That didn't take long until comparisons are made again. LOL
In regards to the fight, after watching it on about 120 pixels, and a few Youtube highlights...What I did make out:
* Joe had no concern of Bergmans punches and left himself open at times. Shrugged off some solid hits to confirm Joe has a good chin.
* The big right hook was thrown well at times, at others he didn't lead in with the double jab, at which point the one off right was at times countered.
* Definitely had a plan from his corner to work the body throughout the vast majority of the bout.
* Bergman toughed it out well, and would have been stopped much earlier if Parker had targeted the head more.
* Joes conditioning was excellent, and considering the heat and humidity, I'd say he would be one of the fittest HWs in the world at present.
He needs and break, and a decent opponent. A solid April signing would mean a few weeks off, and a gradual increase back towards Aprils bout.
In regards to the AJ comparison. Sham, that's all trash talk to get the British publics tongues wagging...don't read into it.
