Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Plans To Be Quicker, Aims To Crack Parker's Chin

[Redgloveman]

I don’t think you’ll be able to crack Parker’s chin, I see a robbery decision if you win, Hearn already got the judges paid off and Britian ref to once again run in and prematurely stop the fight!!!

I seriously doubt a robbery decision. AJ's size and reach advantages over Parker are pretty clear. Whilst I can see Parker connecting on Joshua in the odd exchange because he has very quick I think Joshua will try to box at range and only step in when he wants to. I don't think Parker's going to be able to get in and out quick enough to win enough rounds to deserve a decision. If he's going to win, I think he has to swing for the fences in an exchange and get the stoppage.

Parker's used to being able to dominate his opponents with superior athleticism and he's always been the aggressor. I don't know how well Parker will cope with having to fight off the back foot. His team have already acknowledged Joshua's strength advantage so I doubt they're going to try to box on the front foot all night because that will bring Joshua's physical advantages into play.

To be fair though, I agree that if it went the distance and Parker deserved to win (extremely unlikely imo) there will probably be some home cooking because Joshua is a money machine at the moment. Could see a Lewis v Holyfield level of robbery.

Be it early or late, Oilskin will lure AJ into a toe to toe slugfest and knock him over...

Look to the refs to save AJ's bacon if that's the case.

I hope this dude Parker can fight, cause we really need to know if this hype is for real or not, I never seen Parker fight, I’ve seen AJuice struggle and get stretched by Klitschko and seen him in a boring fight against Takum, when the ref ran in to save Ajuices knockout streak

I agree the ref saved AJ's knock out street there's no way Takamatsu was in trouble for ref to stop the fight. We have to have faith that the ref involved will be fair and not interfere with any outcome as ref saved Froch from Groves in their first fight, I think if he does their will be a big outcry as this fight will be watched m
By millions around the world, so I think it will be legit.

Anyone who thinks a 6'6", 250lb Joshua can't hurt anyone if he catches them right is insane.

Yeah ok. So is the night of the fight your last night posting under this account? Just want to say appropriate goodbyes now to a troll.
