Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Forced To Go Ten, To Stop Alex Leapai

[////]

Friend, it's simple. Less guns = less gun deaths. That's proven, worldwide. And the gun nutz (maybe you're one, maybe not) refuse to even allow us to debate common sense gun laws reforms unless we know all the latest 'gun lingo'. THAT is pure b.s. that will eventually come back to haunt the gun enthusiasts. ALLOW debates, or suffer the consequences. No more of this 'well then only criminals will have guns', 'you wanna take all our guns' b.s. Neither holds any weight. The gun crowd doesn't need ARs/AKs whatever. I have ONE .22 semi-auto rifle and a basic 9MM. One for target practice, the other for my GF when I'm outta town. It's all I need. I don't need an arsenal. No one does. ALLOW debate on the subject, so we can get some common sense gun laws reforms... assault weapon ban, nationwide database, regularly scheduled tests to prove competence to operate the guns etc. We have to work together to reduce gun violence. It HAS to happen. And no more of this 'well I'm a safe gun owner so don't chastise me'. Because every day some gun 'expert' shoots themselves while cleaning their gun, shoots their friend while on the hunting trip, their kid shoots themselves or a friend because the parent didn't properly store the gun... the list is long. The examples are endless. Acknowledge there IS a problem, and let's work TOGETHER to fix it.

There is an inverse correlation between civilian firearm ownership and homicide rates worldwide (although obviously it isn't the sole variable). I am a social statistician by trade and education and you are completely incorrect.

People like you who watch 5 minutes of television and declare themselves an expert, prescribe radical solutions to non-existent problems, are extremely hazardous.

Either invest time in truly learning about a topic or find another way to feel important, but don't "half-ass" it.

PROVE any of my FACTS are incorrect with LEGIT urls. You didn't even have a full minute to read my comments before you posted a cut n paste from earlier. I call b.s.

Addressing the subject at hand... Parker looked abysmal at best last night. Barely any power, weak/slow footwork, pulls straight back, not busy enough, etc etc etc. Hate to say it, but THIS Parker gets beaten by Fury, Joshua, Ruiz, Ortiz, Wilder, Usyk and some others. Because he wouldn't even look THIS good vs any elites, not nearly as aggressive as need be. Maybe he needs a better trainer? Certainly hope he gets his issues fixed before he gets annihilated during a top shelf fight.

The reality is, I've studied the issue for many years. Meanwhile, you may or may not be a statistician (I'm leaning toward the NOT statistician reality of it). Same as the repubs saying 'I used to be a dem, but now I hate dems' b.s. line. In reality, they were ALWAYS a repub. You need to start assuming that a greater and greater percentage of people see thru b.s. as time goes on. In reality, you fool no one but yourself.

This was Parker best boxing showcase ,the problem was Alex wasn't throwing any punches . Still a good experience and it should make Parker sharper ,he almost had the fight stopped several times and he hurt Alex more then Johnson did when that fight was stopped so not sure what people are crying about ? Its a 12 round fight ,a fighters just not going to punch himself out against another puncher in a fight hes easily winning .

Parker threw great combos ,decent movement ,this was also a bragging rights fight between two samoans so Alex wasn't just going to quit. Most the people opn here have never taken a actual punch ,so WTF are you guys talking about that Parker couldn't hurt him ,you could see in moments Alex was thinking about not continuing but pushed on only bc Parker gave him rest periods in between. ? lol

I don't know. Either Alex Leapai has a good chin or Joseph Parker just can't punch. Parker hit this dude with some of the biggest and most monstrous punches I've seen and yet Leapei was still standing. Now contrast Alex's fight with Wladimir some five years ago; Klitschko knocked him out with ease.

[champion4ever]

Parker was sitting down on his punches, landing cleanly, and still failing to really hurt the guy. It was bizarre.

I agree. I have to admit. That was very strange to me. Parker hit this guy with everything but the kitchen sink and yet couldn't manage to ever get him off his feet.
