RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-21-2023
Thought about putting $10 on each underdog at the TAB (Mrs D says $5) in the hopes that one or more of the fighters will score an upset. Only need one or two to make some money.

Joseph Parker vs Deontay Wilder: Kiwi heavyweight boxer’s trainer outlines his key advantage
By Clay Wilson
21 Dec, 2023 05:07 AM
That’s how head trainer Andy Lee sees Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker’s most significant fight in five years – a Christmas Eve clash with American knockout artist Deontay Wilder.
The fight between the two former world champions in Saudi Arabia brought a formidable challenge for Parker.
Formidable, but not insurmountable, according to the Irishman steering his career inside the ropes.
“Joseph just has to avoid one thing, and that’s the right hand of Deontay Wilder,” Lee told Newstalk ZB from Riyadh.
“Now, that’s easier said than done. 42 men have tried and 42 men have failed. But Joseph can outbox Wilder, I don’t think Wilder can outbox Joe.
“Joseph can also knock Wilder out. As well as being a big puncher, Wilder is quite vulnerable, as we saw when he fought Tyson Fury.”
Parker doesn’t possess the height, reach and size of Fury – who handed Wilder his only professional defeats via a pair of stoppage wins in 2020 and 2021.
But, along with a more than handy 33-3 pro record, the New Zealander has made good strides in almost three years working with Lee.
Progress that Lee – a former world champion himself – hoped would bring both he and Parker an early Christmas gift.
“The concentration levels have to be at his highest for this fight.
“Joe knows he cannot take any breaks, physically or mentally. He can’t have any lapses. He has to be focused, present and alert at all times.
'It gives me more fire': Parker seeking to expose Wilder’s vulnerabilities
“And, when the opportunity comes, which will come with Wilder because as an offensive fighter he’s quite reckless and will leave himself open, then Joseph has to take his opportunity and let his hands go.”
There was certainly no stone being left unturned to ensure that strategy was a successful one.
Parker was one of the first fighters on the stacked “Day of Reckoning” card to arrive in Riyadh.
He and his team had also flipped their daily schedule – going to bed at 4am and not waking until one, allowing him to train after midnight in preparation for a bout expected to take place around 1am local time.
Lee said given when this fight had arrived, and what was on the line with Wilder’s standing as one of the biggest names in the sport, the motivation for maximum commitment hadn’t been hard to muster.
“The stars are aligned. If there ever was a time to fight Deontay Wilder, now’s the time to get him.
“He’s only had one round [in two years] and before that was coming off two bad losses to Fury. Joe’s been active and Joe’s been winning.
“There’s huge upside to beating Wilder for Joseph.
“We’ve got to be in the sport to take on the biggest challenges, and if he wins this one he goes into a whole new level of stardom, prestige and just standing in the sport.”
Sunday’s card, which also featured New Zealand’s Junior Fa in a heavyweight clash against undefeated Cuban Frank Sanchez, was set to start from 5am New Zealand time.
Parker wasn’t expected to make his ring walk until after 11am.Parker v Wilder fact box

A nightcap perhaps?
RE: Joseph Parker - Kiwi - 12-21-2023
I thought I was getting a great deal on the PPV here in Malaysia
Then I found out NZ is even cheaper!
BtW - Parker is looking pretty sharp in his workout in Saudi.
I think if he can get thru the first 4 rounds OK, he may really start to thrive.
RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-21-2023
How much are you paying kiwi? NZ is $30. I think I'm going to wake up at 8AM as always and start with the first fight of the morning, the Fa fight. When the JP fight starts, I'll fast forward it and watch that one.
Kiwi, yeah, the longer the fight goes on, the more tired Wilder will get. Wilder has 12 rounds to get in his right hand, so I'm hoping JP gets Wilder in trouble in about the 4th or 5th round, and stops him.
RE: Joseph Parker - bart - 12-21-2023
I think i will start at 6am reckon I should get Fa fight
RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-22-2023
The actual fight probably won't start until 5:30AM or so. The press conference is today. Weigh-in tomorrow. Fight Sunday. Great weekend of boxing.
I can't see JP winning this. I can see Wallin winning. Also Fa. Sanchez is good, but at JP's level, and Fa arguably won that fight with JP.
