Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker: Camp Has Been Great, Heading To UK on Friday

[sportbuddha]

6 weeks is still too much to sacrifice ur optimal home training camp conditions just to get acclimated - something your body could do easily in one week tops.

I think 2 weeks is perfect. If he's mentally most comfortable training in New Zealand, then there's no reason to come over during the PEAK of your training camp to UK.

Then he would have to sacrifice maybe up to a week of hard training. usually training camps are no more than 12 weeks, as you don't wanna burn your body out, and overtrain.

Around the 6 week point - that's when you're at the heart, and the peak of camp.

usually the last 2 weeks are just strategy with light sparring for that last week maybe, then the last week no sparring just strategy and staying ready.

Of course, whatever works for him, like I said 'if it were me' cos I've done the trip about five times in my life and I was only feeling 100% after 2 weeks, so I wouldn't want to risk it for such a big moment in life. But maybe he adjusts better, everyone is different.

I bet you are one of those fanboys that think AJ's unnaturally low body fat and high muscle mass is from good genetics.
Inherited from his obese fat a$$ parents!!!

He's a fanboy, those guys man, logic don't seem to work for them once they get all barred up for a fighter. Parker gonna cause that guy fits in my opinion.

This will be a good fight, and Parker will be a huge test for AJ.

Parker's biggest strength is his granite chin - he's rarely been troubled in his pro career. Mind you, he's never faced power like AJ's.

The Fury fight was a great example of styles not meshing - Parker can stand and trade, and is very willing to. Fury didn't want a bar of it and ran. AJ is a much more stationary target, and while he has good movement, it's not exactly elite.

A lot of this fight is going to come down to whether Parker can withstand the power - because he will be eating some shots - and whether AJ has a plan in place if he doesn't blow Parker out.

Good post bro, its refreshing to see a post that isn't biased when it comes to aj. Yeah he can win, but it ain't like he can't lose, what's the matter with people?

Being obese is down to food habits. Nigerians still have good genetics. Don't know what you're on about. You ain't gonna prove he's on steroids by simply posting drivel on internet from your basement though.
