RE: Joseph Parker - Kiwi - 12-25-2023

March 9th could be the next big one for JP. Another Parker + AJ co-feature.

Fighting Zhang, Ruiz - even Ngannou?

All these are good options


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-25-2023

March 9th only gives him 10 weeks to get ready, but if he wants to fight often, and the date is there for the taking...would like to see some of the winners on the March 9th card, Sanchez, Kagabel, JP, AJ, Jai O., etc. If the money is there, they will come. And yeah, add a few like Zhang and Ngannou.


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-25-2023

Wilder lost because he got too rich, his happy drug, and JP. No reason to fight.

RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-26-2023

Bart, one of the articles on eastside mentioned that the IBF, and maybe others, may strip Usyk if he fails to fight his mandatory. That's what you had said. Doesn't seem right, as Usyk has faced top fighters in AJ, DDD, and now Fury. Leave the man alone. He's got a war on his hands and still fights the best.
And Hrgovic fought de Mori. De Mori gave one of the worst heavyweight fights I've seen in recent memory at that level. Maybe he can fight Fa next?

RE: Joseph Parker - bart - 12-26-2023

Die I think its because all the other belts mandatories have been and IBF missing out on sanctioning $$ so if they strip it means they can start making dosh again
Expect at least another belts to do it


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-26-2023

Not sure I understand. The IBF can't just say, "we aren't getting enough sanctioning money, so I'm stripping you (Usyk) of the title. Surely they must say that Usyk has to fight Hrgovic by a certain time or else relinquish the belt. Everything is gonna get scrambled after the mega fight card. I once a mandatory always a mandatory until it gets settled? I can see JP moving up to IBF#1 after his win.  Question: were DDD or the AJ rematch a mandatory for Usyk?

Joseph Parker delivers in a career-best performance over Deontay Wilder

Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker has upset the boxing world by coming out victorious from his 'Day Of Reckoning' bout against Deontay Wilder Video / Matchroom Boxing ...

Christmas and Boxing Day came early for Joseph Parker. His unanimous decision victory over Deontay Wilder in Riyadh was something few saw coming, but to be fair it’s because few would have even predicted it happening only a few months ago.

They called this event The Day of Reckoning, a perfect name for what Parker stepped up and did. This was a win of resilience and will, showing everyone just how much he wants to be a big player in the heavyweight division.

It would have been the crime of the century if Parker hadn’t been given a unanimous win after 12 dominant rounds, so it was no surprise that the cards read 118-111, 118-110 and 120-108 after the final bell. The win gained Parker the WBC International and WBO Intercontinental belts and about $10 million, but the real prize is what comes next.

This is arguably the biggest win of Parker’s career, along with his world title win in 2016. It’s instantaneously catapulted him back into the heavyweight main event picture and probably lined up another multi-million-dollar payday in 2024.

Just to put it in perspective, have a look at where Parker was this time last year: in limbo after a one-sided defeat to Briton Joe Joyce, with serious questions as to whether he’d even continue fighting. Even only as recently as May, he was fighting in Melbourne against a bloke who doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

Parker had pretty much proven himself in the eyes of fight fans, anyway. A former world champion, who fought on the biggest stage in 2018 against boxing’s biggest star, all before he was even 30. Parker has spent the time since in a frustrating pattern of attempting to get back into the orbit of the title that he once held, but it never once looked likely until this fight with Wilder came out of the blue.

The biggest leveller was going to be Wilder’s ring rust. The 38-year-old from Alabama came in having only fought once in the past two years and it showed, looking thoroughly disinterested through the first four rounds as Parker methodically carried out trainer Andy Lee’s fight plan.

When Wilder tried to lift the pace, Parker shifted gears too and wasn’t afraid to get in close with the renowned knockout merchant, knowing that from then on it was his fight to lose. The explosion from Wilder never came, because Parker never let him unleash by expertly clinching and denying any advantage his much taller opponent had.

The telling blow came late once it became clear that Wilder needed to throw everything at the fight to have any hope of a stoppage. Parker struck back with a beautiful overhand right, snapping Wilder’s head sideways. It’s hard to know what was more painful, the punch or the look of resignation on Wilder’s face as he realised this was a truly lost cause.

Just what promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn were thinking right then would be fascinating. Headlines were already being typed up about a presumed March match-up between Wilder and Anthony Joshua, with the British former world champions making short work of Swede Otto Wallin in the other main event.

That’s all up in the air now, but does Parker essentially take Wilder’s spot? It’s certainly not out of the question, although this is boxing so it really just comes down to how much money it can make as opposed to another match-up.

But this will see Parker’s value skyrocket, given the nature of the win. Most expected him to end up on his back thanks to Wilder’s punching power, but now he’s very much regained the reputation of ring tactician that can be a good style clash for anyone.

The promo clip for Day Of Reckoning featured Parker and the other fighters as zombies on the loose seemed bizarre, but right now it’s feeling very apt.

Joseph Parker’s career is back from the dead, thanks to a bit of luck and absolute ton of hard work.


RE: Joseph Parker - bart - 12-26-2023

Exactly what u said Die the IBF reckon their mandatory hasn't been given a shot within a given time and due to the fact of the rematch clauses won't. So after the 1st fight the belt will be stripped and most likely No1 Hygovic will fight new No2 AJ


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 12-26-2023

I can understand that. Hrgovic has been waiting awhile. Wouldn't mind JP lead frogging AJ to the #2 slot as he fought the tougher opponent. Would love for AJ/Zhang and JP/Hrgovic to be on the March 9th? card with some of the other mega-fight winners. Maybe FA/de Mori on the curtain opener?
