    Parker, based on speed.

    Hard to predict, but I'd put my money on Parker by late TKO.

    I think realistically, Parker should be seen as the underdog - but an INCREDIBLY live underdog. I don't know how to call this, it's both exciting and worrying. I hope he has his best fighting face on that day!

    This poll suggest this isn't a competitive fight. Takam, the most popular casualty.

    True, based upon who they have beaten and experience Takam should definitely be the favourite but people see Parker's speed and combinations and hope he could potentially be better.

    I don't think this is an easy fight for Parker, it's a big step up and for the first time we will see Parker truly tested. Parker could come unstuck when pushed, we really don't know how he'll cope.

    But like everyone else, I siding with Parker. Takam will pose problems early but in the end Parker grinds him down and subdues him.

    Yeah my heart at least wants Parker to win, and I can see him having a win in it but as someone else mentioned - this poll suggests its not competitive.

    People REALLY need to not underestimate Takam, it sells the fight as well as the people involved in it really short. I actually think popularity and titles aside this is a bigger fight than Joshua vs Martin.

    I wouldn't say It's bigger but definetly a better fight for a diehard boxing fan. :good

    I'm nervous. I want JP to live up to what many people believe he can achieve. I'm picking JP by KO...I just think he has that x factor when it comes to finishing off people when opportunity arises.
