Joseph Parker

Parker ranked IBF #10 overnight. Now he's ranked in ALL the alphabets:

That is good news, because the IBF belt may end up being one that becomes vacant.

10 Joshua Parker New Zealand

IBF not sure if he's Anthony Joseph or Joshua Parker

Definitely the Skip punch at it again - heavy handed!! Straight right did it for Izu,

Fight of the night - Art Green / Zak Gilford. Green would be a decent boxer if he could use an educated left lead before throwing his good right. Would have Koed Gilford.

Take a look at this hand-held video of the Knockout from the Team Parker corner. You can hear their instructions to Joe and how he follows the gameplan.

That last punch was thunderous. Here is the video-

Thanks Kiwi. What's interesting is that when KB asked him to throw the "double left," it was not available at the time due to Martz doing something different. A timing issue. BUT, he eventually did it when he got a chance, and he got the KO.

Kiwi, you might be right. The IBF may be more fun. Lots of guys who haven't been around in the top spots before, coupled with a free for all alphabet. We have Teper (15-0) from Germany, Szipli?, Cunningham, etc.

I think the IBF are suddenly into Parker and we will see some movement.

Dean Lonergan sounded pretty confident.

It's weird not to be ranked at all, and go from that to #10. It really is a lolly scramble with Glazkov vs Martin maybe deciding who's the champ. Parker can beat both of them. To me, the two key guys standing in Parker way to a mandatory are Martin and Glazkov.
