gothe, they are down on Parker because he's not facing top opposition. In the same breath, THEY are saying he's not ready for top opposition. He's only 23, had 14 fights, what is he supposed to other than KO them. Look at Tua's first 14 fights. Nobodies.
THEY say that it'll have a bad ending. Well, Klit was knocked down 11 times before he found Manny and his octopus technique. Tua lost to Barrett--twice, and was knocked down. Parker won't be invincible, and will lose. My issue is that if he's going to lose, let it happen by fighting top ten opposition that is hand picked, rather than a Meehan or someone else who is not ranked but will give him trouble.
Sham, no-one asked Minto to get his nose busted in sparring and still front up for the money. His mistake, and Baby Joseph capitalised. Parker plays what's in front of him, and does it quite well. BTW, I see Izu as on the same level as Parker, and would like him to step up as well.
The Duco card was good this time. Julius Long was a good addition, and Horn fought a top 15 guy. When Duco gets it wrong, I say so. Right now, they're getting it right. Now, Mr Higgins, if you'll send that check you promised...
