Thanks for your comments, Dannyboy. Don't know why Whyte is a target for KB and Duco. He's dangerous in his hometown, is not ranked, and there are easier fights on the O2 undercard for AJ. Price, Chisora, from England, or Duhaspas, who is top 5 in the WBC.
KB's relationship with JP gets him through as his trainer. JP trusts him. Jimmy Smith from "In This Corner" rates KB highly. I do think he needs to get someone with a fresh pair of eyes and perspective to consult with KB.
I'm sure KB is frustrated in that JP behaved very different defensively than he did in camp. KB said the camp was too long at 12 weeks. He did the same thing with Tua, and he should know better by now. Tua did much better when they moved to 8 weeks.
The positive in all this is that Parker's elbow was at 75%, he did make a lot of mistakes, but he still beat a fighter that is better than anyone Wilder or AJ have faced.
