Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Wants Knockout Win, Parker Got Under His Skin

[oscar9992]

After seeing how Whyte and Wlad were both able to rock Joshua, there's no reason why Parker can't do the same. I also predict a Joshua win, but it's not like it's a foregone conclusion like he's fighting Eric Molina or something.

Parker has no power to rock Joshua at all... Razvan Cojanu already confirmed it...

Parkers tryna fire him up, he wants aj to be comin at him tryna knock him out... I see Parker trying to sit back and counter him until Joshua gasses, not sayin it's gonna work... probably not a bad tactic but

Sitting back and letting AJ tee off on you is definitely a bad tactic. You will lose every round and get cut/hurt unless you're really defensively sound

He has more Power then Whyte and he rocked him. Price, Dubois, Okolie all dropped him with big gloves. Parker has enough power to finish the job.

Trying to counter him generally means dodging and hitting... aj has a lot o power but isn't that quick, Parker is a lot more mobile, so he should be able to avoid a lot of it....if it's such a bad tactic would you do in parkers shoes? Go toe to toe?

I think this is the plan. Get Joshua to blow his load, leave himself open and try and counter him. Big Josh will get tired by the 5th / 6th if he's throwing big bombs and if Parker is still in there he will try and press him and get him out of there.

We'll see how good his chin is for sure in this fight I think.

Exactly... at the same time aj could land one of those bombs and lights out... but I think Parker would be smart to use his speed for the first cpl rounds and slow him down a bit...
I'm looking forward to seeing how Parker does react if he gets hit flush

This fight can’t come soon enough. Can’t wait to see what all you Parker fans have to say when he gets smashed

Nah, Parker couldn't rock his last 4 or 5 opponents... He is average.

Hard to rock someone
if they are running and not wanting to engage like Fury, awful style for Parker too. Ruiz has a great chin, never been down. Cojanu is 6ft 8" and fought very cynical with defence up all night, smaller guy will always struggle to knock someone out who doesn't create any openings, he sparred 50+ rounds with Parker too he knew what he could do. He rocked Takam in the 8th and should have K.O him, inexperience cost him that finish. Dimitrenko he put down 4 or 5 times. He can knock Joshua, like I said he has enough power.

Same old garbage from Eddie trying to sell a poor to mediocre fight.If Parker hasn't improved 100% from the Hughie Fury contest then this is a walkover for AJ.
