Comments Thread For: Parker Had Two Elbow Surgeries Amid Negotiations for Joshua Fight

Now what does that say about Keith OneTime Thurman? #

Excuse for when parker loses nothing else

Even if he was having some issues with it, they're not going to come out and say it until after the fight. Before the fight, it's always "We've never seen him looking like this! He's running down chickens and catching them barehanded, pushing Mazda Miatas up hills, and letting kids kick him in the nuts. He's unstoppable!" Then after the fight it's..."Well he had two surgeries and the reason he came in so light was..." I like to watch the odds on Vegas Insider. Usually gives me a pretty good tell since Vegas is good about greasing the wheels to get the scoop out of camps for the lines.

This isn’t an excuse. It’s an explanation. Why take this fight, the way things are? I could understand one busted arm, but two? Joshua by Some sort of KO. This drops as a su****ious A- to a solid C class defense.

Sure , sure ... cant let a small thing like surgeries get in the way of making millions.

An excuse already prepared.

If you’re a betting man, pick AJ by stoppage in round 9-12

Lol don't know why people say it's an excuse, it's not he's had these injuries since the Kali Mehan fight.

It's actually team Parker saying if Parker loses he lost simply because AJ beat him, what would be worse is if they came out with it after the fight.

AJ going to be in for a world of pain now, he also snubbed the NZ and Samoan media which is pretty **** since team Parker have accomadated the UK media when ever they came calling. Anthony fake ads humble joshua

It's being sold as the reason he beats Joshua now despite the last fights. And it will be sold as the reason he lost when he loses. Remember Haye with he's "pre injury" before Bellew. This kind of talk is always a bad sign.

Maybe it gave him super punch throwing strength like the kid off Rookie of the Year.

No, it will be "but we thought it was better but apparently not" after the fight. Its a classic pressure reliever, you have an inbuilt excuse, if you do anything decent it's to be commended because you went in "less than 100%".Then,when you make the comeback, you're seeing a new Chinese guy whos a healer and it seems to be working this time. AJ is experienced enough to see weakness, he'll sense it here.

Did you read the article? They are saying it's 100 percent, they knew last year was **** and it was because of the elbows even if it's not 100 percent on the night it will still be 100 percent better than last year which they won't deny.

They know if they don't get a knockout they lose, they also know AJ is game as well.

Plus when you watch his previous couple fights you can see that Parker does have issues. I was wondering why he barely jabbed or threw any straights in the hughie fight.

Supposedly he couldn't even straighten his left arm properly because of the pain.

If anything as I said before this is them saying to AJ we are here to fight
