1.5/5.....AJ is going backwards as a fighter for me and I’m a fan.
Have to say, the Wilder challenge is looking closer and closer than I thought previously.
Wilder is a bellend regardless.
I think we're expecting too much from a division that's still shit, granted with some fun fights that can be made but thats about it.
Considering how gifted AJ is physically, I give his performance a 1
Even though I know AJ and have known him a long time, I'll be honest and he has been pretty honest with himself too, it was a 2.5/5 type of performance. 50% good, 50% bad.
Parker had herky jerky movement, stayed out of range and connected some of his own punches. AJ did not like that one bit and failed to capitalise in close.
We have to remember, he has only been serious about boxing for maybe 10 years, so he is a learning champion.
Joshua won comfortably enough at least 8-4 or i think 9-3.....you have always been a dummy on this site and you get more twisted every day.
Guess what f@ckstick joshua just beat an undefeated champion to claim another title and he did over 12 rounds with good stamina.
Suck on them hairy balls son
oh look another cuck running to defend his BBC god.
3/5...Was a bit harsh on AJ whilst watching the fight. Now watching it back he did better than I first thought. ray your wise enough to inow you cannot inock them all out in spectacular fashion and one thing i will say about joshua is every time someone doubts an attriute of his he proves them wrong...last night was stamina and staying disciplined behind his jab all night and not right hand hungry....joshua 9-3 against an unbeaten tuff champion is not a bad result
you just make **** up to suit whatever pathetic agenda you have, first its an easy early knockout over a TERRIBLE opponent, then its 'what more could he do'? :lol1:
Now you'll just pretend it was a dominant performance where he won every round because of the corrupt judging and refereeing, but you'll just ignore all that & lol @ you attempting to mock me for predicting two 12 & 15-0 prospects would meet in 3 years time to fight for the HW unification

I'll say 3, he won wide on the cards and controlled the entire 2nd half of the fight, but I wish he had been more aggressive and thrown more combinations. He looked a bit timid (Parker much more so though) and hesitant to let his hands go and get into exchanges. I'm a bit concerned that war with Wlad has changed his mentality a bit. Are we seeing a change in approach like Klitschko after his losses or Lennox after working with Steward? I hope not, cuz pre-Takam AJ was the most exciting fighter in the sport. Hope his next fight he is much more aggressive.
2/5
They fought at a distance of about only a foot separating them with Parker on his back foot all night and the most Joshua could muster were some jabs and a handful of missed uppercuts.
I scored the bout 117-111 AJ but it was a poor performance. At that distance I expected some bombs to fly.
it was a dominant performance. i think you and the other lunatics on this forum have lost touch with reality cause the vast majority had joshua winning wide. he barely had to get out of 3rd gear against parker. 119-110 was poor but 118-110 really isnt that unrealistic, especially considering the stats have parker only outlanding him in 1 round. but i guess he was 'cagey and awkward' which on this site translates to winning rounds cause landing punches never seems that important on here.
yes im a lunatic for suggesting he did not win every round.
jesus you are an awful spastic.
Joshua is NOT improving, neither is he particularly skilled.
He appears to have become gun shy, afraid of counters since his opposition has risen in quality.
Klitschko almost beat him with movement, dominating the jab and comparable size /power.
I never thought I'd say this but...Wilder would be my pick if they fought tommorow, I don't think Joshua would risk exchanges and Wilder actually seems to have a better engine.
Joshua will not fight Wilder for at least 12-18 months, too risky for Hearn to lose his Nigerian cash cow...
Parker is a disgrace and embarrassment to the sport of boxing, so many hungry fighters out there who would kill for such opportunity and would go all out. AND TO THINK Joshua looked like crap against a guy like that, Joshua is a bum himself.
i dont think a single person ive spoken to in the real world had parker 4-2 up going into round 6 lol. yeah, parker didnt do great, he barely landed a shot in most the rounds. i thought he'd get knocked out but he never opened himself up to land his own shots. i guess its a moral victory by going the distance though and not getting knocked out? you should be keeping damn quiet after your 'prophecy' thread, what was it again, parker to score a come from behind knockout? :lol1:

3/5. Did what he needed to do. No more than that.
Many boxers make a career out of that.
Wladimir springs to mind, it was that kind of performance.
Heavyweight writer Dan Rafael had it 116-112 for Joshua
That is exactly how I had it as well, it wasn't one sided
... and to answer the question i'd give him 4/5. he won almost every round, what more do people want
LOL you were of of the people claiming parker was terrible and this would be an easy early knockout :lol1:
most non biased AJ cuckboys had JP 4-2 after 6. lol @ 'every round'
I'm not a Joshua fan, but Parker was very defensive minded and didn't try to engage much. It's hard to look good against a guy like that. He fought with the mindset of not getting hurt, and trying to actually win was secondary. Parker actually had some success when he let his hands go.
Joshua knocked out everyone he faced, but at the top level some opponents just can't be put away. Even Tyson won by decision a few times.
3/5...
