If Joe has the right game plan, then this fight will not be close, but I can see him getting pulled into a scrap and getting caught.
I think Joe and the team have been working on effective aggression while being defensively responsible in recent years, and had great success with it. Wardley won't be hard to find so it's up to Joe how he wants to fight it. I expect him to be exactly where he wants to most of the time in this one.
Even in the Bakole fight You could see Parker was staying in the pocket more - and more willing to trade Thus he got the early KO It is "intelligent aggression"
Yeah he was catching criticism for it too. He was also catching punches, but Parker always had the ability to trade, he just preferred not to.
