The KO is something Parker will have to do and will be on his mind

Couldn't watch much of that rubbish. Both guys don't look that comfortable probably because they're both decent dudes who are better at fighting than trash talking.
I want JP to win but will be equally stoked if AJ becomes the undisputed champ one day

JOSHUA v PARKER - WAR of the BODY TYPES
There are basically two main body types in HW boxing-
The "Tall Timber" and the "Thick Squat" guys.
Best of the 'Tall Timber' = Lennox Lewis, the Klitschko's, Anthony Joshua.
They tend to have a long, lanky frame, but even the best of them can be ungainly and awkward when they have to move fast (like a giraffe = ungainly).
The best 'Tall Timber' guys have a good jab and a strong "finishing" hand. They fight tall and keep their opponent at bay. Their chin is a little suspect.
TYPE 2 - "Thick Squat"
These guys tend to be shorter, more solid, more naturally powerful. They tend to have a granite chin and they move in a far more natural, fluid way. But they are shorter.
Shortest version of 'Thick Squat' = Mike Tyson, David Tua, Joe Frazier. (Explosive power).
Mid version of 'Thick Squat' = Carlos Takam, Andy Ruiz
Tall version of 'Thick Squat' = Luis Ortiz (6'3"), Joseph Parker (6'4").
For most of these guys, their problem is simple when fighting the best of the 'Tall Timber'. They simply do not have the HEIGHT to trouble the best of the tall guys. Thus even Tyson and Tua could not hurt Lennox. Simply not tall enough.
WHY PARKER is SO CONFIDENT
Like many Samoans, Parker is basically a "thick squat" type. He has not fully filled out yet, but that is his basic body type. Except he is genuinely tall and fast for this type.
Parker has been fighting these "tall lanky" guys for his whole career. He LOVES fighting them. Almost always smashes them out. The most ominous words that Parker said at the AJ press conference: "I was surprised. He's not that big."
Was he talking about AJ's height? (2 inches taller than him). No.
He was talking about the overall frame of AJ - a "Tall Lanky" type, even though he tries to hide it with added muscle. This is Parker's very favorite type of opponent. Listen to the way Parker and Barry talk about this. Oozing confidence.
My prediction: AJ will not be able to keep Parker off. Just like every 'Tall Timber' guy he has ever faced, Parker will walk through AJ's jab and KO him. (Only way to escape it is to run like Hughie).
Parker wins by brutal KO within 7.
Your thoughts?

love the confidence!
I believe this will go late, especially if Joe tags AJ in the first couple of rounds. Then AJ will be very cautious.
RE: Joshua vs Parker betting - Kiwi - 03-12-2018
The point I'm making is that Parker LOVES these "tall lanky" types (no matter how muscled)
I think even with AJ, Parker will walk through the jab and KO him
Totally different body types.
RE: Joshua vs Parker betting - shamrock - 03-12-2018
Wow, Hmmm. Lol really
RE: Joshua vs Parker betting - Kiwi - 03-12-2018
When Hughie felt Parker's power, he started running and never stopped.
AJ is not a "runner". He will stand there and be KO'd.
It is all about BODY TYPES, as I show above.

Lol hughie fury is always a runner
RE: Joshua vs Parker betting - mippy - 03-12-2018
It's not Joshua jab that Joe needs to worry about.
RE: Joshua vs Parker betting - Msreef - 03-12-2018
Hughie is definitely a runner but I do think Joe's power made him fight extra negative.
