It doesn't. And he isn't. Boy! Higgins sure can wax lyrical.. about nothing.. other that his own fanciful thoughts and opinions.. unfortunately, he has no idea about boxing - quite obviously. That said. He has done his job and got the fight! He needs to zip his lip now and let Parker focus and prepare.. Parker's been far from impressive recently.. he is; punching short of the target, has no idea how to move around the ring and to use footwork and body movement to his advantage, punching slower and less fluidly than a few years back, easy to hit and has poor defense, very light on simply strategies to beat opponents other than KNOCK HIM OUT.. In short, Joe has not been improving but alas, appears to be going in the other direction.. Joe has a belt and this is the only reason the fight is going ahead. Not because he is the next best thing and the rightful challenger on merit.. THIS is Joe's first real world title fight. It is the first time he is fighting a current , universally recognised, world champ. The WBO strap has provided his ticket to this huge opportunity.. Can JP get it all together for the biggest fight of his life and be at the height of his game against AJ? Sharp, fast, punishing, powerful, relentless.. or, are these former qualities of his assigned to our memory banks? I see that bets on JP have been suspended by the TAB and AJ is currently priced at $1.10 !! So, It dosen't look like the Bookies are buying into Duco logic for a JP victory.. Nor am I. AJ wallops Joe.. and just maybe cracks that granite chin! V.

If AJ ends up with $1.10 to ??? odds, probably about $10, I'd put a lazy $20 on Joe. Assuming AJ DOES have a glass jaw, my question is: how is Parker gonna get to it?

