Comments Thread For: Team Parker To Usyk: We're The A-Side, 70-30 Split For Us!

Dang, I do not often find myself that far off from your predictions. I so think Usyk has every tool except power over Parker and wins fairly easy. I do not love Usyk over most of the HW division, and certainly not the top 3, but Parker??

Dang, A-F-T..... Your making a Usyk fan nervous.

I am a kiwi btw, but I don't ****ride anyone

when AJ/Parker was first announced, I said that AJ was further along than Parker in terms of development

Parker may be slightly better known than Usyk , but Usyk is more admired and respected, and he is in the WBO mandatory position, which means he will fight for the title against somebody else if Parker doesn't play ball.

I can't see Parker getting any more than 50/50, which may be what Higgins is angling for. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the split has already been agreed - they are both promoted by Hearn - and this A side stuff is just for publicity, or maybe to introduce a bit of needle into what would be a very gentlemanly build-up.

yea, that could be right

yea, that could be right

I can easily imagine Hearn and Higgins cooking this up together over a beer or 2.

i don't doubt that joseph parker wants the ustk fight and would be happy to take a fair percentage, but the greed of higgins and kevin barry could stop the fight happening if they ask for to much i think 50 50 split is fair

regarding Usyk... the Bellew fight still haunts me a little

that guy would lose to Parker

[Pigeons]

Hopefully this is the fight for the vacant WBO belt if Joshua vacates. Would be a good test for Usyk and would provide a basis of comparison to Joshua's outing with Parker.

Sorry folks , but unless Usyk is the second coming of Evander, he is not beating Parker. Not at this WEIGHT.

You can call Parker boring all you want but he is solid and has good fundamentals and is also light on his feet.

I see Usyk having success with the slow footed , pondering HW a la Joe Joyce or even AJ (in spots) but not someone with the style of Parker.

Oh and i do not give a damn about the A side / B side nonsense. I take it with a grain of salt.
If a belt is on the line they will make it happen.

Parker is not losing to Usyk..unless he gets robbed!!!

Parker sounds like the UK guys now. 70-30 is a no fight. WTF has Parker even done lately? Sounds like he doesnt want to fight Usyk.

How ****** are you? You can't spell "kangaroo" and don't know that Parker is from New Zealand, where are no kangaroos.

And Kangeroos are excellent boxers too.

This is funny to see. I goes they know AJ is dropping the belt will fight the winner.

Usyk is gonna win any way so just let this gate keeper in training cop a big pay day.
