Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker backs chin against Daniel 'Dynamite' Dubois

[pollywog]

Parker picked Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua to beat Doobie and is now backing himself.

Dunno what that means but at some stage he's gonna make the right call.

Parker was sick and gassed after 1 round but dug deep and gave us the best heavyweight fight in a while before getting splattered and going out on his shield.

If his chin were cracked he wouldn't have got up from Zhang twice and decisioned him.

Then again, you also don't take shots from a puncher like Zhang with no ill effects. Zhang could have cracked that chin. I'm rolling with Parker on this one, but I've been getting them wrong all 2025 so having said that, Dubois will probably knock him out in 5.

It’s Dubois by KO or Parker by decision for me. Don’t see it going any other way.

And Parker has been known for a good chin, but that Joe Joyce fight might have left it permanently cracked.

3 consecutive disciplined performances by Dubois. Because Joshua is so washed, hard to gauge how much of that domination was DDD and how much was a trash opponent. This should be a real test

Hardly disciplined. He was all over the show vs Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua.

This is tough to call. When 2 fighters are coming off a run of wins.
I'll go with ddd win. My only concern with ddd is overconfidence, but when is confidence ever a bad thing? Maybe complacency, but I can't imagine ddd being complacent too.

I'm undecided about betting on DDD inside three or Parker KO late. I, too, think Dubois is extremely confident as of now. But he still was a couple of punches away from getting knocked out by AJ before finding that Hail Mary. And I don't forget him being outboxed by Joe Joyce. Parker is certainly intelligent enough to drown Dubois in the deep waters, provided that he doesn't get caught first.

But, as I said, I have no certainty whatsoever in regard to this fight.

Its crazy Joe Joyce beat both of them. How things change

[Sparked_26]

I'm inclined to back the boxer with more boxing ability in this one and that's Parker.

This is a great fight in that both boxers are 100% confident and in form.

I'd be impressed if he gets parker out there early and I think the longer the fight goes on the more it favours parker.

Parker late stoppage or wide ud is my final prediction, Dubois very dangerous first 6 rounds or so though.
