    Parker doesn't press the action, he will try to potshot and move...
    I guess you missed his last fight where he came to K Dubois - who got a sudden case of Duck fever - TFO so Parker smashed Bakole into irrelevance instead.

    Do you not understand that Parker fights to a gameplan that is different for every fighter and that the Oilskin fights you bring up were not 2025 Parker in his prime ?

    If Wardley presses like Bakole did, Parker's gonna walk him on to a shot there won't be any coming back from.

      I guess- I was ready to see Parker do something more than that.

        I expect Parker to win this fight but a Wardley win wouldn't shock me in any way.

        I believe Parker is still the same fighter he's always been, he will have a big speed advantage over Wardley but he's very hittable, can go down, can be stopped and I don't think he's technically as good as Justis Huni so Wardley should be able to land a bit easier.

        Additionally Wardleys previous fight he was preparing for a big stiff lump in Miller and then it got changed to a totally different fighter on relatively late notice so yeah..

        It's a good fight.

          Yes Parker stopped a 400lb fat man with jet lag who hadnt trained and hadn't slept in 2 days.

          I don't buy he's the next George Foreman.

            It wouldn't have mattered if Bakole were 300lb, had a full camp and was getting a decent 10 hours kip every night.

            He would still have tried to bully Parker and Parker would still have timed him on to a nighty night shot.

            The Mighty Oilskin was gonna knock someone out that night. Dubois was lucky he shat his pants or it would have been him.

              Wardley, who went life and death with domestic level Frazer Clark and was getting schooled by Justis who took the fight late is gonna lay Parker out...lol

              Does Wardley have freak power like Wilder and Zhang who Parker negated and beat going away ?

              Dream on sunshine! The Mighty Oilskin is gonna expose another Brit fraud and move on...

              Maybe they feed Fabio to YungMo after and see where he's at. Domestic level U.K or Euro level.

                Like what? Look at the legit TBRB top ten below. He's already fought Zhang, Joshua, Chisora and was supposed to fight Dubois. Hrgovic just fought and is being lined up for Itauma. The only better realistic fight was Kabayel. I would like to have seen it but the sanctioning bodies have hardly helped by creating all the 'interim' belts.

                  Agree with all of this.

                  Parker is favourite on paper but I have some serious doubts about him. Fabio Wardley is someone who I have doubted every step of the way, but power matters in the heavyweight division.

                  Wins over Justis Huni and David Adeleye are nothing to be sneered at. Adeleye just went 12 rounds with Hrgovic. I know that Parker was known for his speed, but he only ever had hand speed and actually has always had slow feet. Hence the likes of Joyce could catch him.

                  To me Parker is looking old and frail. The muscle he has put on hasn't disguised what he looks like when he takes a punch.

                  He should still beat Wardley but there's a distinct possibility that this is a career ending loss for him.

                    You're a clown.
                    Bakole didn't even have a single training session, he had no sleep... he didn't even have gloves.

                    You think that's a good victory.

                    Lol. Get a grip dude.

                      You're so clueless I'm inclined to think you're rėtarded.

                      Bakole took the fight and got knocked the fück out for his troubles. Yeah that shows how you can't disrespect the game and made for a great Parker victory..

                      If anyone thinks they can rise to the challenge, but they don't have the foundational discipline to train between fights, they're delusional just like the moron I'm replying to.

                      Bakole got Oilskinned and youre making excuses for the clown...lol

                      Relax the death grip bruv, cos it seems like you're choking the chicken too hard and too much!
