Comments Thread For: Wilder: I'm Pulling for Parker, But He Needs KO to Beat Joshua

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It would hurt his bottom line, but Deontay Wilder wants Joseph Parker to beat Anthony Joshua. Wilder figures that if Parker upsets Joshua in their heavyweight title unification fight Saturday night, the unbeaten WBC champion will have a better chance to secure his shot at owning each of boxing's recognized championships. Wilder would love to fight Joshua for heavyweight supremacy, but he doesn't think Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) will accept that fight in the foreseeable future if Joshua gets past Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) in Cardiff, Wales (Sky Sports Box Office; Showtime).

He's not wrong. The Takam "KO" showed that Parker can't afford to make it even look like he's getting hit with a combo.

Yeah it was a quick stoppage to be fair. Takam could have carried on. I’m looking forward to my night of boxing tonight. I wonder if David Price will make it through the first round?

you sound almost like takam KO'ing joshua in the final two rounds was a given...

He literally one maybe a round in the whole fight, yes the stoppage was early, but that W was going to noone but AJ

[Dean_Razorback]

i don't think so. i mean, if parker beats joshua they'll have a rematch. so if he wants to get paid and get the joshua fight he should pull for AJ

[yammy25]

he wants parker because there's no way he (wilder) decisions AJ based on technique.

He knows AJ is smart enough to avoid the sledgehammer he calls his right hand.. and he knows he absolutely has zero chance of outboxing him.

Parker has a defence leakier than the UK's border control.

Probably wants aj to die in the ring the low life hill billy hood scum

I think Takam was putting up a little more resistance but unfortunately we'll never know what would have happened had the fight not been stopped so Joshua was clearly winning up until that point so it is what it is.

why the f#ck are you pulling for parker?>

you should be pulling for joshua to whoop his ass spectacularly -no broken hands or cuts - and call your ass out in the center of the ring after the fight.

pulling for parker

sheesh.

[AdonisCreed]

I can't wait to see how this fight plays out with Joshua and Parker I hope it ends up being a good one.
