Like going straight back when attacked, coming off the ropes with his chin held high, not good footwork. All things that would make Joe a much better fighter if he corrected them. My worry is that he's developed more novice mistakes. Like no left hook, lunging, no second phase attack, closing his eyes when he punches, staying in the pocket after he punches while keeping his face in range, etc. All correctable, and hopefully KB can correct all this while at his Auckland camp. The worry is that he's making these mistakes while being trained by KB.
I think Barry has trained these mistakes into him and you wouldn't want to be working on trying to reverse all of that in one camp.
My thoughts were that JP needed to leave KB after the Ruiz jr fight but they have persisted. He could get away with it vs Razman and the very negative, low output hughie fury but i think the mistakes are gonna catch up here.
Unfortunately, all true Infern0. He needs to change trainers, and get back to where he was. He looked great with Dimitrenko and Meehan.
Did he look great, or did the opponent just not expose his weaknesses?
It's not like he had another trainer for Meehan and Dimitrenko.

I do realise that the opponent has a lot to do with how well Joe looks. I thought AJ looked good against a quality opponent in Takam. Don't listen to the critics; Takam had a 10 week camp. Wilder looked great against a heavy bag.
Yeah joe can look devestating if he has an easy target with nothing coming back. Now that might spund like a criticism but it really isnt, he needs to learn how to make that attack mobile because he struggles to put shots together whilst moving, its a common failing amongst heavyweights, David Haye was one of few who could actually put powerful combinations together whilst moving backwards.
My point is joe isnt going to be able to plant his feet and throw hell to leather against someone as dangerous as AJ.
I actually wouldnt mind seeing parker get adam booth as a trainer, i think he'd be a good fit and booth would get him to use his legs more effectively and make him a much better fighter, notice haye has an interest in parker, i think he sees joe could do well using a prime haye style.
