Comments Thread For: Parker's Coach: If Joshua Goes Down, He Won't Recover This Time

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Last April, Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) went through fire when he was dropped hard by Wladimir Klitschko in the sixth round of their heavyweight title showdown. Joshua was able to recover over the next few rounds, and eventually stopped Klitschko in the eleventh round to unify the WBA, IBO, IBF heavyweight world titles.

[pollywog]

Not if the giant glass jawed robot goes down, but when!

Cos his superior black golden egg laying ass is gonna get sat down and stayed down!!!

[vaynardevil]

AJ will whoop parker's ass 1st

[sweeterscience]

I would prefer to see Parker win, but I wouldn't bet a nickel on it

Joseph Parker seems like a class act, is a terrific small-ish heavy who squeezes every bit out of his limited physical gifts and would be an excellent ambassador for the sport, so I'll root for him, but, realistically, I can't imagine anybody outside his inner circle rationally thinking he can win this one. And it's not hard to break down.

Parker doesn't have exolosive power or long arms.

Joshua is too popular, too much of a cash cow in The UK for Parker to get even a well-earned decision.

And Parker's chin is solid, but it's never been checked by such as hard a hitter as Joshua.

This reminds me a bit of when people were dead sure David Tua was going to KO Lennox Lewis. Look how that turned out? And Tua had an all-time great chin and a massive punch.

Aww geez lol

Lennox Lewis knew how to fight from anywhere in a boxing ring and had great ring iq. This cannot be said for Joshua I don't know why this comparison is made as well considering that Tua is like 5'8 compared to Lewis at 6'5.

Hugely different to this fight where parker is 6'4 and joshua is 6'6.

Just let that sink in. Yes Aj has more power but parker isent that much smaller than him. Plus unlike Aj parker can move and has better stamina.

We are in for a better match up than Tua vs Lewis.

Is Aj the favourite? Absolutely as a parker fan saying otherwise wise would be bias but at the same time being an under dog is much better for parker as well all the pressure will be on AJ to not lose to the man he proclaimed as the pie man lol.

How embarrassing would it be for AJ to lose to him?

Very

the same situation applies to parker,he's more than likely to hit the canvas first and when he does I have a hard time believing he'll get off the hook except the time of the round runs out he doesn't have the defense or movement to keep Joshua away from him like Klitschko did in the 5th round back in wembley

[hugh grant]

Parker has to nail opponents countless times to convince them to go down.
What excuse has parker made for allowing fury to go 12?

[Morrie ATG]

Can someone explain... if Parker wins Joshua has the rematch clause correct? So we still won’t see any Wilder fight soon, even if Deontay beats Ortiz?

Man, I have a strong feeling Parker and Joshua go 12. If it’s close, Hearn will push for the rematch anyways. I just know it
