<p>My boys ( 6 and almost 8 ) have been mistaken for twins on three separate occasions by the same person, I might start going to a different supermarket where the staff are a bit more onto it......</p> -

<p>Wouldn't be surprised. Imagine the pressure to play any sport and be brilliant at it.</p> -
<p>I smell a rat , and I dont think Duco can see it , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>the biggest paydays for Joshua are , Fury , Haye , Klitchko , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Joseph is the mandatory and has no profile in England , no profile equals little money , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Haye beats Joseph and takes the mandatory , that gets rid of that problem , Haye and Joshua have the same promoter , </p>
<p> </p>

<p>My thoughts too after seeing his comments on the news tonight. Too many concussions obviously!!</p> -
Exactly, Haye would be a tougher fight for Joe than Joshua IMO,<br><br>That would be a fight I would be avoiding unless it involved the title itself

<p>Gotta keep away from Hayes as nothing to gain there. Very high risk fight. Whyte would be a better option if looking to raise parkers uk profile</p>

<p>Fighting Hayes would earn Parker more money than Whyte/Joshua. Duco would probably chase that i believe.</p> -

<p>I don't know, at least when it comes to cricket we've had plenty of father/son combos - with the sons outshining their father. Hadlee, Cairns, Harris, Braces and Latham on their way.<br><br>
Rugby might be the case Paul Williams, Anton Oliver good careers but not their dads for sure.</p>

<p>Records smecords. I'd rather have Lance than Chris.</p> -
<p>OK, admittedly I don't watch a lot of boxing, but the Puerto Rican chap here looks a bit shit.</p>

<p>The only reason I post this here, is because the Ukrainian guy does something that 0:25 in this clip I've not seen before in my limited viewing of the sweet science.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its like a fucking sidestep</p>

<p>Great finish. He was gone after the first punch.</p>

<p>So Parker wins by TKO last night vs Haumono after dropping him with an uppercut. Some controversy as ref appeared to call the fight off early as Haumono wasnt that clear in whether he was up from the count or not. I'm fairly sure Joseph would have finished the fight fairly quickly after then anyway but yeah....</p>
'></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fight itself was fairly underwhelming. Defence again a bit lacking, especially in the 3rd round but I guess by then that Joseph had realised that Haumono wasnt really going to hurt him despite him coming forward at him pretty much all the time. In fact Joseph got hit a fair bit, too much again for my liking. Seem to get less and less confident in Josephs abilities and potential each time he fights.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Full fight on youtube for now (with some polish? commentary)</p>

A mate pointed out an interesting point ,<br><br>Nearly all the top ranked fighters in the world who are considered more advanced than Joseph , are taller than him with a longer reach,<br><br>yet they have ( whether by choice or coincidence)hand picked fighters smaller than him
