam fight should not of been stopped takam was losing yes but Joshua was tiring abit.
eh u may be right.. but if parker can catch Joshua with the same punch whyte stunned him with.. I think parker can put him down with his faster handspeed.
