Wilder vs Parker: who will you be rooting for?

On December 23 in Saudi Arabia, Deontay Wilder will face Joseph Parker. Who do you hope wins?

Although I find Deontay Wilder entertaining, I will be rooting for Joseph Parker to win on Saturday. He seems to be a good bloke and he's more dedicated to the sport than Wilder has been, and has fought more real contenders over the years.

The current betting odds of 7 to 1 are ridiculously wide and in reality Parker has a decent 35-40% chance of winning, given Wilder's poorer boxing technique, plus his inactivity and age. That being said, Wilder has great one-punch power and it won't be easy for Parker to avoid his punch for the entire fight.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Parker has never said anything untoward to his opponents. For that reason, I hope Joseph pulls off the upset.

 

Rooting for Parker. A real gentleman who never disses his opponents nor whines about losses.

 

Of course, I too root for Parker

I genuinely think he can pull it off

 

I'll be rooting for Wilder. I'll be rooting for a gentleman's fight and judging over Wilder. Not to beat Wilder with elbows, heads, low blows, for the referee to count down 50 seconds while he's on the floor...

 

Rotting for Parker, he is a likeable guy, and i think talent wise he is right at the top, but wrong stuff on the work.

 

I like Parker but I'm rooting for Wilder because I want to see the AJ fight next. Wilder winning just brings more excitement to the division.

 

Wilder for me. Yes, he's heavily flawed, yes, he had the lamest excuses for a loss ever, but he's always fun to watch. I'm hoping we get him vs. AJ next.

 

I've consistently been disappointed in Parker but I can't help but cheer for him.

 

Parker is too soft. I'm tired of it. Strikes me more as cowardly than of good character.

For me, it's Wilder all the way. Courageous, strong, and dynamic. Heart of a lion. Exciting and inspiring.

I expect Wilder to win, but I do hope it's not too one sided or I'll feel bad for Parker.

 

Wilder and not because he's American but because he's actually exciting. Parker is just so boring. It will be pretty cool to see him get flattened.

 

Parker all day long

 

Flawed boxers being passed of as exciting
It's like being surrounded by khan fans back in the day
If you say so
Wilder wont have no home advantages
No long counts
No judge on the payroll
Hence he will fight a couple of times over there in saudi then call it a day
The money with no belt is to tempting to hide in america
Hes just started taking the risks with so little left
It's quite funny

 

I like both guys and just wanna see a good fight. I maybe lean slightly towards Wilder as I want to see Joshua vs Wilder down the line.
