You no good bastard...

I like David Higgins, it would be great if he was rolled out in front of the press Sunday morning with all the belts and a big blotto grin on his boat. Eddie constantly mugs him off but he throws in subtle slippery ones like saying he was lucky to get out alive after Eddie saw him in his vest.

In 30 years they'll be tracking him down to a portacabin on a used car lot somewhere in New Zealand, feet up, cup of coffee (topped up with whiskey) and a picture of Parker with his arms around him. They'll be books and films about how he beat the conglomerate to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Big fight analysis and betting prediction for the Anthony Joshua v Joseph Parker World Heavyweight Unification bout. https://youtu.be/FJnqrOHuTZE

Good weight for Josh 17 st 4lbs (242lbs) - Parker 16st 12lbs (236lbs)

Glad he's learnt from the Takam fight and shifted some timber, Parker looks bang up for this as well so this should be a good fight.
I think Josh might struggle to land clean for a few rounds as i expect Parker to be on his toes and in and out the pocket early on but once Josh starts to hit the target we'll see just how good Parkers alleged granite chin really is and if he can take AJs power then this'll get very interesting as Parkers been the distance before.
Looking forward to Buatsi and Kelly on the undercard and hoping Pricey can pull off a miracle.
Cracking card this!


Joshua’s last five weigh-in results are as follows:
1. v Joseph Parker: 17st 4lbs (242lbs)

Parker to win via KO and David Price to win - 80/1

I'm bloody tempted to stick a random fiver on that.

Everyone seems to be really rooting for Price, I'd love to see him do it as well, the big lummox ain't no good but he is one of boxings nice guys

Both of them look pretty relaxed, Parker looked chuffed as fuck when AJ broke the stare first.

Price needs to let his hands go early and not freeze, try and take centre ring and smother Povetkin when he gets in range, repeat repeat repeat and can hopefully land a huge right hand.
If Povetkin catches him it's all over plus i'm not convinced Price can handle the massive pressure and occasion that will dawn on him as he approaches the ring.
Get the feeling his asshole falls onto the ring apron then he freezes and gets a beating within a couple of rounds.
We could be looking at the Albino Audrey Harrison

I hope Price can pull it off, will be on tenterhooks watching the fight.

Good weights for both guys. Neither guy has cut any corners in training but Joshua looks the more impressive physically as we expected.

A lot has been made of Joshua's chin and Josephs speed but one thing nobody seems to be talking about is parkers defence.hes quite happy to take a shot to land his own. He's abit sloppy with his defence because he has such belief in his chin but that's a bad habit to have when you face puncher like Joshua. I can see Parker taking a lot of punches and getting cut as a result. Carlos takam didn't even take any shots clean and the ref still stopped him so I expect something similar here. Should be explosive while it lasts though

I’m pleasantly surprised by Joshua’s weight. He’s clearly made an effort to be lighter, it’s a significant drop.to me , that shows he’s working hard and not taking anything for granted. Parker is a decent weight too, but form it’s Joshua in 8 and I think we’re going to see a much improved performance. Don’t be surprised if he catches him early.

I think Parker will avoid taking too many chances early and will be using his legs to move around and not get caught in AJ's traps. As Parker tires from the pressure and slows down from the extra strength of Joshua he takes punishment and gets stopped late.
