Comments Thread For: Parker's Coach Wants Him Lighter, More Mobile for Joshua

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A few days ago, trainer Rob McCracken discussed his plan to ensure that his star fighter, Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs), would be lighter for his next contest. Joshua was a career-high 254-pounds when he retained his IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight titles last October with a tenth round stoppage of Carlos Takam. In the later stages of the fight, Joshua appeared to slow down, he looked tired and was breathing hard.

I reckon joshua will come in lighter too,parker's team are gassing up their fighter so they could get their paycheck and leave him high and dry possibly or they've been taking too much samoan weed? to believe all this nonsense about stopping "glass chin" Joshua..his defence should be their main concern...he's too open to big shots..joshua stops him in 10..pretty sure about that

It doesn't matter what weight Parker comes in at, the result will still be the same. AJ by KO

Parker will not survive AJ onslaught... no need to have judges for this fight.

The only thing he needs to make sure of his he's got enough room to fall because that's what's going to happen to Parker...

"I think it's very important that Joe is very fast on his feet..."

Oh, you got that right

No way Parker gets KO'd!

Hasn't happened yet and there's no reason to believe a lighter AJ can do it if Oilskin's defense is up to scratch.

Having said that, Joe is open to an uppercut when he throws overhand rights, and uppercuts is AJ's moneyshot!

Parker gets chubbier and chubbier fight after fight, it's smart to think about getting rid of some of the extra fat. Hes gonna have to use his feet and hand speed to his advantage
