Ranked 83 on boxrec and 38 years old,
Sand by for he's got a very good record and he presents a very big test for Joseph maybe his biggest test yet from Duco.
I'm all good with it though, Parker's not ready for any serious challengers just yet

Same height as Joseph, not convinced by his record. Looks like he's lost to every decent fighter he's fought. Still could be interesting

Woah, I saw this guys record (someone he fought)

probably shouldn't be allowed to box for his own sake

I don't mind a few guys like Saglam as opponents.. Especially if the following opponent is decent. But hard to see how they keep convincing folks to pay PPV for it....

This sums up the two sides of the issue nicely

Watched a couple of Saglem's fights, he's a good fit for Joseph, looks like a fighter who likes to come forward and doesn't use his height. Not much of a jab either

That said, he does look durable and has some skills

Excellent opponent! Very good record. Loses when he steps up. And has only fought in Germany. Well done Duco! Next fight in Invercargill will be a top 20 guy.
