Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Building His Power For Tupou Clash

[aboutfkntime]

Dudes scary, he is like an athletic version of Tua, doesnt possess the same power as him but theres no saying he cant build it.

I think both him and Joshua at 18 pro contests each fought... Parker would probably stop Joshua

He will be a far better fighter than David Tua.

You heard it here

Disagree BG. This kid will be lucky to have a career anything close to even David Tua.

He is already more skilled than Tua, who really was a one-trick pony.

I think hes a great prospect far better opponents than joshuas fought , I have tickets to this fight in Invercargill on aug 1st so looking forward to seeing him live.

Where are you from bro ?

I cant make that fight.

Well, not in the middle of winter anyway

Invergiggle is a summer town, too cold for me

I love how he is going about increasing his power. Pull ups, pushups, and sit ups.

Old school calisthenics workouts are superior to weights in my opinion. At least when it comes to fighting.

Looks like a decent prospect. His defense is still very leaky though.

I'm glad Parker is finally starting to get some love from fans. As a Brit, I'm far more impressed by him than I am by the overhyped and overpromoted Joshua; he just seems like a much more fluid and natural fighter, with an overall better skillset and more variety to his game. I also love the way he's being brought along. A guy like that could easily fall in love with his power and neglect the other aspects of his game, but Parker and his team always seem to be working on something in the gym, with tangible results from fight to fight. I think he has the potential to be the next big man in the division, provided he keeps his head on his shoulders and keeps doing his own thing.

His combinations are devastating.

So far he hasn't encountered anyone who could exploit his defense because they were too concerned with surviving his offense.

Parker is very promising and very entertaining, but he really shouldn´t be putting much more muscle on. His best weapon is his speed - I´d say he´s the fastest top 20 HW - and he shouldn´t compromise that. He has plenty of pop behind his punches already.