Anthony Joshua vs Joseph Parker set for March 31 in Cardiff
Matchroom Boxing - January 14, 2018 65 Comments The Heavyweight unification fight the world has been waiting for between Anthony Joshua MBE and Joseph Parker will take place at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on March 31, live on Sky Sports Box Office. Joshua and Parker have agreed to put their IBF, WBA Super, IBO and WBO belts and unbeaten records on the line, ending a period of intense negotiation between the rival camps. The winner-takes all contest will put the winner within touching distance of becoming the first undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 1999. “It’s a unification Heavyweight Championship fight, everyone knows what happened the last time I was in one. These fights aren’t easy, there’s a lot on the line so respect to Parker for taking the fight. I’m looking forward to it, training camp is under way,” Joshua said. WBO champion Joseph Parker said he was relieved the contractual negotiations had now been concluded as he could now fully concentrate on the job in hand. “Anthony Joshua is in for a huge shock,” Parker said. “A couple of months ago I heard him say ‘why should I be worried about this little kid from New Zealand’? “Well, now he’s about to find out. And the world is about to find out whether AJ can really take a punch. My entire existence is now devoted to proving what the boxing world already knows.” Joshua returns to the scene of his last action in the ring, where Carlos Takam became his 20th win inside the distance from his 20 pro fights, the fourth defence of his IBF crown and first of the WBA Super and IBO belts he landed in his epic battle with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium last April. “I’m delighted to get this fight made – it’s been a long time coming,” said Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn. “Champions should fight Champions and AJ continues to step up to the challenges. “It’s the first time in history that two reigning heavyweight World champions have met in Britain and it’s a classic match-up between two young, fast, undefeated belt holders and it’s going to be an explosive fight. This is another huge unification fight for Anthony as he continues to make history in the quest to become undisputed World heavyweight champion.” Parker’s last fight was his first in England as he defended his WBO strap for the second time, outpointing Hughie Fury in Manchester in September, moving to 24-0 with the win. The 26-year-old became New Zealand’s first heavyweight world champion when he landed the WBO strap in December 2016 against the undefeated Mexican American star Andy Ruiz in Auckland. He comfortably defended the crown for the first time against giant Romanian Razvan Cojanu in May. Parker’s promoter David Higgins paid tribute to Hearn and Matchroom Boxing for the up-front way they had handled negotiations. “Eddie has been great to work with from day one,” Higgins said. “I know we ruffled a few feathers along the way but, as Eddie acknowledged, when you come from a small country and people perceive you as a small player, sometimes you’ve got to make a bit of noise. “New Zealand might be a tiny country on the other side of the world but it has a hugely proud sporting tradition – and a particularly strong tradition when it comes to whipping mother England. “Joseph Parker is the absolute epitome of the Kiwi sporting battler. It has been said that he is punching above his weight, but he didn’t become WBO heavyweight champion by being lucky. “He’s never been stopped, never even been wobbled in the ring. He’s consistently fought fighters in the world’s top ten and he’s beaten them all easily. It certainly won’t be a shock to me when he beats Anthony Joshua and takes his titles back home to New Zealand.” Principality Stadium Manager Mark Williams commented: “Joshua vs. Parker is another exciting feat for Principality Stadium which holds the record for the largest indoor boxing crowd after Joshua’s title defence in Cardiff last October. Afterwards it was a case of ‘when’ not ‘if’ boxing would return and we are thrilled to be working with Matchroom once again to raise the bar for live boxing entertainment on March 31st. “The stadium and Cardiff always come together to put on a fantastic show. Our status and ambition in securing major events is shared with all our city partners and we are grateful to Welsh Government, South Wales Police, Cardiff Council and others working together to attract and deliver the greatest live entertainment to our capital city. “Inside the stadium, boxing fans can expect yet another spectacular arena transformation, just days after the NatWest 6 Nations and ahead of Judgement Day VI and four nights of Ed Sheeran and more. 2018 is set to be yet another exciting chapter in the stadium’s illustrious history!” An announcement on on-sale dates, ticket prices and travel packages will be made soon. Sky Sports Box Office to show Joshua’s first fight of 2018 Sky Sports Box Office will televise the hotly anticipated Joshua v Parker unification fight that will see Anthony Joshua step into the ring for the first time in 2018 in defence of his world heavyweight titles. The WBA ‘super’ and IBF heavyweight champion Joshua, will be looking to add heavyweight champion Joseph Parker’s WBO belt to his collection, with both fighters battling to maintain their unbeaten run. The Sky Ambassador will return to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday 31 March for the unification fight, having won his last defence in the same venue in October against Carlos Takam, after a 10th-round stoppage. This will be Joshua’s second defence of the WBA belt he clinched by knocking out Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium, whilst Parker will be launching his third defence of the WBO belt. The fight has the makings of a stellar contest: both fighters boast unbeaten records, Joshua’s 20 victories all by knockout, and the New Zealander has 18 stoppages from his 24 wins. Barney Francis, Sky Sports Managing Director, commented: “Last year was the vindication of our belief in Anthony Joshua when we first started this journey together in 2013. We knew he could be the best heavyweight in the world, and last year the world saw that is the case. 2018 promises to get even better for Anthony, with a unification fight to kick things off. More excitement is guaranteed.” Sky Sports Head of Boxing, Adam Smith, said: “We are starting 2018 with a bang on Sky Sports Box Office – there is no doubt that this will be an unmissable fight, with two unbeaten fighters, multiple heavyweight belts on the line and a battle to maintain their winning streak. It is absolutely the right fight at the right time for Joshua, it is what the fans want but also what he needs to cement the ‘AJ era’. Parker is a tough opponent with all the tools to cause an upset, but can he put a stop to Anthony Joshua and dent his legacy?” Ahead of the bout, Sky Sports viewers will be able to enjoy a range of support programming across both TV channels and digital platforms, in addition to all the pre-fight build up from behind the scenes. This fight is part of what will be another stellar year of boxing on Sky Sports. 2017 saw Joshua crowned the unified heavyweight champion of the world after defeating Wladimir Klitschko and then defend the title against Carlos Takam, alongside the record-breaking Mayweather v McGregor showcase. This year Sky Sports Boxing will bring customers more drama, twists and turns, with Joshua in Cardiff in March, Amir Khan returning to Sky Sports on 21 April, the long awaited Bellew v Haye rematch on Saturday 5 May, as well as action from Katie Taylor and Kell Brook. The fight will also be made available to purchase for non-Sky TV customers, via the newly launched Sky Sports Box Office streaming service. Sky Sports’ partnership with NeuLion will provide the service via the NOW TV box, as well as PC, mobile and tablet devices.

I think AJ will win but if joe does pull it off a nice cash windfull will ease the stick ill end up getting on here ?

TBH win or lose I expect Joe to do us proud, he will give it 110%
I hope they both come in light, AJ already looks lean and Joe has plenty of time to drop weight. 235lbs for Joe and 240lbs for AJ, I think a great fight will be delivered If Joe comes in 235lbs or less I give him a great shot, 240+ and he's too heavy and gives up his foot speed advantage, 245+ and he is obviously doing something wrong and gets drubbed

But, I have never seen an attempt to employ these 'skills' into JP's game nor evidence of them in a fight. Incredible really that Joe has gone so far without any great skill set. So, I'm with you die, I can't see Joe getting through AJ's jab and landing 'the bomb;. V.

Assuming AJ DOES have a glass jaw, my question is: how is Parker gonna get to it? Simple boxing strategies won't get to AJ's "glass" jaw. He's either going to have to get into a firefight with AJ, get inside his jab and counter, or do "surprise" attacks while AJ is coming forward and not throwing yet. I suggest the third option. Unfortunately, having seen Joe's previous fights, I think he'll be on the end of AJ's jab and try unsuccessfully to counter while backing up. I see AJ's "robotic" style as a plus for him. Tight defense, tends to throw straight punches, moves forward ok. One caveat: Klit knocked AJ down by throwing a jab, partially blinding AJ, and then the right. Oldest trick in boxing. |
