Joseph Parker

[diehard]

Joseph Parker and Takam are in town. Coming to a town near you to promote the fight. Hope they come to New Plymouth...had them both on Crowd Goes Wild.

Seeing them both together on tele die, what is your impressions on these guys?

[diehard]

Just saw a fade away shot, will have to look closer as the time draws near. You know, shirts off, eyes locked in a stare...

[diehard]

Sham, saw the interview below with both fighters. Takam looks very confident, and has very thick shoulder and arm muscles. I think this fight will decide whether Parker can take on the elite after dispatching with the journeymen:

Parker KO Round 3

Parker's often nervous in situations like this. Any time he's expected to speak professionally he kind of clams up. I like Kevin Barry, but I wonder if he's put a bit much pressure on Parker to be ultra professional, I don't think it's in Parker's nature. As soon as the mood lightens, Parker changes dramatically, more smiles and laughs. I'd prefer if Parker was like this all the time, and didn't try so hard to be something he's not. He's always a good guy regardless.

On a side note, someone needs to give Takam some toothpaste and a toothbrush.

[mippy]

Takam looks to be in good shape.

The weighin will look something. To me BF25 is on the money about Jo and nervousness, could be his undoing.
