Joshua v Parker - 31/3/18

[Violent Demise]

Last thing we need is a draw and they do it again

[Violent Demise]

Neither fighter takes a chance. Fuck this fight. I don't give a fuck who wins. As long it's not a draw

[Vendettos]

A lack of skills tonight to be fair and I agree with @smashup that Lennox would easily take them both.

Tbh the red fucked then both here, Joshua and Parker (mostly Parker are dangerous inside).

[Violent Demise]

Terrible cards for a terrible fight. Joshua was never gonna lose this if it went 12.

Chance Wilder travels just went out the window off those cards. That said speed of 1-2 of Wilder would be hell on AJ.

I had it a draw but there were a ton of swing rounds. I assumed the scores would be ridiculously wide though so I’m not shocked. No problem with Joshua winning but just like boxing judging we know how corrupt it is

Was frankly expecting a better fight. The cards were horrendous also. Agree with the poster that said Parker fought not to lose (or get KO'ed). AJ was flat, maybe giving Parker too much respect. Still don't know what to make of a Wilder-AJ fight.... not gonna change my expectations off this one fight.

I felt Joshua fought not to lose and Parker fought to just go the distance. Underwhelming fight, but a soood victory and another belt for Joshua. I feel he needs to get his confidence back up to 100% after essentially failing to stop his last two opponents or look very impressive against them. He’s still a highly tuned athlete with a great, tight boxing stance and foundation. Perhaps more combos and jabs and less trying to hold with the left and land that magic right uppercut so often. Wilder wasn’t doing shit when he had 21 fights and I still feel Joshua will beat him. Wilder is very very dangerous though. Honestly, after this one, a fit (if that’s even possible) Fury could be as well.

Wilder has had 40 fights with 39 KO. This was AJ's 21th fight. I'm not saying Wilder can beat AJ. I just think he needs 1or 2 more fights to sharpen his skills. AJ knows that a fight with Wilder would bring millions. So I'm thinking AJ didn't want to get caught with anything that would cost him that fight. Just remember this Wilder will not fight like Parker. He is coming to bring it with some real KO power.

[Violent Demise]

Wilder knocks Joshua out. Especially fighting or sparring like he did today.

Parker loses the title he never really won and never really defended. Good riddance

I have never ever seen a boxer have tape loose on his glove and DECIDE for himself to walk over to his corner..Prime Fury would outbox everyone.

Why is everyone making out Wilder would beat AJ after this performance..Wilder just beat an ex drugged up 47 year old..AJ stuck to his jab..made it boring and got the win..

He didn’t make it boring on purpose. He was having problems getting getting past the jab

Not saying he beats him right out but hardly a stellar show by Joshua and Parker jab gave him problems well enough. AJ showed reserves in late rounds and strength to pull away for me. Also see Wilder with faster one,two. No certainty either way for me, but fight must happen.
