KB is doing wonderful work as JO's coach, we can see quality improvements each time out. They are on the open stage and up to be judged by the critics especially when the gobsmack is over the top. But its realistic to say Parker is improving fast under the tutelage of Kevin Barry, there seems no doubt KB will get him to be the best he can possibly be. Some others like Joseph Blackbourn and Lance Bryant come to mind as deserving novice pros could do with a break. New Zealand isn't without talent needing development for the world stage.
