Parker?

AJ couldn't even stop Breazale in 5-6 rounds, a human punching bag. He got a British stoppage against Takam and it took him 11 rounds to stop old man Klitschko, who nearly had him KTFO.

If an early stoppage happens, it'll be Parker scoring it not AJ.

 

Oh like Parker has done to all of his recent opponents right?

 

One thing I notice about Joshua is that after 3 rounds he seems to slow somewhat.

I expect Parker to weather those first rounds and take it to AJ after.

Many will be surprised by how well JP performs here in my view. I think he'll avoid the worst of AJ's power by being right in close or out beyond range. Nothing in between.

 

It’s such a convenience that his power went because he needed surgery isn’t it? Had nothing to do with the fact that it just so happened to coincide with his step up in talent!

Parker is average/below average at best in all departments.

I think Breazale is a much better fighter and we seen how he got dispensed.

Also there is not a chance Parker is faster than AJ. Not on this planet.

 

Right in close he’s getting uppercutted to heaven. I’ll be genuinely worried for him.

 

What is AJ excelent at?

 

ive never seen this fight, looks a cracker

 

The only form that counts for Parker is what he produces on the weekend.

He can punch, take a punch & stay.

If he's good enough to get himself into the fight (which remains to be seen) he can do something.

 

Joe has fought many guys that were lower-powered versions of AJ.

Saglam, Nascimento, Meehan, Dimitrenko. Not quite the same power but the same "type" (roughly)

When you watch those fights you see Joe get in and out fast all night. This could be the plan.

Ends up hurting them and "chasing them around the ring" - which is exactly what he has promised to do to Joshua.

 

Think about how everyones opinion of Wilder has improved since he nailled a couple of has-beens. I know my opinion of him has improved.
Everyones opinion of Parker has sufferred cause he is taking hard fights, and being made to look bad.

 

i give parker a chance

AJ is better technically/ defensivley/power wise/variety /jab /

parker is better speed wise
he has very fast hands up close in combos

they are very hard to defend against because they are delivered with so much speed

but parkers main attribute to winning this fight will be his chin which will have to take a pounding and parker can then win on attrition / being able to stand in the poclet and trade without being kod.

it is said he has sparred 100s of rounds with ogunuh who hits a ton and if parker was never wobbled then he indeed IMO will be able to take joshua power and be there at the final bell or win by ko.

but against this parker was hurt by a nacismento uppercut and his defense after was **** poor / nascimento never went for it so parker recovered after 30 seconds or so.

nascimento is not a puncher.

the not being even wobbled by ogonuh and yet hurt by nasicimento does not add up IMO

nasicmento fight was a long time ago and early in parkers career.

parker has improved

the fights to analyse parker on are takam and ruiz
corjanu is a top 100 fighter at best and parker for whatever reasons went through the motions was very low key and lacked variety or ideas against a fighter i saw KTFO like browne was v an average dometisc american fighter.

for parker to win he must show me an iron chin / when he moves back he MUST MUST move his head and roll /duck / get his hands up/ as watching his fights and AJ fights great chin or not this is where IMO aj will catch parker and ko him.

if he can take these shots then this is prkers best shot at winning / AJ spent and parker come on strong and let rip with the fast combos on a tired joshua.

if parker as some have suggested moves a lot in this fight IMO it will be a mistake
he is not going to outbox joshua on the outside
it will alow joshua to box at his pace and control the fight and distance
parkers jab is fast but it is light and flicked / ruiz jab was much better and effective than parkers and i expect AJ to have a more effective jab as well

parker has to get in the pocket / take the artillary aj throws / keep up a steady pace and make t a hard gruelling slugfest where his handspeed in the pocket and durabilty come to the fore

can he do it IMO no AJ punches to hard and parker defense is to pourous but that is a gameplan that will work V aj if parker has the fundamentals to do it.

 

JP has a real edge in these 3 things - SPEED, MOVEMENT and CHIN - plus STAMINA

They have a gameplan to get in and out all night TRULY HURTING Joshua and not letting him settle

This is why I believe Parker will get the KO. And Barry does too

 

Who?!

 

parker has the advantage of speed up close / from range its even
movement ? neither are movers

chin yep joshua chin is average / parkers might be good

but parker has faced dimetrenko/takam/fury/corjanu/ruiz. as his step up fights.

none of them have any power.

after the joshua fight we will know for sure parkers chin /at the moment its only guess work and higgins that we can judge it on.

browne looked to have a good chin at his level and was just absolutly KTFO stone cold.

 

You are absolutely deluded. Parker is a slow lumbering pudding who gassed against that Romanian sparring partner, Ruiz, Takam and even Fury. Slow laboured lumbering plodding pudding.
