Comments Thread For: Parker: This is My Arena - Fury, Chisora Twice and Joyce Will Be My Fourth Win There

[Sweet_Science_]

Parker looked fantastic in his last fight. Joyce is going to make him look like the second coming of SRR. I think Parker win this on points with his movement and boxing skills. This new version of Parker under Andy Lee is a much better fighter than Kevin Barry had.

Wasn't very high on Joyce a few years back but he's made a believer out of me.

Parker will be on his bike for most of this fight.

Joyce by UD.

Pretty much agree with this, for large parts of the AJ and some of the Whyte fight he looked like a lost puppy in there.

Joyce’s jab will cause him all sorts of problems

There’s multiple fights where he went into a sort of acceptance of just going the distance where he just cruises and hope the opponent doesn’t press him further even when Chisora was ****ing his body he looked like he wanted to stop fighting in spots . If he does that with Joyce he’s going to get run over . Parker’s got the in ring experience over Joyce but Joyce has much better sparring in elite camps being a sparring partner over the years for many top guys over Parker .

This will only be a great fight if Parker doesn’t resort to his accepting moral defeat and retreat the entire time but we’ll see ?

Big Jugs is going sleepy bye-byes from a mighty Oilskin uppercut but if its close and goes to the cards, they'll give it to Parker and activate the rematch clause...cha ching !!!

I, too, wasn't high on Juggernaut for a while, but I'm on the train now. Never a more apt nickname. For as good as Parker looked against Chisora in his last fight you gotta take the opponent into consideration. It should be a good match though, with Parker evading the plodding Joyce for the first several rounds (maybe even first half) sticking and moving, but my feeling is Juggernaut is gonna beat Parker down and stop him.

to be fair to him(contradicting myself I know) Parker looked really good against Chisora in the rematch and it seemed obvious that he had a bit more confidence in himself.

if that Parker turns up then we’re in for a fight. Joyce may have a great chin but how many can he actually take is another question

[champion4ever]

I believe that Joseph Parker may be bit out of his depth here. Joe Joyce may be arguably the strongest man in boxing with a chin carved out of cement and has a tremendous stamina and work rate. He never stops throwing punches. I can just see Joyce wearing Parker down from mere attrition. Parker is not accustomed to fighting at such a high pace.

Parker seems to have the bit between the teeth since working with f ury. I fear for joyce, although want the artist to win

Parker will fade if he fights the pace he did with Chisora , Joyce is a tower at 260 plus pounds and a better engine by far . How does Parker not do that if Joyce pressures him every round ? I don’t think Joyce will be so easy to hit to the extent he puts himself in that type of danger . Parker’s accuracy is not near what it is when fighting big guys ,he’s an arm puncher mostly I just can’t see him arm punching Joyce the entire fight to win he has to hurt him which isn’t impossible but I just don’t see Parker doing it to the extent controls Joyce most of the rounds .

If Joyce wins a few rounds in the first half I think he’s got it because I believe he will win every round after round 7 barring suffering a stoppage which is slim for both guys ,I think a knockout loss is the least likely outcome despite what should be a fairly high punch out out type of fight . Parker looked really good from a video I saw with Andy Lee but Lee can’t put his own skills in for Parker and I saw a guy really struggling to do the coordination drills Lee was showing like simple Angie placement after a certain shot , I dont have that confidence Parker gets it right in time by Saturday and that’s from his limited training he’s done all his life now he steps it up ,I think it’s to late but we’ll see .

No way will Joyce stop Parker. This is a super tough fight for Joyce. Parker could outbox Joyce too. He's fast for a HW
