Thanks Msreef. I couldn't understand the pronunciation of the sparring partner. What is his name?
Also, Sanchez said that Parker is 6'2" or 6'3" and is 23-0. Better get his facts straight.

Thanks Msreef. I had Sanchez talking about the size and record of his sparring partner mixed up with what he said about Parker. Sounds like a good sparring partner.

Gassiev is a good cruiserweight will be good for emulating the speed but I hope they have someone with heavier hands also.

Decent KO record, oour Gassiev. He faces Lebedev in December. Sanchez must be worried about Parker's speed, but I agree, Infern0, better get someone in there with some power to spar with Ruiz.

Sham, when you had your Shamrock gym, did you not put heavyweights in with Afa? Not to take the heavy shots my friend, but to get hit from a real heavyweight without crying. But good point. Ruiz needs to avoid getting hit.

Joseph Parker likened to Evander Holyfield and tipped to win WBO title
Joseph Parker has been likened to former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield and narrowly favoured to win his WBO title fight against Andy Ruiz.
The judgement comes from respected American boxing writer Gerardo Granados as media interest and analysis grows ahead of the battle for the belt vacated by Tyson Fury.

True that Sham. Parker is FASTER than Holyfield.
