Comments Thread For: Patience Is Key as Joseph Parker Awaits Major Heavyweight Fight

[HeadShots]

Zhang knocks him out this time.

he can't take those shots again. He took perm damage in that first fight. Could be another 1 punch KO like Joyce 2

Parker has looked good in his last couple of fights, especially against Zhang.
So Joyce must have really tanked given how he handled Parker....or was it just a bad matchup for Parker? Parker typically is a good mover and smart boxer which one would expect to have given slow and plodding Joyce all kinds of trouble.

Zhang had him on the floor every time he fancied throwing a punch.

Parker has no punch resistance left, Joyce destroyed him.

Did you actually watch AJ vs Parker? Hard to see anyone who watch that want to see it again. I'd have Aj vs Dubois, then Fury (if Fury wins or loses) and then Zhang if we need another one.

Call me no one then!

While it is often said Styles Make Fights. It can also be said Refs do too.

AJ pretty much ran and looked to the ref for help in their first fight. He knew just going the distance would get him the decision.
I guarantee in a rematch 6yrs on from their first fight we'd not be watching the same thing again.

Saudi fights seem to have cleaned up the dubious home cooked reffing and paid off judges.

All Parker does is get hit till the other guy tires out. There is a reason he is never on the Saudi cards like AJ Zhang and Fury

Parker has to redeem himself in rematch against Joyce or White. He is now a better fighter than he was a few years ago.

Them fools don't have no belts and neither does Joshy. Parker doesnt have to redeem himself against anyone.

He needs to keep beating the guy in front of him and let that title shot come to him. Which is exactly what he's doing.

Joyce, Whyte and Joshua need to redeem themselves and prove they belong in the top tier again. None of them have done shït worth crowing about since their last loss.

I should have said "no one outside of a Parker fan". Obviously his fans want to see him get another chance. I think he does deserve it but I don't really want to see it. I'd much rather see Zhang Vs Joshua or Dubois Vs Joshua and especially Fury Vs Joshua.

Also IF Parker wins (anything can happen in boxing) then we don't get to see Fury Vs Joshua. Fury will use any excuse to avoid that fight.

Zhang kryptonite for Joyce. Joyce has massive head, amazing chin, minimal power and zero head/upper body movement.

Maybe he took too many cracks to the chin and zhang benefitted from that, but Zhang has scary power.

To one punch Joyce is totally insane
