Parker-Takam - Winner gets AJ - Sky Sports 3 - 11am UK

[ross]

I think Parkers stamina is fine.

I also think he believed his own hype that hes a massive puncher, even the British commentators kept referring to his big power. I dont think he is such a big puncher. Minto lasted longer with Parker than he did against Whyte.

He threw the kitchen sink at Takam and was loading up on everythng thinking he could get a hi light stoppage and burnt himself out early.

He didnt look ready for a belt holder but at the same time if Joshua had fought Takam I dont think he wouldnt have looked any better.

This gives his whole team a chance to reassess where he is.

Iv already mentioned this but getting him in Furys camp as a sparring partner would do him wonders. He looked today like someone whos never been punched back and to be far he hasnt.

Hearn will want a fight between Parker and Joshua because Parker didnt look great but I dont think this fight proved that Parker is not very good I think it just proved he cant fight a world rated challenger the same way he fights domestic level journeymen.

Sparring Fury later rounds would really make him rethink his lumbering footwork, he is so readable at the moment the only time he pretends he is slightly lighter on his feet and reactive is when he is out of range, anyone skip fit is going to have him all night long after playing the first three safe.

Who would be a good learning fight for Joshua?

I think duhaupass would be good, he is big, tall, strong and tough and most importantly isn't that good, so he could take guys late into the fight and make them work, like he did v wilder, although wilder did start to dominate him pretty easily but I think you could tell from wilders reaction from when the fight was stopped how tough he found that fight.

Parker looked like he'd shot his bolt halfway through but came back pretty well. I doubt his handlers will be in a hurry to stick him in with AJ, although Takam might take AJ deep too.

Having backed Parker to win on PTS I applaud Takam for being a hard cunt. Thanks.

Good fight, Parker did well especially when he looked like he might gas.

Best bit though for me was Parker trying to flog Burger King, and the clown in the ring doing the post fight interview signing off with 'and the NEW.........IBF mandatory challenger of the World...Joseph......Parker!!!! Golden

I dont think either of these two have the firepower to stop Joshua ploughing through them.

Called it spot on.

Parker should go after Bermane Stiverne...he's a big puncher but doesn't have much output and after a fight like that the fucking obvious fight is Lucas Browne, that would be a big fight in Australia and I think they would actually have a fun fight to watch.

Takam is an acid test for contenders, he's tough and durable, he's got decent pop but not enough to get him a title. If Joshua was to fight him I think Joshua punches hard enough to take him out in 5-7 rounds.
