Comments Thread For: Confident Parker Full of Belief Ahead of Zhang Challenge

[4truth]

Zhang had some health issues that led to some of those gassing problems. Are those gonna show again? That's the big question for me.

He can't use the same strategy that he did against Wilder. That only worked IMO because Wilder was afraid to pull the trigger. He tries that with Zhang and he'll get clipped coming in with both the power of Big **** AND his own entry, and get sent to the shadow realms. Wilder also sucks at boxing. Zhang doesn't. Big **** by KO mid to late, unless he shows up half dead like he did to the Jerry Forrest fight.

That and Wilder weighed in at 213 pounds. Parker was able to use his offense as a defense, even a stiff jab against a smaller man can stifle an offense. Offense as a defense didn't work out against Joyce and I don't see Parker having much luck with it against Zhang either.

This stylistically the most difficult fight for Parker since? His fight vs Anthony Joshua

Parker has always fought apprehensively, and to survive 'More than to win, vs proven power punchers who can box'.

Note: Parker's win vs Wilder, proved that he could execute a game plan 'And stay disciplined in a fight, were he was competing against a fighter who can turn a fight around with a single punch vs many Heavyweights'.

Parker displayed a solid composure, in a high jeopardy fight.

Zhang is also that type of fight, because he has comparable power to Wilder 'But what makes this more challenging for Parker is? Zhang not only has proven elite level power, Zhang skill for skill is also a incredibly component boxer with proven durability'.

Winning rounds vs Zhang, is not going to be as straight forward for Parker 'Like it was in his fight vs Wilder'.

This fight is a incredibly difficult fight for Parker, and a mega challenge 'It is very difficult to inversion a way that Parker can win. Because in order for him to win, he has to fight in a manner in which he has never fought in before'.

The way Parker beat Wilder 'Anyone who has watched Parker's career, knew he was capable of such a performance. As Parker is a Heavyweight fighter with solid fundamental's, good speed, athleticism and top level durability'.

I just sense that Parker will need to show more vs Zhang 'It is not for certain that Zhang is going to be out boxed, or fatigue in the latter rounds'.

Mega fight and challenge 'It is a more dangerous fight than Wilder stylistically' etc.

Who's joking that's exactly my point is Ortiz and Fury have been put over so many times by the alleged "biggest puncher" in history yet he couldn't put Fury away and struggled to finish Ortiz who walked out with his Zimmer frame...

And like I said he didn't even really Hurt Stiverne in the first fight it took him being out of the ring two years and 30 pounds over his fighting weight to stop him...

And they've both been over by none punchers like Ruiz and in Furys case Cunningham and Pajkic who weren't even punchers at cruiserweight...

And no he hasn't been proven to be a bigger puncher than Zhang, he hasn't fought single person known for being able to take a punch, let alone stop anyone who's durable...

Like I said both Hrgovic and Joyce don't move out of the way of punches and had never been hurt by punches in the pros at least until Zhang unlike the absolutes puddings that litter Wilders resume...

You are delusional. He zapped Ortiz twice and should have been awarded the KO in round 12 of the first Fury fight. Ortiz was a Top 5 heavyweight going into the first fight and Fury kept getting up because he has enormous heart.

Parker is going to sleep in a few weeks. If he comes out like a wild man like he did against Wilder,it could be a very early night.

Parker didn't come out like a wildman vs Wilder. He came out focussed and determined with a legit gameplan and stuck to it.

He negated everything that Wilder could do and served up a masterclass in boxing.

be intrigued to see if parker takes centre ring like he did against wilder,and move forward, will be much more difficult to do this with zhang

I expect he'll want Zhang to follow him around the ring. Tire that big lump out.

[Marchegiano]

Why on earth would anyone use the Wilder fight as a metric? Wilder did not throw back.


I am willing to bet litterally everyone fights differently against an opponent who isn't punching back. ... ... ...

Like the master class we saw against Joe Joyce, the same Joyce Zhang smashed twice?

Triangle theories.

It does not take a masterclass of boxing to out point Deontay Wilder 'Anyone who stated that, is rating Wilder as a elite level fighter skill for skill in terms of pure boxing'. Wilder was once upon a time a elite level Heavyweight in certain area's of his game, such as his power and determination 'But his actual pure boxing skills are not elite level'.

It was Fury's innate clumsiness, which influence and made the Wilder vs Fury trilogy 'A mighty struggle for Fury, more than it really should of been'.

I am adamant that this fight vs Zhang 'Is stylistically Parker's toughest fight since Anthony Joshua'.

Parker has always fought apprehensively, and to survive 'More than to win vs proven Power punchers who can box'.

I sense that many people want Parker to win, but really? Notice the way, they have no real idea how Parker can win this fight 'They are just relying on Zhang apparently fatiguing or not being able to match Parker in a skill for skill boxing fight'.

Note: I believe both Zhang and Parker 'Will be able to take rounds off each other, with their boxing'. So the fighter who will win this fight 'Will be the fighter who can cause the most damage, has the best endurance and durability'.

This is the area, where I think on current form Zhang may just be ahead etc.
