Parker v ??

@raznomore said in Parker v ??:
Any one catch the fiasco that was the Parker presser yesterday. Fuck I felt sorry for Parker. Higgins is a muppet and no one should ever give Barry a microphone.
he really is a dickhead , I couldnt believe that press conference before the Fury fight when he turned up pissed, trying to make a name for himself, not sure if it was already shown here , fuck i felt embarrassed for Joe
-
@kiwiinmelb yeah when I saw this the day after it happened I was so embarrassed. How the fuck Higgins and Lonegan before him have managed to get this far in the fight game fucken A-Mazes me. Imagine how good Parkers prospect could be with articulate, clever promoters and a more effective corner team. Im going to start backing Fa to be honest. Parker is a good guy and I hope he proves to everyone that he deserves his belt but I just can not see it happening.
-
Oh well at least Higgins is getting their name out there in whatever silly way possible. It worked before the Hughie Fury fight whether people like it or not. If Higgins is more patient then they probably will get what they want eventually but instead he keeps dropping the price. I'd be shocked if AJ was next for Parker anyway and expect him to fight Lucas Browne instead.

I have tried to look at this from an angle that would sell fights and these isn't one.
What sells a fight is exuding confidence, arrogance, menace, flamboyance and/or all of the above.
Misleading so called evidence , cringe factor, amateur antics and immaturity just gets you forgotten about.

He’s not trying to sell a fight, he’s trying to make Joshua so angry he demands to fight Parker.
Judging by Joshua’s comments today, it seems to be working
-
Reading between the lines , this fight is going to happen ,
Hearn is saying its almost done ,
Win lose or draw , Joe will be earning a few million , so good on him for that , regardless of what happens I guess
-
Hope this fight sparks Parker into life. He has been getting slower and duller to watch. Reckon there seems to be a sweet spot pretty early on with Barry's training style. He seems to get fighters to a pretty decent condition, then sap that right out of them. Could it be he only gets them fit to better show their natural game!!? or is that being a bit rough? Hmmm
-
Still can't see this fight happening for a while tbh. I'm still expecting Lucas Browne to be next for Parker.

Parker would be silly to take on anyone other than a prize fight or an easy beat. A slip up now would result in losing everything and going back to the pack as an unwanted opponent.
-
@crucial I would consider Browne as an easy beat for Parker. He's slow with little movement and has a lack of skill to trouble Parker. The only thing Browne has going for him is power and heart.
If this fight were to happen I would back Parker either by late KO or a wide UD.
-
A fairly tame tweet from Parker has really got to Joshua, who is now starting to come across as precious.

@raznomore trying to talk smack doesnt seem natural to JP
-
@taniwharugby I think if he's left to come up with this shit himself it's better than what ever cringe worthy nonsense Higgins or Barry spew up.
