You'd think that he would have done all those things kiwi mentioned above well before 32. As his conditioning trainer said, "I can't believe he has done this well up to now." I wonder if this Longfellow? guy gives him a leg up on the rest of the competition, or just evens it up?
At a 2-1 favourite for ZZ, what do you and your son think, bart? I think it's worth a few $$$ to throw on JP.

They are taking a somewhat "Wilder" approach once again.
I like it.
But this time I think Parker can get a late KO

I expect the best Parker we have ever seen in this fight
He has reached his prime years in the sport

Agree Kiwi
Doesn't guarantee victory but its great to see his commitment to boxing.
As long as he doesn't get clipped early JP will be testing ZZ all the way.
This is Zhangs biggest test.

Will ZZ be the guy who fought Forrest and Hrgovic? Or who fought JJ twice? I'm banking on the fact that JJ was tailor made for ZZ, slow, not much movement, and can't fight southpaws.
Remember, JJ was hyped bigtime after JP. Maybe ZZ is the same after JJ.
Man, gotta know your alphabets in boxing!

yip JP was unfit for JJ fight looks nothing like he does now... would he have beaten JJ fully fit ? Dunno JJ still seems a bad match up for JP.
Yes JJ was tailor made for ZZ - no movement and over reliant on his ability to take punches directly to the noggin. Verus an unfit JP this can work- as we know JP is a quick puncher but not a heavy handed HW, ZZ possess elite power in both paws so standing in front of him asking him to hit u hoping he will gas is suicide.... JP will not do this.
Make ZZ move all night -angles- feints while pinching rounds with quick in and out combos...
I can't wait

All good bart. I just can't believe that a 40 year old ZZ is suddenly the hottest boxer in the heavyweight division. Where was he before JJ, who, as you said, was tailor made for ZZ.
I like your game plan for JP. Just needs NOT to get caught by one of those paws.
