I sure hope so, Bart

Just a few vital tweaks may be all they have time for.....


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 03-10-2021

As markk was saying earlier, Parker needs a serious upgrade on his power. They won't have time for that this fight, but Lee can work on his throwing better combinations, because Parker will not be able to keep Chisora off him otherwise. Usyk struggled, and almost got KO'd early.

The high profile sportsman loses name suppression tomorrow....


RE: Joseph Parker - Infern0 - 03-11-2021

Probably the best thing about this move is that Parker will likely get sparring with Tyson.

Yeah interesting. Tv1 has asked me to comment tomorrow around 2 when it comes out. I’ll be noting it’s the worst kept secret in sports 


RE: Joseph Parker - bart - 03-11-2021

Will need some impressive PR work to win the support back


RE: Joseph Parker - Kiwi - 03-11-2021

If that's true, it's absolutely incredible to me

What can it be put down to? Naiivity? Ot something far darker?

I mean - it doesn't add up at all


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 03-11-2021

No names please. Don't wanta get sued. Not that I have any money!

Joseph Parker To Be Trained By Andy Lee: Can He Make Him Aggressive?
March 11, 2021

Joseph Parker has switched trainers from Kevin Barry to Andy Lee in hopes that he can bring his ultra-aggressive Kronk Gym approach to change his fighting style and improve his game.

Lee is one of the trainers that helped Tyson Fury defeat WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder last year in February.

Together with Kronk Gym-trained Sugarhill Steward, Lee trained Fury to go after Wilder fight and fight in a more offensive attack-oriented style.

It might be more difficult for Parker to pull off that style of fighting, though, because he’s got serious stamina issues, and he seems to have lost hands speed in the last several years. Never fast, to begin with, Parker seems to have lost the little speed that he had.

Parker, 29, will be fighting Dereck Chisora (32-10, 23 KOs) next, and he’s going to need to be more aggressive to win that fight because the British heavyweight will be attacking him nonstop.

Chisora is looking a lot better than Parker right now despite having lost his last fight against Oleksandr Usyk last October.

“We’ve heard good things about Andy [Lee],” said Parker’s manager David Higgins to Sky Sports. “He’ll [Lee] be young and hungry by trainer standards, but he’s got good credentials, and we’ve heard good things.

“I think it’s exciting to see how it plays out. Now it’s time for a new chapter,” said Higgins.

It’s hard to say what Andy Lee could have done to help Parker look any better than he did in his last fight against Junior Fa on February 27th.

Fa beat Parker to the punch the entire fight and tied him up effectively. Parker was lucky to get the win over Fa because he looked poor.

Parker should have switched trainers years ago rather than waiting until he was almost 30 and starting to lose hand speed before making a move. It’s debatable whether Lee can do anything with Parker.

If he makes Parker too aggressive, he’s going to walk into many shots and get chewed up by the likes of Chisora, Dillian Whyte, or Alexander Povetkin.

If nothing else, Lee needs to train Parker to go all out for knockouts earlier in his fights rather than waiting until the last 30 seconds of the 12hth round to start expending energy.

The way that Parker fights is like a fighter afraid to gas out, so he plods round for the first 11 rounds before going all out in the last minute of the fight.

The one thing that many boxing fans believe has held former WBO heavyweight champion Parker (26-2, 21 KOs) back as a professional is he’s been too soft, which held him back from beating Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte.

Replacing Barry with Andy Lee won’t change the way Parker has been matched, though. Barry had nothing to do with Parker throwing away the last three years of his career fighting lesser opposition since 2018.

If Parker’s management continues to put him in with sub-level fighters, as they’ve been doing since his loss to Whyte, it doesn’t matter who trains him.

Parker might as well train himself if all he’s being matched against are fighters like Shawndell Winters, Alex Leapai, and Alexander Flores. There’s no improvement in Parker’s game in his last four tune-up fights, and he wasted his time taking those fights.


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 03-12-2021

The above articles is one of the worst I've read about Parker. "He never had any hand speed. Was poor against Fa." A bit harsh I reckon.
