Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Tears Through Daniel Martz, Eyes Title Run

[JakeNDaBox]

Joseph Parker continued his impressive run as a rising heavyweight to watch, needing less than two minutes of ring action to dispose of Daniel Martz in their regional title fight Saturday evening in Hamilton, New Zealand.

The bout was supposed to represent a step up for Parker, a promising heavyweight prospect who continues to tear through his competition at an alarming rate. In Martz came the tallest opponent that the Las-Vegas based New Zealander has faced to date, though not at all testing his skill level. [Click Here To Read More]

Boring. Just get on with it and fight Joshua already.

At this rate he will have a better win rate than Wilder. Doesn't mean anything. Obviously his team knew that this was a joke match-up as they already have him in again next month.

He needs rounds - he is not learning anything here. Stick him in with some of Wilder's fores from 2-3 years ago. All this is saying is that he is not even ready for the 2nd and 3rd tier heavyweights yet.

It is very important to groom a young fighter the right way especially a heavyweight where 1 punch can end it. Their comes a time when you have to gradually step up the talent of the opposition and fight different style fighters preferably big men as it is a giant division but Parker will fall into cooney territory if quality doesn't change as of now

From the Parker fights I've watched, I'm looking forward to when he steps up. They seem to be bringing him along the right way and the dude certainly throws down. Whatever happens when he does, I get the impression he'll make for a few entertaining fights.

You can't rush young heavies. There is no need to fast track him. He is 23

you can't rush them but you can't let them stagnate either. clearly these guys he is facing at the moment don't offer him anything. let's see him in with some region champions and fringe world contenders in the first half of 2016. fujimoto and ugonoh are perfect candidates

Absolutely. But I don't he is getting stagnant at 23 years old.

Obviously if he carries on with this level until he is 28 or whatever then it'll be a problem. Some people are just way to impatient with prospects.
