Comments Thread For: The punter-come-opponent: Fabio Wardley's seven-year path to Joseph Parker

[pollywog]

**** happens in boxing. I don't expect Fabio will be fighting a clean fight.

We will see. It's a very interesting fight.

I think Parker is prepared to fight fire with water or dirt if he needs to.

Based off that, I think I'm gonna go with the Samoan ex champ who's been boxing since age 10 and has had a vintage run through a veritable murderers row in his last few fights.

I doubt Parker will get loose and clipped by a Wardley cannon, like Huni was, and if he comes with the same focus and conditioning as he had for the Dubois duckfest, Fabio won't make the count, like Bakole didn't.

It's essentially the mighty Oilskin's fight to lose, but given what's at stake and with the focus and discipline he's shown to get within sniffing distance of another title shot, I can't see him losing.

More like - based on where he was born, you'll go with Parker, because other than where he is born, you don't know **** about boxing.

considering how sick parker was in the joyce fight, i dont consider that a bad performance,it was the making of him actually, and hes been on the up ever since, go back to all the pre interviews before wilder fight,it was almost a foregone conclusion for some that parker was gonna get knocked out,wilder coming off the helenius win in 1 round,who knew that wilder was shot, but parkers perfect perforrmance made him look bad too

Parker should win but then again I've seen him look crap against opponents worse than Wardley, I'm talking about Jack Massey, Junior Fa, Alex Leapai, Razvan Cojanu

If parker can manage to make a meal out of opponents like that then it wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world to see him get involved with Wardley and eat something huge.

I'll pick Parker but it's not a pick I'm hugely certain of

He was so "sick" he threw 556 punches over 11 rounds vs Joyce

Once he recovered and we got the new "aggressive Parker" he threw:

255 punches vs Wilder

and

349 punches vs Zhang

By the way the younger "less aggressive Parker" threw 492 punches vs AJ


There's a lot of myths around Parker at the moment and they don't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny.

He's the same fighter hes always been

Your stats prove the opposite.

He's never the same fighter twice and adjusts his output to the opponent.

i dont care how many punches he threw, he was sick thats obvious by how tired he was after 1 2 rounds, the fact he threw so many punches and took 11 rounds for joyce to get him out of there showed the heart of parker

[NihonJim]

i dont care about facts
