Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Predicts He Will Knock Out Joseph Parker In "3 or 4" Rounds

Wilder doesn’t have a bad chin and parker his descent power but I think if he tags wilder, wilder chin will hold up. It did against Ortiz who hits harder than Parker. As long as wilder comes in around his usual 220lb his stamina should be alright to if the fig he goes later. It was a 220 lb wilder who dropped fury in rd 12 and the 230lb wilder who gased after 5 rds in the second and third fury fights. I think this fight matters on how much wilder weighs.

Wilder is going to take Parker's head clean off his shoulders.

I hope an ambulance is on stand-by.

Full disclosure: I bet on Deontay knocking Parker out within 2...

I'll be the first to congratulate you if that happens. I think Wilder's athleticism will prevent Parker from doing that, though. I believe that the Joyce fight has diminished Parker quite a bit. I may be wrong, in any case it's a very intriguing fight.

What about the two beat downs that Wilder suffered at the hands of Fury? We haven't seen him in anything but a one round walk-through with Helenius since.

Joyce is a slow, robotic plodder who doesn't move his head. Wilder is technically awful but he does have good reflexes and fluidity. He won't be nearly as easy to hit.

Not to mention the drastic difference in power. Anyone who ever thought Joyce hit as hard as Wilder was kidding themselves. Look how long it took Joyce to get rid of an out of shape and rusty Stiverne two years after Wilder obliterated him inside 1 round.

I've seen Wilder get caught with right hands in nearly every one of his fights. Parker has more than enough skill to catch him. Joyce was in his seventh pro fight when he fought Stiverne. Wilder was in his thirty-second for their first match.

Just like Pac used to be one handed. When pac had two hands he became real good. Wilder has been out of ring, surely he's learnt one more punch?

You're talking about a guy whose former trainer said he refused to learn anything new, because he believed all he needed to do to was land the big right one time. He tried the body attack vs Fury in their third fight, but quickly reverted to relying on his right cross.

I don't think Wilder is exceptional, but I do think that Parker is reaching the end of the road. We'll see...

Parker is 31, Wilder is 38.

I don't really worry about Wilder's punch resistance. It's not like Fury iced him on one shot. He landed overhand right after overhand right after overhand right and wore him down over time. The fact that Wilder got up twice before Fury finally put him down for good tells me he's probably still fine.

That long-term punishment is what can wear a man down and take a big toll.

That's a very good point.

Unfortunately, as much as I consider Wilder an incomplete fighter AND damaged goods, I still believe his one-punch power can knock Parker out in a second. To answer here in regard to your second issue - that of the 7-year difference in favor of Parker - I feel that the latter's war with Joyce, plus the subsequent fights, will probably balance the whole.

Throughout these posts, I am NOT implying that Wilder is a superior fighter to Parker, not at all. But there must be a reason why he managed to knock ALL of his opponents down or out. Then again, if he's suddenly finished, that will be revealed quite immediately in the fight, which I expect with great curiosity.

Parker is a pillow puncher with no gas tank and no heart.

And nobody cares how many fights Joyce had when he fought Stiverne. It was his own ****** choice to wait until he was almost 32 to turn pro.

And when Wilder fought Stiverne the first time Wilder broke some bones and tore some ligaments in his right hand in the first round but was still able to beat the best version of Stiverne (Ring Magazine had him #2 and he was the reigning WBC champion, not a fat old man coming off a KO loss and a layoff).
