having seen parker fight live you definatly see the speed and power he has I think hes the goods , only thing is as with every fighter how will he cope with a hard drawn out tough competitive fight ? , check out his speed and power jabs in this clip https://********/d9gVrZ_m46k and https://********/-Ql5ps5-y08
Nice! jab looking real nice! I just hope he works on his left hand more, the way he throws it is very slapping.
takam in for a world of pain, trouble is he's one tough SOB, so he is going to be BADLY hurt over a number of rounds

hell yeah !!! everyone is underestimating and overlooking parker .
Joshua didn't walk him down, both guys came out boxing and Joshua was able to touch Martin up and down and get back out of the way. The part you were correct about is Martin was out of his depth. But that was a perfect first round from AJ he used his technique, speed and boxing ability, he didn't rush Martin at all, all the shots were placed and dented Martin's confidence. This made Martin come out of his shell in the second and force it a bit more, and Joshua walked him on to two great counters as a result.
Its a bit disappointing that some people miss some subtle things. That was the best Joshua I have seen by a mile and to produce it on such a big occasion says something about him mentally, but like you I wish we had seen more. I am not 100% convinced by him yet, but he is getting better and this for me was a marked improvement, it was the first time I saw real pedigree from him. He isn't the best heavyweight we have ever seen, but he might become of the best of this group.
Very fair post IMHO. I'm far from convinced by him long term but he did what he had to do tonight pretty much perfectly. He deserves some respect for that.
