Guys im pumped for this as it is a legit title fight. Both fighters are legit threats to each other and I think this has the makings of a great fight!
Parker is a genuine talent that hasnt been at his peak over the last year but still won his fights. That says a lot for his temperament because he was not relying on KO's to get the job done.
I also have never seen Joshua talking about losing a fight before but he has started doing it in the lead up to this fight. Honestly I think this fight could be epic and is a lot closer than people realize.
Question, if Joshua does not knock out Parker can you actually see him winning this against Parkers superior speed?
It doesnt matter if he was training for another fight ,when youve NEVER fought someone OVERLY shorter than you its extremely difficult to gage range . Takam ALWAYS has fought TALLER guys ...what dont you understand ?
I can tell you that from experience bc i was used to guys over 6'2 , one of the hardest fights i had was a shorter guy ,and my blood was everywhere .
Punch stats ? oh please along with video evidence ?lol ...Had the fight taken place outside NZ ,Parker wouldve lost .
Go back to sleep you gotta be hung over or something ?
Either way i wont waste my time further ...continue being wrong as usual !:burnout:
So you think fighting Takam 2 years older and after preparing for another fighter is harder than a Takam just prepared for you? and AJ has fought his whole career fighting shorter guys lol half his pro resume was within 1 inch of Takam... and Takam is not used to fighting 6'6 guys at all.
punches thrown is easily countable, and the video evidence of the fight is there for all to see, Takam was WAY more aggressive from round 5-9 than he was against Joshua. Any one reading this can easily compare the fights. I've watched both fights numerous times.
It was a close fight, and maybe you are right, but we're not arguing that are we?
I'm done, you're hurting my brain.
you do realise juggernutter666 is totally insane right? good luck trying to have a rational conversation with him. just enjoy the madness, one of my favorite quotes on here was from him way before AJ even fought klitschko.
'AJ is the GOAT' :lol1:
I'm starting to get that feeling, It's entertaining at least. I quit this forum for near on a year and he remembers everything I have ever said about AJ, still wallowing in his "victory" just because I thought Klitschko would win.
Takam signed a contract the day the Pulev fight was made.
He had a fight scheduled but wasnt training ? lol
Takam fought in close against Joshua ,he pressed him for thre majority of the time . Put the booze down and rewatch it sober !:friday:
The announcers in the Parker vs Takam fight were even criticising Takams lack of urgency and puzzled why he was backing up and not pressing ,yet still outlanded Parker .
Parker proved he needs to fight more fights ,its a complete mismatch !:sad6:
Yes but he was training for a different fighter on a different card, you said he was training FOR Joshua, he wasn't, I never said he wasn't training, I said he was fit?
Are you drunk?
Yeah you definitely watched a different fight to me, Takam was moving most of the fight vs Joshua and threw 12 punches less per round on average. It was obvious that Takam's game plan the first few rounds vs Parker was to take the young Parker into the later rounds and pressure him, the punch stats back that up, but he was certainly make Parker work despite not throwing much. 16, 25, 14, 37, 44, 43, 30, 66 the first 8 rounds so you can say he didn't pressure much the first 3 feeler rounds and then picked up the face coming forward.
But he was even worse the first 4 round against Joshua 11, 21, 21, 17 and only the 5th round he exceeded more than 30 punches lol
You can't win this one I'm afraid, I have video evidence and punch stats to back me up on this.

Regarding the actual fight, it's worth watching but not anything special. If we're honest, we're watching to measure just where AJ is at. Parker is a huge underdog. Not because he's bad, but because he has no one strength that convinces anyone he's beating AJ. He's a good all-arounder, with no advantage in power, size, technique, experience, etc. He should have a little more stamina, possibly a tad faster, but it's not a compelling matchup.
He was training for a fight in Monaco the following week you liar! he was definitely was not training FOR Joshua, he was just fit.
Don't know what fight you watched but Takam fought back foot against Joshua and used loads of lateral movement, barely threw a punch and was come-forward against Parker throwing lots more.....watch the fight again and try and not be bias, Takam threw much more against Parker......seriously who are you trying to convince here with these lies?

As you can see, even if you only count the first 9 full rounds and don't count the 134 he threw in the last 3 rounds against Parker, Takam threw more vs Parker in all but the 3rd round. Over the 9 rounds: 35 per round average vs Parker and 23 per round vs Joshua, including a huge 66 in the 8th.
You can't even view fights properly. He was back foot and moving against Joshua due to power gap and size, he was much more aggressive against a green and younger/smaller Parker, and pressured him a lot in the last half of the fight especially testing his stamina, a young Parker proved his toughness in that fight against a very good Takam for me.

'AJ is the GOAT' :lol1:
This is more B.S .....
Chris Martin ( Parkers former trainer ) said he was watching Takam train for Joshua as soon as he signed as a replacement and said what everybody with common sense would know already and thats its by far harder to adjust to last minute opponents .
Takam was also 235 for Joshua and was far more aggressive .
He should have won the Parker fight and he barely fought him with a pulse except spurts here and there .
When Joshua smokes him or even wins every round your excuses will not be in short supply anyway ,so get them ready !:cool2:

He literally scraped past takam lol. He was losing the fight until the last couple of rounds when takam tired. You all must be watching a different Parker to me, he's not got a chance and the bookies odds are spot on.
Every fighter needs a chance to shine, and styles make fights. I believe Parker will have improved from those fights and is a better fighter than 2 years ago, also, Takam had a full camp and was 2 years younger so the comparison to the Joshua fight is nonsense.
I believe we will see the best Joseph Parker, he has the ability to really test Joshua with his skill set, speed, stamina, chin and movement..... but that's all hypothetical until he performs and we see him at his best.
Question, if Joshua does not knock out Parker can you actually see him winning this against Parkers superior speed?
I think people will be surprised at how many times Parker wins the battle of jabs and manages to hit and move. I can see him winning a lot of rounds....and if he gets into the second half of the fight I think he can dominate.
Question, if Joshua does not knock out Parker can you actually see him winning this against Parkers superior speed?
Yes. Joshua isn't exactly slow, especially not when it comes to hand speed. He also has a decent jab to keep Parker at bay if needs be with the longer reach too.
Plus let's be honest if it goes to the cards Joshua isn't losing unless he's knocked down multiple times as anything that's remotely 50-50 will go his way.
To answer your question, it should be the other way around, If Parker can't KO AJ, can he actually win a decision if he does not win every round and or drop AJ multiple times? considering Hearns reputation for robberies and horrendous scorecards in favour of his home fighters on his cards, let alone his no.1 cash cow.
^ignore the above poster, he thinks connor ben, ohara davies and joe joyce are 'special talents' :lol1:
