Joseph Parker v Fabio Wardley

[Primo Carnera]

joseph didn't need to back deontay up to get his respect, deontay was barely throwing anything. deontay was the favourite going in but some were already questioning where he was at, he had only fought one round since being stopped twice & had been out of the ring for over a year

joseph was the better boxer at times & i had him winning, he got caught because he was trading too much when he should have been using his movement & boxing smart & his weight probably contributed to him being more stationary in the later rounds

If Usyk turns down Wardley then a rematch could be made. Parker should still be favourite and would not be as careless and win on a points decision if given the chance.

Parker is still a force in the division and has plenty of good fights in him left.

Parker will only be a favourite in a rematch and will only be relevant in the division if he comes into the fight in good shape.
You don’t start coming in 17lbs over your regular weight and believe you’re some sort of beast .
I can’t get over how either unprofessional or how bad a decision it was to come in the way he did against Wardley.

i think people are forgetting how mid joseph really is

"I can’t get over how either unprofessional or how bad a decision it was to come in the way he did against WardleY"

i think it was a bad decision. he has been working with a new nutritionist/ strength & conditioning coach george lockhart & seemed to be hitting the weights like a mad man in the time between the zhilie & martin fights. the problem was they never got the chance to test that weight over hard fight late rounds. if joe took that weight in against oleksandr i think he would have been toyed with & stopped late. he should be around two forty, definitely not over two fifty
