And Joe wonders why strangers advise him to get a new trainer and manager..

Probably because every reason that you were supposed win turned out to be every
reason you lost! It has nothing to do with 'not throwing enough double jabs!' Every
punch you threw was short of the mark anyway.. a few more missed double jabs would
not have changed anything.

Give yourself credit Joe. You are an awesome athlete who has managed to snatch a
version of the Title.. You are not, however, an accomplished Boxer. You have a
lifetime of skills still to master.

Why don't you have a strategy for the jab? The most common punch in the game and
the punch that single handedly stole your world title. Why did every Joshua jab go
unpunished? You need to slip and punch simultaneously.. this is the grist of
Champions. You are fast enough to throw right hands over a long jab then,.. other
opportunities present. Don't wait your turn to punch! Don't telegraph.. launch
forward and punch simultaneously.. like you did all night against Fury and again
against Joshua. Boxers will simply move away or, meet you with a straight jab.


This small piece was spot on.

In this AJ breaks down all the Parker Camp claims and pledges to employ the very same skills to break Parker.  This article is poignant because that is exactly what happened.  Ultimately, TeamP managed to stir the beast by insulting his abilities thus motivating him, to box JP to pieces. Impressive! ..and I'm not referring to TeamP.
 
The TeamP pre-fight summary was that JP had the superior Jab, better footwork and more superior skills.  Add to that Joshua's mid/late round durability questions and his glass jaw.. it's no wonder the odds on JP moved in strongly days out from the fight.. AJ is just too mechanical..


It may be for your best interests Joseph that strangers question your company.  If Boxing is going to play a part in your life going forward then you need to implore KB to ship in specialist coaches who can skill you in footwork, ringcraftmanship and slipping/punching strategies.

Good Luck Joseph
