Joshua v Parker - 31/3/18

[powerpuncher]

Does this performance make you question if he would beat Ortiz?

Joshua says he wants Wilder or Fury. Haha. That’s a joke.

I honestly think that Wilder knocks out Joshua. Obviously I’m not super confident, but if I had to put money on it I would put it on Wilder.

My money is still on AJ. He just has to land.

Wilder is still Wilder with all of his flaws. AJ must establish and live on that strong jab..not half way point but very start. AJ also has far better arsenal and physical strength, and composure to beat Wilder.

But if he stands there looking on flat feet I can see another scenario where Wilder short circuits him and AJ doesn't move around and bend at waist that well, least this night. Both have tremendous pluses and minuses for heavyweights really.

I think Parker deserves credit for being competitive right to the end, Joshua less so for failing to take him out, height weight and reach advantage not used.
As for Wilder I still think he's a clown who doesn't know how to box, but if AJ's got any sense he'll have another couple of 5-10 mil fights before risking it against a car park fight nutcase.

Just given this some thought...
Current Heavies are SHIT
A Wlad fit Fury schools all of them but a Prime Lennox Smokes them.all by KO!
It's just not the same is it?

Yep you're right but it is what it is.

That’s what I’ve always said. Wlad got fortunate to hit his stride once all decent HWs retired. I don’t think he’s was that great. I think there are a few decent HWs at the top right now that weren’t there during Wlads reign but overall it’s still awful.

Was thinking more or less same this morning. Lewis wouldn’t have let Parker see final bell. The hw landscape is very different these days and has allowed AJ to get to heights he has whilst still maturing. There was a degree of maturity about his performance last night though as others have said but at some point he made his mind up he was happy with the ud.

If we get a fit Fury back he cleans up outclassing AJ and coming through a thriller with Wilder.

Last nights fight was dull but the Price fight made sure we got our money’s worth!

[Dia bando]

AJ won the fight with his jab simple but effective Parker seemed to have a lot of nervous energy did not land much not
much action but thats boxing sometimes what you expect you don't get.
I see AJ beating Wilder but Fury would be a very difficult fight but it would be a mega fight over here hopefully theses fights will happen.

He was made to look flat footed and one dimensional by somebody smaller, lighter and with much less reach who won some rounds there. Wilder has height and reach on him and fantastic athleticism if not footwork. You've got to figure Wilder manages to land some bombs during twelve rounds. I really fancy an upset there.

And the big gyppo would give Joshua fits if he gets back in proper shape. I bet he saw that and he's training like a bastard this week.

Would Ortiz beat Parker?

Don’t get me wrong..I’m not sold on AJ.

I’ve said it many times in the past that Fury would outbox him if he’s fit.

AJ is very stiff and Bruno(ish)..the difference being is that Bruno had a much tougher era.

[imp]

AJ keeps wilder on the end of the Jab all night.. and when or if they both trade you basically flip a coin..
