I'm no Duco hater, but credit where credit is due, and criticism where criticism is due.
I was happy with the fights up to and including Meehan, but Martz and Bergman were shit. Takam was a good fight. Now we have another shit one.
Parker is now in a position where he is mandated to fight AJ by January of next year. Time is critical. Every fight after the Takam fight should have been at least top 20 level. This fight should never have been made, it is a joke, and a very poor decision considering the position Parker is in. He is the IBF mandatory, it will be far easier now to match him against top level opposition without having to pay them through the roof because the mandatory spot is the prize, not the money.
