Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: Anthony Joshua Will Eat The Jab All Night!

[BoxingFan85]

Parker's jab isn't terrible but his short reach means he's not going to be able to match Joshua toe to toe. His best bet is to keep himself on the move and use his snap jab to offset Joshua as he comes forward. If he tries to stand and trade with Joshua things aren't going to end well for him.

Right on! Joshua has 4-5 inches reach over Parker so Parker has to eat a few jabs to land his own.. Also I have not seen Parker having a super jab which stops in the track or bothers an opponent too much.. His punches in bunches is good. But you are susceptible while landing the body shots.. I expect this to go 10rounds max and AJ KOs him

10 years ago this fight wouldve been on a weekday on ESPN as a support fight for Butterbean vs Hulk Hogan. Now Im supposed to call this a title fight? GTFOH

I'm sorry but Parker you're not on that level. Credit to you for beating takam, but AJ would beat takam in under 5 rounds

Definitely valid points regarding AJ's reach advantage over Parker. However, is AJ's jabs really any good? I've seen him bully-ball a bunch of people who have no chins and no jab to keep AJ away - a fight with Parker will be a completely different dynamic, because Parker can take a shot + come with his own.

As mentioned above, Parker can throw punches in bunches, something AJ has never seen before. AJ's a super talented kid, and deserves to go into a fight with Parker as the favorite - we've just never seen him fight anyone noteworthy and challenging.

Parker is dangerous but raw and upright with suspect stamina , exciting fight but AJ in five or less.

LOL great post!

Plus, from what I've seen of Parker, he is barely better than the likes of Brazil and Martin.

Breazeale said AJ's jab was very good but he said Aj's right hand was nothing special in terms of power. I think AJ has some power but most fighters he has KO'd he's had to hit them a lot of times. Breazeale was taking a lot of AJ's right hands on his gloves which probably reduced impact too.

I think Parker is first real test for AJ. So this a great fight. Problem with Parker is his chin is very exposed. He has a great chin but against AJ that could be a problem. I think AJ wins in 8 rounds but Parker poses him some problems on the way.

Great points - while Parker has a good chin, he's best served not testing it against AJ's probable power.

This is the fight I'm really looking forward to - the Fury/Klitch circus act can piss off. AJ/Parker is two genuine young bulls ready to go to war.

BRING IT

AJ had his mouth open in round 3 vs Breazealle...a guy that did nothing.

Suspect stamina....don't go there.
