Interesting interview with Higgins , he’s actually quite a clever guy
No matter how many times AJ has been wobbled nor, how easily and often the English 'choke'- how does that make Parker a chance against AJ? 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!
