Comments Thread For: Parker's Trainer: Anthony Joshua in For a Huge, Rude Awakening!

[Mike Dog]

Parker is definitely being underrated here, but... he doesn't have very good speed. He did have very good speed until he put on too much weight and his trainer has acknowledged this; the trouble is Joshua's trainer has also acknowledged the same with regards to Joshua and he too is apparently slimming down (recent video showed him at 240pounds) so i'm not too sure speed is going to be that much of a factor. If Joshua still comes in at around 250 whilst Parker has slimmed down it can definitely be a factor, but honestly i'd expect that Joshua will come in around the same weight he did against Breazeale.

Both fighters weights will be crucial with regards to how this fight goes as obviously if Parker comes in light and Joshua doesnt he should be able to move in and out of range to jab and frustrate Joshua, else Joshua has a 6inch reach advantage which is more than enough to take Parker's jab away from him.

You know what you are talking about, it seems rare around here.

Joshua may be limited, but Parker is at least one full level below Joshua.

Parker wont expose any top tier HW, he is just not that good.

yeah all good points , Joshua should win as his power is probably the deciding factor but just saying parkers not the complete no hoper some on here are suggesting , I seen him fight live twice and he was very fast then, he does need to come in lighter for sure.
