Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker vs. Alex Leapai on Andrade-Sulecki Card

[Mammoth]

Agree, good fights.

Whyte rematch would make the most sense. and be a big UK PPV fight.

But its very clear ***** Whyte is only interested in chasing and shouting about the big fights he has NO chance of getting. While also running from the big fights he can get easily get. (e.g. AJ and Parker).

Parker vs Usyk would be good

I like Leapai but he's never really belonged at this level, even when he was younger.

Oilskin Parker is the new guy to duck and may just settle for being gatekeeper to the higher echelons of the division, as Takam used to be.

Put Parker in with anyone and he'd test them, and then some!

As is, he would flatten Whyte, AJ, beat Ruiz, Wilder, Ortiz, Pulev, Usyk but most likely lose to Fury...IMHO

Leapai...SMH

a few years too late, leapai is shot

Damn I thought he was fighting Eric Molina

Molina withdrew, which left a scramble to find an opponent.

Considering the fight is on two weeks notice, I'm surprised they manage to find ANYONE with a bit of a name, even if it is Leapai.

Yeah I ended up reading about it shame not like Molina was much better than Leapai but at least he would've had more of a punchers chance Leapai vs Klitschko had to be one of the worst heavyweight fights I have ever seen aside from McCline vs Ruiz and Martin vs Glazkov

Can't disagree there man, Leapai/Klitch was absolutely dreadful.

I expect Parker to spark him out pretty quickly - which doesn't really mean much, considering he really needs rounds and activity. But oh well, a predictable fight is better than no fight.

Parker probably needs some confidence too. Seeing an opponent, no matter how shopworn, go nite-nite may do him well. In his top level fights JP seems hesitant. I like him and think he has the skills to be relevant but he needs a different approach when fighting the Marquee opponents.

Damn 5 years ago this fight would have been awesome, Leapai is tough so it's going a few rounds before the stoppage.

This is kind of pathetic.
