This is a massive step up for DDD. Parker is durable, has good ability and can hit himself. Parker was too timid against AJ and Whyte, I prefer the more aggressive version. At this point I think he beats DDD on points.
Dubois is untested and I feel he is being thrown from nobodies to top fighter if they go for it straight away. Ideally, he would gradually up the level by fighting a couple of boxers in the top 10-20, before stepping to a top 10. Parker is skilled and agile and while I do not see him KO'ing Dubois, but he can outpoint him.
Ideally, Dubois vs Joyce or Arreola or Breazeale or Washington first, then a little better before fighting a top 10. And just how did he end up being number 3? by defeating Fujimoto?
