Joseph Parker

[bart]

I think like most matchroom stuff its 95% staged. The public love it when Del goes feral.... sells tickets

[Ibeabuchi]

I want to see a super slick JP in there, on his toes snapping that double and triple jab out, throwing that straight right and not standing there to admire it. If he gets dragged into a fire fight with Chisora its not going to end well, I want to see better cardio and fight IQ, Joe gets lost in fights especially if its not going his way, if he cant beat Chisora he risks becoming a Takam level gatekeeper. Is he better than that? I think this is the fight where we find out once and for all

[diehard]

By his standards, he's been inactive and fought inferior opposition for so long I don't know what Parker has. He's a big mystery to me now. All of the issues you mentioned Ike are definitely true. He's gonna have to move, be smart, but also bring the power to keep Chisora off of him.

[Kiwi]

I think he will absolutely dominate from go to whoa

Bring the POWER, Joe.

[Msreef]

Let's just hope Joe has learnt his lessons in his losses against Joshua and Whyte.
Jab and move, throw some nice combinations, be defensively sound and put on a good show, don't just gun for the knock out, not sure he has the power anyway and too risky.
Joe needs to make a statement though, it's a fine balance.
A fight against Povetkin/Pulev afterwards would be great...or a rematch with Whyte.

[bart]

Yes I agree with all you say there Msreef, I think ging for the KO with limited (elite level) power is what saps his energy. the last thing he wants v Del is to be found standing infront of him gassed.
The first 2 rounds v Whyte is what he should replicate... who knows without the headbutt he may have cruised to a wide decision.... we will never know for sure

The article had a 31 minute clip of both fighters discussing the fight with an interviewer.  Very interesting.
