Oh my!! I so wanted Joe to be the goods but, he is just not improving. That clip is evidence of the fact. No need to break it down as I've said it all before.. Joe is limited and will be exposed probably sooner than later. Discussions here of late have weighed in on the merits of KB as coach. Too late. I don't think Parker's bad habits can now be righted.. 5 years ago when he signed up with Duco - they needed a Master of the craft to break Joe's game down and rebuild it utilizing his natural gifts. His speed and strength needed to be honed with skills and mobility. That hasn't happened and I can only blame KB for that. Winners are grinners.. and the Duco boxing novices believe that all is dandy 'cos Joe has a title and huge paydays just down the pike. It's not going to happen. The bubble is about to burst then reality will dawn..
Since Joe was matched with Hughie I have taken the time to watch clips of Tyson on the pads with Hughie's Dad and coach Peter. Peter does not let mistakes go unnoticed.. I cannot say the same for KB as Joe repeats mistake after mistake without comment.. True, I really have no idea what KB's lessons are but, they have not manifested in Joe exhibiting anything but strength. If the clock could be wound back I think that KB would be better suited as Joe's Manager.. renown in the game internationally, comes across as diplomatic and I suspect is a pretty savvy negotiator... but, a great coach of champions, he is not.
Now, if Joe jumps into the ring and proves me wrong I will be delighted and the first to sing of his glory. I started out as a cheerleader of the young prospect but, the Duco model and the absence of improvement have compelled me to say it how I see it, right or wrong.
