Comments Thread For: Wilder Says Parker Fight on Dec. 23 Should Be Main Event: People Want To See Knockouts, Excitement

[Boxing 112]

I'm not sure how much say Hearn really had

Not much he wasn't even running the presser Dev and Queeensbury did.

They've all been offered an amount of money they could not refuse so they all have to turn up, must have been burning Eddie seeing Dev Sahni leading the press conference and asking the questions, it for sure was to AJ

Wilder is probably right. Parker is much more proven than Wallin and in current form (until Joshua gets rid of this scared / tentative style he has developed).

Joshua has a lot to do to prove he still has it. Not liking how he is looking with Derrick James (now temporarily with Ben Davison). The only positive is he realizes he destroyed his career with inactivity and greed - not sure if its too late to get that back now. Time will tell. He really should have stayed with Garcia IMHO.

With all due respect to messirs Wilder and Parker, this is a mismatch. Both athletes are world class gentlemen with significant experience and achievements. However, after Mr Parker has been stopped by one of the most boring and uninspiring muppet in the shape of Joe Juice, his aura has diminished... I have an utmost respect for Mr Parker and Mr Wilder, but I don't think their fight will be relevant. I do apologise for my opinion, please correct and educate me if I'm wrong or missing something.

Parker will leave early. This one is a gimme, Wilder just sold his soul to the devil. I wonder what kind of paper Eddy has on him?

You're missing the fact that Wilder hasn't beaten anyone of note in well over a good minute and the last decent bit of work he had, saw him getting pummeled to within an inch of his life.

I'd say Parker v Wilder is as good a heavyweight match-up as we can expect, all things considered.

Wilder is wild with confidence, I hope he (his brain) is in as good a shape as his confidence/arrogance is. Parker can be hot and/or cold for sure, but he's been dangerous at times and usually unloads a few bombs during his fights. This is a great fight, like the old days (80's), where you have two former champs who know how to win fights going at it. This is big time. I favor Wilder to find a way to win, but anything could happen in this fight. PPV worthy.

They should do a coin flip.

And we will never forget AJ removing the tape off of his gloves with his teeth, and then calling his own time out

Agreed but was really really bad performance running all the time so IMHO those ‘wins’ don’t count for much IMHO just like Fury ‘win’ against Wallin.
