Safe fight for Joshua, Parker was here just to get the money. No threat.

Ref was the busiest guy in the fight. He was relentless.

It's a good thing that ref was there, because otherwise a fight might have broken out.

aj won comfertably with the jab but didnt look to good doing it. tbh parker stuggled against hughie im starting to think if tyson gets his head together he boxes them both to an easy points victory with out breaking sweat

I had it 8/4 or 7/5 in Joshua's favor. He looked lackluster and seemed frustrated periodically throughout the fight. I think alot of it had to do with Parker's plan and his jab. The plan seemed to be to fight off the back foot and dart in occasionally and rip some shots to the body. The jab was in Joshua's face and he was looking to throw counter overhand rights. The lateral movement, jab and ability to dictate distance for most of the fight kept Joshua from firing off combinations. Joshua is still raw and couldn't come up with something to completely counter Parker's tactics.

Parker's offense isn't anything scintillating as we saw here and against Ruiz, Fury and Cojanu(?). In those fights he was the "A" side and in this one he was not. I will say Parker is incredibly athletic and has some quick twitch reflexes.

Someone else posted before me that Hearn doesn't seem to want to put Joshua in with Wilder yet and that Hearn thinks that Whyte could potentially beat Wilder; agree that's his thinking. Regardless of the outcome of Whyte/Wilder, Hearn will make a heap of money with AJ fighting the winner. If that winner is Whyte it's even better because he controls both of them. Wilder should beat Whyte but Deontay can often be flawed and beatable, so you never know. AJ wouldn't have much to fear against Big Baby, as Miller doesn't seem to have much crack on his punches. His only chance to beat AJ would be to wear him down with volume punching and physical pressure (like literally putting his weight on him in clinches) but I don't see that happening.

Only time will tell what we get.

I don't think Parkers jab landed that many times. It looked good though

[SHO_RULEZ]

I've seen Joshua's last three fights? Not a very...active fighter...exercises a B-Hop like cautiousness. The Wlad fight, "what a war!! Fight of the year!!"

I didn't see that...where...it was a dull tactical fight, with 2 rounds of actual excitement.

Whyte put on a much more entertaining performance last week.

Shut up you know jack **** about boxing.....wilder was losing to ortiz and on the verge of being knocked out and saved by the ref the next round...as for parker he was an unbeaten champion who joshua handled quite easily and win by 8-4 .....wilder will get chinned by joshua and a defence wide open......i hope wilder signs the fight so we will find out.....take that ****** profile pic down you look like a right nugget

The only thing I understood that u said is my profile pic looks like some kind of nugget. At least that's me and not some sweaty man that's not me. If it were u up there "trying to do a pull up" you'd probably look like a hanging slab of meat on rocky. 100 bucks says u ain't seen ur Dic without the aide of a mirror since 1988

Watch these two clowns then go watch Bowe/Holyfield or Lewis/Briggs... the difference in skills is staggering

Wow is AJ a big stiff. My Showtime recording cut out after the 10th for some reason and it really did me a favor. Wilder sparks that bum out easy and Wilder is a **** bum of the highest order himself. Heavyweight division is ridiculously bad.
