Comments Thread For: Photos: Joe Joyce, Joseph Parker - Face To Face at Press Conference

[P to the J]

So who is the favourite?

Parker needs a stoppage because he won’t do quite enough to get a win on cards against the geographical and promotional home fighter on the cusp of a title shot

Parker a brave man to fight towering man who breaks eye sockets

That is what I am saying.

Joseph Parker is pretty much taking on the most avoided Heavyweight in the game.

It must be a daunting task for any Heavyweight. Knowing that you are up against a 6"6 260 + pound Heavyweight, with elite durability who has inflicted serious injuries on his opponents.

Out of the current Heavyweight contenders, only really Fury, Joshua, Usyk would be better wins on anyone's record.

Parker's recent run of fights is underrated. You would think, he would go the same way as David Tua.

But Parker has seemingly got in a good grove with Andy Lee, and being around Tyson Fury has effected him positively.

Just the way he is bantering with his opponents and having a good time. I think this is down to the influence of 'The Fury's'.

Andy Lee is letting Parker be a Samoan and not draining him down to 230 skinnyfat like Kevin Barry did.

Parker was 251lbs vs Chisora and he looked thicker set than Joyce at the face off today, he will not be overawed by Joyce having a couple of inches of height and a couple of pounds on him, he's a ******** Samoan, he's not going to get pushed around like a skinny Bryant Jennings.

Joyce is stepping up several levels here, and I think Parker may retire him

At 37 years old coming off a one sided beat down, where does Joyce go really.

frank warren write a rematch clause into the contract, if joyce loses they will fight again in a rematch

Parkers chin is a lot more proven than Joyce.

Who has Joyce taken shots off? Dubois... Er Takam and Bryan.

Parker has taken shots off Joshua, Whyte, Ruiz and never really looked in any trouble, the Whyte fight being kind of a blip because he concussed Parker with a hammerhead style headbutt.

with a whaaat headbut? Do hammerhead sharks headbutt?

Great fight anyway! I thought Dubois would beat slow-as-molasses Joyce, but everyone says he's slow but he keeps finding a way to win. I'm not sure Parker hits THAT hard, decent puncher though. I could see Parker getting damaged round by round and Joyce coming forward like the unstoppable force and seemingly ok but really suffering accumulative concussion so that suddenly and shockingly Parker scores a late rounds KO with a flush punch.

Daniel Dubois was a Novice who's best opponent was Nathan Gorman.

Perspective

Parker has been in with AJ, Whyte, Ruiz, Chisora x2

I see the fight similar as you, Joyce hasn't really done anything and we all know his many flaws.

Eating punches won't work all night vs Parker and I don't think his very amateur jab game that befuddled Novice Dubois will be enough either.

[Boro]

The ease in which both Takam and Hammer were nailing him with overhand rights was beyond alarming. And neither guy can really punch, now Parker is fighting at a reasonable weight it doesn't bode well for Joyce the difference in speed and talent is quite jarring then you have the gap in experience on top of that personally can't see it going any other way then a Parker win.

My issue with Parker is he's never really had the aggression needed especially when he's got someone in trouble, if he ever gets Joyce in any kind of bad situation he needs to be on him like white on rice.

[Satir]

People still dont realize that Joyce is just a better boxer, yes, Parker will have some success in the early rounds but thats just about it

[YGriffith]

Joe joyce a rien a part sa machoire il va se faire mettre ko par parker regarder bien

Il a deja perdu en amateur par ko, c'était an overhand right.
