Time for a genuine challenge.
Joseph Parker barely got out of second gear in his fourth-round TKO win over Jason Pettaway in Manukau last night.
The Kiwi heavyweight knew his power and hand speed were too much for the outclassed American well before he dropped him for the first time in round three.
Spurred on by a vocal crowd on his home patch in South Auckland, Parker went for the kill from the opening bell.
"I did go and headhunt and try to get him out of there, but it's a learning process for me," Parker said.
What transpired was a glorified sparring match, certainly not fitting for a $40 pay-per-view event.
As Parker chased the defensively spooked Pettaway around the ring, using footwork to cut down his space, frustration was evident.
