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

[Squ□redCircle34]

I'm actually surprised that Team AJ made sure a rematch clause was one of the top priorities!

I'm hearing AJ is slimming down back to 240 something which will help his speed and stamina!

I expect Joshua to mash up Pie Man Parker like potatoes!

do tell what these concerns are

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.

Parkers camp seem nervous, lots of self affirmations. We really don't know what Parker has at this level, and neither do they.

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.

They should be nervous but so should Aj's camp.

One guy is gonna lose their title and probably be ducked by everyone afterwards for being too good!

We do know one thing about Parkers level. He can take the shots better than AJ!

OILSKIN PARKER...never been down...EVER!!!

[pollywog]

I still think haggling over percentages for the rematch clause was the biggest hurdle in negotiations.

AJ loses, becomes the B side and they still finalise his cut beforehand @ 55%???

Fast Eddie going for 2 contracts rolled into one...

Yeah, i'd say he's worried his giant juicing glass jawed golden egg laying robot is gonna get flattened for sure!

I'd wager that Klitschko is a big difference in the two, being that Joshua was in against someone of a similar level in size power and skill, and it was a war where Joshua had to dig deep. This is a big experience edge all on its own where Parker hasn't been to such depths. Even in the Whyte fight AJ was tested to a degree against an ambitious fighter in a big domestic grudge match. We've never seen that in Parker, who hadn't had to call on himself in that way. As for Takam, he pushed Parker quite close, whereas he was shut out by Joshua. Parker is the one stepping up to a level he's never been to before here.

Well the thing is do we really know how well Parker takes a shot? He's never been hit with anything remotely close to a Klitschko bomb.We know AJ can dig deep though he's far from invincible. We know very little about Parker in a real fight.

[W1LL]

Fat Eddie Hearn tries to sell it as some other bollocks. We all know it's a rematch clause incase your boy loses Eddie.

I'd put that down to fundamentally sound defensive skills!

The thing is, unlike AJ, oilskin has never even been dropped as an amateur, in sparring, in any bout as a pro and as an undefeated world champion!

It's not like people haven't tried...

AJ is gonna need to land a combo of heavy shots if he thinks he's the one to drop Parker.

And don't think for a second Joe is just gonna stand there and let him without firing back.

With the giant robots glass chin, lack of movement and come forward style, he's gonna walk into an oilskin combo that'll be too fast, too furious and get sat on his golden goose laying ass as many times as he can take before he doesn't get up again.

BOOK IT!!!
