JP has a real edge in these 3 things - SPEED, MOVEMENT and CHIN - plus STAMINA
They have a gameplan to get in and out all night TRULY HURTING Joshua and not letting him settle
This is why I believe Parker will get the KO. And Barry does too
The thing I notice with Parker is his SPEED.
I put on a reel of his earlier fights, then watched Joshua straight after. Joshua looked so S-L-O-W compared with Parker!!
I think Parker might be able to get in and out all night - BAM BAM BAM - only getting tagged with arm shots. This is what he has done with several tall powerful guys. He always KOs that kind of fighter. They cannot handle his SPEED.
Frankly, I believe Vinnkin's comments are very well thought out
and we will find out how true they are on March 31st.
Parker is capable of doing a "dimitrenko" on Joshua. Wait and see....
One thing I notice about Joshua is that after 3 rounds he seems to slow somewhat.
I expect Parker to weather those first rounds and take it to AJ after.
Many will be surprised by how well JP performs here in my view. I think he'll avoid the worst of AJ's power by being right in close or out beyond range. Nothing in between.
Actually, Joe has fought many guys that were lower-powered versions of AJ.
Saglam, Nascimento, Meehan, Dimitrenko. Not quite the same power but the same "type" (roughly)
When you watch those fights you see Joe get in and out fast all night. This could be the plan.
Ends up hurting them and "chasing them around the ring" - which is exactly what he has promised to do to Joshua.
