    The key to interpreting this fight is figuring out the bias of the judges. Will they favour Whyte, the home fighter who is with Eddie Hearn? The Parker fight is seemingly a big risk for Whyte, but if they know they will be the beneficiary of favourable judging it may not be such a risk. Whyte is close to a title shot, and is being lined up for a lucrative Anthony Joshua rematch. Also, when Chisora suggested a £100,000 bet between Hearn and Higgins, Hearn immediately stuck his hand out for a handshake. Both the fighters and their trainers seem to be suggesting they will fight aggressively, which could mean the judges won't be involved.

    I hope both stick to there word and fight aggressively, if so the judges wont be needed as one of them is getting knocked out

    unless its been mind games and both are aiming to nick rounds and fight cagey, thing is I don't see whyte doing this for 12 rounds

    with the shape Whyte has come in at, i can't see him playing for points. Looks as if he's going for the early KO

    Depends really...if its a close fight then they will probably edge it in Whytes favor..i cant see either of them getting knocked out, ive gone for Whyte by decision.

    If Whyte did knock Parker out it would shake things up for sure.

    If they are both aggressive then Whyte wins all day long.

    I am pretty sure due to my body language knowledge that Matchroom boxing has become WWE and the fights are almost fixed...or should i say enhanced by bonuses like the Dave Allen fight...

    I firmly believe Whyte wins on points and fights AJ in the 'rematch'

    Im a fan of both AJ and Whyte but i don't want to see the rematch it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Am i alone in thinking like this? Do people want the rematch?

    Well going from history, the other fights I've seen on Matchroom cards then you have to assume Whyte will get close rounds.

    I don't think it will be a blatant robbery or anything that controversial, if Parker is a clear winner then I believe he'll get a decision or a title worst a draw but I'm going to assume any rounds that are close go to Whyte, even if I believe Parker has edged them.

    Agree. Don't mind them fighting years down the line but there's far more guys I'd rather see aj first, the rest of the top 10 for a start.

    I'm hoping there's a k.o just to take it out of the hands of the judges, I'm sure they will heavily favour why he, that's why I'm surprised he's come in so heavy. Going the distance obviously isn't top of his list (whyte)

    Dillian Whyte improves every time you see him. He was a pudding when he fought AJ. He went away and invested wisely (probably with the help of Eddie), got a great trainer and nutritionist and before every fight you think “this is the best Dillian I’ve seen”. Regardless of the improvements though IMO he was lucky to survive the first round with Joshua and then the aftermath of that took AJ out his zone so he survived a lot longer. I’m not sure that Dillian Whyte can improve all the way to be a serious threat against AJ.

    Saying that you want the Wilder fight, the Fury fight then there’s probably only Usyk and Whyte.

    I expect to see "Pro Whyte" judges.

    Parker will win though, despite the judging.
