When Joseph Parker beats Dubois...

[M312]

It's not wishful thinking. It's proven fact.

If Parker's chin were cracked it would have continued to be after the brutal knockout he suffered from Joyce. That knockout took 11 rounds to happen.

His chin has held up with no problems since even after copping Zhang's best shots.

The first flash knockdown from Zhang early was legit. First thing Parker did was signal his corner to show he was ok. The 2nd knockdown was a push down on the back of the head and shouldn't have counted.

Neither did any damage and Zhang couldn't capitalize to finish the job. Instead Parker outboxed a fading and gassed Zhang to cruise to an easy points win.

No doubt Doobie has the power to K.O anyone, but Parker isnt gonna stand and trade to just let him. That's not his game. He'll outbox Dubois and win unless the ref and judges are crooked.

He can run, I'll agree with you there.

The rest of what you say is just your wet dreams and wishes.

He better have his running boots on.

DDD is favourite and should win. Parker has got 1 very good win of late and now everyone thinks hes a world beater? Parker has improved for sure, but DDD has got even better wins of late. Flip and Josh is better than just a zhang win.....ok then and whats left of Wilder

Parker can box and is better at it than Dubois.

Dubois is by far the more accomplished, headbutter, low blower and quitter.

I get that you can't argue a point and need to resort to insults but please, do try. You're just embarrassing yourself otherwise.

I wont be resonding to you again. Have a great day!

Parker is not Hrgy or Joshy. He's not going to fight like them. I expect Doobie to fight the same though. Headbutts and swinging for the rafters.
So please answer me this...

Do you think Doobie is going to knock Parker out and if so when; early in the fight, mid rounds, late ?

Imo , DDD needs to knock him out to win this fight
He certainly not going to outbox Parker
And if that happens it’ll be a late stoppage
That’s taking into consideration of DDD’s stamina problems , hoping he comes in shape to pursue his goal

Parker is really on form right now. But, he's taken a lot of damage vs Joyce and Zhang, not to mention a few more KD's vs Chisora and Whyte. Getting dropped by big men like that doesn't just go away, and Dubois can crack too. I would pick Parker by decision, but DDD is on form too, and has the power to change the fight.

Excellent reparte here! You both make great points. Parker is one of those that George Bernard Shaw described when he asked why youth was wasted on the young (Some people attribute this to Shakespear lol)... I mean here is a wizened Polynesian Pugilist who has learned from his rashness, his youth, but alas, his prime strength is yielding to father time.

Parker is admirable for what he has accomplished and I hope he is able to stick around a few more years. he is taking on some tough young lions, no doubt...

With Dubious? I actually think Parker has the style to beat the big men. Sort of like Chris Byrd used to do. His task is not really to have a great chin so much as not get caught on the chin.

Parker can run. But if he gets touched... Expect him to be splattered on the floor. You saw it v Joyce, you saw it v Zhang. He's no better than he ever was. If anything he's worse thanks to that chin of his.

No power. No chin. Great running shoes though.

Since he's been mentioned, I was just wondering what happened to Hrgovic after the Dubois loss. Haven't heard so much as a boo to a goose from him.

[HisExcellency]

I think Dubois has turned the page following his destruction of AJ but I certainly wouldn't rule out Parker either given the great little run he's been on as of late. Nobody really gave him a shot to beat Wilder or Zhang and he pulled off the upset BOTH times. Also, he was able to use his superior boxing skills and work rate to outpoint Zhang (despite going down twice) and the Dubois fight could play out in a similar manner.

Another GREAT matchup!

Amen to that. Definitely think he's got the right style to win a lot of big fights. I don't think he beats Usyk, and might struggle with Kabayel, but I'd favor him to get a decision win over most of the rest of the division that's willing to fight him. Nice Shaw reference. He's got a lot of great sayings, some of which are really on point these days, particularly about democracy.
