Sour grapes for Jones as Joseph was taken by Duco under his nose. Honestly, everyone is saying the same thing: Parker showed grit and a good chin to beat a top contender in Takam, someone who is tougher than AJ or Wilder has ever faced. He has holes in his defense, got gassed, and takes too many punches. He and KB also realise all this and plan to work on it. Both agree he's not ready for Fury or AJ yet.
I really can't blame KB for not wanting to fight top 5-10 guys. They've worked hard for three years to get this far, a mandatory to a title shot. Pretty rare in these parts. So they are protecting their ranking while getting a 3-5 million dollar paycheck. If it were us, would we really take a chance on losing that kind of coin?
Bob Jones is a vindictive idiot.
