Comments Thread For: Parker's Coach: Team Joshua is Worried, Needed Rematch Clause

[PunchyPotorff]

Now Parker is trying to go into full-tard mode. Rematch clauses are a biz decision. And a smart one at that. This clown KNOWS that... he's just blabbering away to sell more tickets. ANYTHING can happen in a fight, so why wouldn't BOTH fighters want a second crack at it? Geez. Parker should be very happy, and WILL be very happy after Joshua KOs him, since he gets a second big check a few months later. Think of your retirement there bubba!

LOL

If Takam can take the best AJ had and not go down, im sure joe will be fine.

It's the heavyweight division, so pretty much everyone can land a knock out punch.

Though it's gonna take more than a going for a one hit wonder punch to put Oilskin away.

You gonna have to break down his defence first.

AJ throwing combos gasses him early and plays right into joes hands.

AJ's single shot power is overrated. He may be strong early, but like his chin, his stamina is also suspect.

Partner's stamina and chin aren't!

Again, it's about the level and what it shows in a fighters makeup. Joshua, despite struggling through Klitschko, has made it through being knocked down and won late against a big puncher. Parker hadn't, so how do we know about he's chin and heart when it hasn't had to survive world class power yet? We know alot more about Takam and he's durability, having fought Povetkin, and also AJ. The proof is in retrospect. Its all ahead of Joe right now.

not getting dropped by boxing legends like Ruiz, Hughie Fury and Cojanu is his biggest achievement

Not getting dropped by anyone...EVER!!!

Parker has also NEVER ducked a fight.

Meanwhile, everyone is going right out of their way to avoid Ruiz and Baby Hughie and before them, Takam as well.

You wanna talk about crushing cans?

You NEED to be talking about windmill and the giant juicing, glass jawed robot.

Between the nobodies and old men they've fought, im surprised they don't quack everytime they open their mouths with the amount of ducking they've done.

Oh that's right...BLACK DON'T QUACK!

Joshua, despite struggling through Klitschko, has made it through being knocked down and won late against a big puncher.

A 42 yr old former big puncher, 2 yrs out of the ring and coming off an embarrassing loss.

Parker is none of those and nor will he gas late like klitschko or fail to put AJ away after he hurts him.

Team AJ know this is his biggest test as does Team Parker.

We all know the giant robot has a glass jaw and can be knocked over easily, we also know the big hearted Samoan warrior doesn't and can't.

AJ is working on going the distance by cutting weight and going for stamina and speed, which may sacrifice power, given he doesn't generate much from anywhere beyond his heavily muscled arms.

Parker already has stamina and speed and will be working on generating more power from even better foot work against a guy who will be standing in front of him waiting to be hit.

AJ can't and won't run around like Baby Hughie for 12 rounds, nor will he be able to stand and trade combos with Parker like Ruiz, without going down.

Joshua gave everything to get a dubious reffing decision against Takam, a guy who took a fight on 2 weeks notice and never looked like being dropped.

Oilskin is coming in hot and fully prepared and the only thing that can possibly save AJ from a humiliating defeat is more home cooked reffing.

I believe Parker is gonna take the ref out of the equation, crack the giant robots glass jaw A LOT and eventually put him to sleep in the championship rounds of 11 or 12.

Do better against the likes of Cojanu though. Now try telling yourself how good he is.
Wilder and AJ would wipe the floor with him and Ruiz.
You are either too deluded or just too donkey of a troll mate. 😂

IM not sure why so many people on here turn into sheep. You see wilder say something about ducking and twenty fans on here jump on the bandwagon, similarly to Parker with Joshua’s chin comments.

The facts are more likely :

Neither fighter has really ducked anyone to date and should be applauded for that. Not only that, both are still young so plenty of time for other fights still to happen.

