Comments Thread For: Zach Parker Hoping To Tempt The Likes Of Yarde, Bivol and Morrell From The Negotiating Table And Into The Ring

'Morrell should take it with both hands, especially if the alternative is inactivity. He can introduce himself to the UK audience, and then he can talk a bit of shxt about Andrade who avoided Parker.'

Thats BS. No-one 'ducked' Parker. Parker was purely a domestic level guy. His fight with Ryder was meant to introduce him and be the next step up but when it got too physical he claimed a broken hand & quit. He may genuinely have hurt his hand but he had chatted so much beforehand about being a beast that would be Britain's next world champion that, TBH, it wasn't a good look.

Andrade literally pulled out of an ordered interim title fight vs Parker. And he did so after having vacated his middleweight belt rather than fight Janibek, when he could have had an automatic mandatory shot at Canelo as WBO champ. Maybe could have had that instead of Ryder. But no. He ducked his way into zero leverage, and we saw why when he finally fought someone who actually had ever held a legit world title.

IDK why Andrade has made the decisions he has made, maybe bad decisions, but if you really think Andrade, or anyone, is scared of Zach Parker then you're being silly. If you're scared of Zach Parker you really shouldn't be doing professional boxing.
