Parker v ??

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

African Monkey

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?

Will be fireworks early...hopefully!

Parker there to make a statement, well so they say. Let’s see what happens once the bell rings

@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 ?

Parker getting torched. No defense at all in this fight. Whyte well ahead at this point.

African Monkey

Wow looks like the ridiculous KD in round 2 has really affected Parker mentally.

SammyC

Unless Parker flukes a knockout in the last couple of rounds, he is done and will never get another big fight again

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

Dice

For a fighter with t-rex arms, fighting on the back foot is not the way.

African Monkey

@sammyc Yeah long way back for him after this. He'll either have to spend a year or 2 fighting low level journeymen or become a gatekeeper similar to Chisora/Takam.

Whyte going roughouse seemed to affect Parker.

African Monkey

@hydro11 Agreed, I thought he was better than this. Still not massive on Whyte personally but Parker has been extremely disappointing.

hydro11

If Parker is to continue, he needs to get a completely new approach. When he is in a fight and he is down on points, I just don't see the hunger to do whatever it takes to win. Maybe he just doesn't have anything to give I don't know. He needs to realise THIS IS HIS CAREER.

taniwharugby

after all the smack talk, was expecting he might, well you know, back it up.

Glad I got off the wagon a couple of stops back.

hydro11

Parker needed to do what he did in the 12th, in the 10th and he probably would have won.

African Monkey

Why Parker left it so late against this fat slob I'll never know.

Parker might have done enough to win anywhere else but not in the UK. He only has himself to blame.

I watched a shitty stream on an iPad in a hotel room in Thailand,

Always lacked confidence in joe when the going gets tough , he has got through up to this fight, but he does give you the impression he would rather be somewhere else once he gets tired .
