repsac Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced I love the face that these BIG fights are getting made. Another sold out stadium for Joshua. He's a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced Parker has been making bold statements, something along the lines that he will crush Joshua's jaw. Can't wait! :boxing: To see the fight I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced --- Win, lose or draw, gonna be a beautiful spring for the heavyweight division. True dat. What we really need is to get rid of all the old, dead weight in the division, and make room for the most promising young guns to step up fast. There are currently only 3-4 really serious guys in the top fifteen. (I would have included Fat Andy, but evidently he retired after getting robbed against Parker.) Also, what we really need is for Parker & Ungonoh to both find a real trainer. And for Dinu to find serious management. And for Al Haymon to get hit by a bus.

The_budweiser Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced I can see an early nights work for Joshua. I've not been impressed with Parker so far. I hope Joshua comes in light and losses the extra weight he carried against Klitschko and Takam or it could be his down fall as it was affecting his stamina.

cecilbwhite Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced Parker looks like someone who has found his level. No improvement since he stepped up from facing punching bags, and looked clueless against Fury. He'd better have more of a plan than just banking on Joshua's chin. I see Joshua busting him up the same sort of way he did Breazeale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced Parker hasn't got an ounce of inventiveness or guile. Its an early night for all at Cardiff. Hearn had best have a couple of floating fights on standby. That said, AJ deffo has stamina issues circa R6 along with a vulnerable jaw around mid-fight too. And this is what Parker's team should be focusing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Joshua busting him up the same sort of way he did Breazeale. Ugonoh is the same. A brilliant physical specimen, who is as one-dimensional as it gets in the ring, despite his incredible speed and power. This is why I keep saying, these guys need to get away from trainer Kevin Barry. The guy is apparently clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced Parker's team seem to be making noise that he's gonna move more and box. Good Luck with that. I like Parker but his trainer ain't good. He's still young but not improved. He doesn't know how to cut-off a ring and his defense is poor. He's tough but no one can just keep taking shots from Joshua. Great it's in my hometown of Cardiff again. Hopefully, get more Welsh fighters on the card.

LondonRingRules Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Re: Joshua v Parker Fight Announced --- Parker wouldn't be the first to level accusations against Parker and won't be the last.
