I hope they fine tune it, and ffs dial back the amount of bag work, that can't be good on a kid that complains with sore shoulders and elbows. Leave the big solid punches for the face and body of the sparring partners and the ultimate opponent.

I have also thought for sometime now that KB is over training JP. Parker is a nice humble young man but perhaps he is guilty of trying to please everyone ? He needs to start taking more control and doing what works for him and what is right for him instead of doing what his idiot promoters want. I truely believe that we won't see the best JP until he cuts ties with DUCO and KB.
I think that is why Parker came out and said what he said about things needing to change. I think he's growing up. Before, he needed Duco and KB, as I don't think he would have made it this far. I'd include Stu Duncan in that group. He just wasn't that good, and was matched well and fought in NZ. Now, I don't know. I think part of the re-assessment happened with that article.