Joshua may not have the best chin, however he has already proven his ability to fight through adversity. He was partially rocked my whyte but maintained his composure to win, against Klitschko he came off a thunderous right hand - which not many would’ve beat the count at all for ; and then against takam he had a unintentional Headbutt which affected his breathing. All those are great experiences, and as much as you can say he can be rocked; we don’t know het if he can be beaten - at least by current generation.

Parker on the other hand has done really well to date to have never been knocked down; but does that mean he won’t be? Only time will tell - I’ve nevrr seen him hit hard but then again isn’t that a good or bad thing , will Joshua’s power be more than expected or can he cope either way - nobody knows the answer yet.

That experience difference and questions which remain actually make this More intriguing for me. Had parker been knocked down already I think the fight wouldn’t have been able to be hyped so much. I think Parker is also under rated by many, as it stands I personally (like many) think Joshua is favourite but I’m looking forward to it.

Well I think the glass chin comments by Parker really got to Joshua it seems that Parker got to him which could throw him off the game plan. He was really rattled by Klitschko and survived only because Klitschko was past his best if that was Klitschko from 2 years ago he would of been stopped so he got Wlad at the right time. Parker been younger will not let Joshua off the hook and this must be a concern. Joshua was rattled by Whyte before stopping him and I believe Parker is a class above Whyte. Therefore I think the rematch clause was added due to a concern, Parker doesn't have a rematch clause so that speaks volumes for me about confidence. Has Parker got into Joshua's head possibly. Joshua reminds me of a modern day Bruno.

Good post. With that said Parker is a defensive liability and there is no way I can see him not getting hit by AJ. When I look at Parker I see the template... He is a fighter in the Joe Louis mold (not comparing the two!!!) vis a vis he is a pure puncher trying to make sure he gets as many chances as possible to get his shots off. But there are two problems he has that need addressing before he can fight at AJ's level:

1) His defense is horrible. He gets hit way tooo much.

2) His stamina is horrible. He gets winded way too early.

Punchers have to either be slow and steady and make sure they have a certain amount of times they onload...or they have to be able to create opportunities with workrate...Parker can do neither right now. He was lucky to get the nod against Ruiz who actually has better technical skills by far.

Regarding the rematch clause...There is a financial adviser that I know who advocates using long term life insurance contracts...The actual insurance value of the contracts is not important so inevitably some idiot will say "But but but I don't need the life insurance!" Eventually the advisor took to saying "fine, give it to me." Point being, IF you can get a rematch clause....you may not need it, BUT you take it! Why not!?

[billeau2]

Both Parker and Joshua have fought same level opponents apart from an aging Klitschko. If you take away Klitschko who has Joshua actually beaten - Martin, Breazeal and Whyte and let's face it in any other era they would of struggled to break in the top 50. They have a common opponent on Takam who praised both so I would say experience is on a Par.

Whyte is a much better fighter than he gets credit for. Whyte throws combinations very well, and from very tight angles. It has become the common understanding somehow that Whyte is a bad fighter and in fact, he has a lot of skills. Watch tapes of his fights

" He is a fighter in the Joe Louis mold "

This is exactly true . I actually posted it in a who resembles who thread a week or so ago . Ive been saying this since 2016 ,of course boxing fans cant get past the Louis name and cant grasp the concept of SIMILAR . lol

If you watch Parker he has the same style as Louis and similar parry system.

It also proves my point that Louis style wouldn't work well today bc the defensive flaws . Parker is the most easily hit top 10 HW .

One thing Louis would have today with a little refining is great accuracy , Parkers accuracy is poor .He averaged only 6 clear shots in the first 5 rnds in his last 3 fights . Overall he falls over his punches by smothering his own work bc he cannot gauge distance properly .

I did punch counts on him myself and mark my words hes in for a very bad night against Joshua .

Joshua should be a far more heavily favorite than what the bookies are leading everyone to believe .

Man here believes Ruiz is better than AJ. At least when Parker gets knocked out you'll have to change that cheap expired crack 😂
