Parker v ??
-
@kiwiinmelb agree entirely. Joshua did catch Joe with a couple of glancing blows - but he didn't show crazy power or anything. Maybe he'd have gone harder if Joe had shown more aggression or rocked him earlier. Joshua is a talented dude, no doubt, but his ring craft isn't quite as exciting as he looks.

There is only one current boxer i look at and think , how do you beat this bloke ? with a gun perhaps , and that is triple g at middleweight.,
Joshua deserves his top ranking , I don’t see that same level as invincibility I see in golovkin though , not yet anyway .

This surprised me a bit , didnt see it coming , Parker v Whyte , July 28
-
A mate of mine is pretty close to JP and mentioned this as most likely option a couple of weeks back. As a result I was quite surprised to see One News mention Jennings as next opponent.
Both fighters with the one and only loss, and to Joshua. Whyte currently slight fav in early betting markets,
-
Apparently they were in negotiation with Jennings ,
Likewise Whyte with Ortiz ,
But both were having difficulties coming to final agreements , Hearn and Higgins got talking , and made this happen instead , they say it wasnt long term planning , but because they know each other well , they were able to get it happening quickly .

Hey Fern pugilist fellas.
Ain't there a fight tomorrow?
What's the low down?There’s a fight. It is on tonight. There could be a winner and a loser, maybe even both, maybe neither.
Whyte with a little trash talking, JP says he’s coming in as the angry man.
Could be duelling windmills.

Hoping Parker can sit this guy on his ass. Needs to throw some bombs to be a risky but compelling option for Joshua.

Whyte wants an open, loose fight. Could be fireworks

Parker should win comfortably but don't be suprised to see Whyte win by robbery as you usually see on Matchroom run shows.

Based on what?
-
@mn5 Based on Whyte being very over-rated, coming in overweight and the fact that Parker is better than him in every department. Whyte hasn't beaten anyone decent (won a robbery against a past it Chisora) and if he wasn't promoted by Eddie Hearn he'd be nowhere.

Righto.
.
Here's hoping then ? -
Wow looks like the ridiculous KD in round 2 has really affected Parker mentally.

If that's all it takes, Parker has no business being in these fights.
