Haye starting to look like Snoop dog. I guess we'll see him fighting on Thriller soon...

Del should be on there already!

Gonna put few quid on Parker stopping Chisora. That punch resistance is fading.

Chisora invited Parker to meet up and have breakfast with him in the Matchroom bubble. The video of that meeting is up on YT. Parker looked a little wary to begin with, but Del Boy was friendly, polite, quite the charming gentleman, in fact, and Parker was soon looking relaxed and chatting away happily about his children, etc.

Then at the stare down Derek stepped up to Parker, took hold of Joe's arms and placed them around his own waist, then gave him a long, lingering bro hug. Parker looked confused and a little embarrassed by Chisora's lovey-dovey antics, and I'm sure this is some kind of mind-game cooked up by Derek and his mentor, David Haye.

I suspect they may be trying to charm Joe and lull him into stepping into the ring with the wrong kind of mindset for an important fight, kind of like Andy Ruiz did with AJ before their first fight. Parker has been criticised for lacking the meanness and combative character needed for top class boxing. Chisora may be trying to take advantage of that.

His punch resistance? Delboy has been flattened, mauled, boxed, he's lost every way there is to lose. I think. That's a safe bet.

Incredible how big hearn is, most hw look small next to him.

[War Room]

Haye looks sick, real thin.

Interesting fight.
Parker should prevail on relative youth, skill and size alone.
But never count Derekhhh out. He brings War to the ring.
Parker with new trainer. Should be interesting to see if any changes to his game.

Early stoppage of Chisora will be impressive.
