Joseph Parker

Saw the replay of the fight. Wardley could just shake off Parker's punches. JP couldn't. Reminded me a little of JJ/JP. Parker just doesn't have an KO power.

I thought JP fought well, and certainly out-boxed Wardley. He just doesn't have the power to close the show. Wardley did/does.

Rematch would be nice... wardley if the Usyk fight stalls may be up 4 it- he rematched Clarke

[diehard]

Except the Clarke fight was a draw and Wardley had something to prove. But, maybe the "early stoppage" could be a motivator for Wardley. Heaps of fights available if Joe wants to continue...

End of the day $ will be the motivator - if Usyk unavailable for whatever reason the rematch may be best market value.
Other options for Parker?
Will Warren want to feen him to Itauma ? Warren would

My thinking is that if JP fights and beats Itauma, then he may be in line for Usyk if he beats Wardley, or a rematch if Wardley wins. The only other person deserving is Kabayel, and he might be a possibility for JP if he beats Itauma.
