Off Topic Joshua V Parker

Anyone gonna be watching the boxing this weekend?
Cheering on our boy Joshua.

Was gonna stream it, but for £19.95 you can get it official including the under card fights, which I think is pretty reasonable to be honest, so I may just pay.

Anyone putting on a bet?

 

I’ll be watching it, and the full undercard which looks a cracker tbf.

Hearn puts a real show on and it’s not obscene at 20 notes imo.

As for the winner, I think Joshua will win, but I’d be amazed if it was an easy victory. Parker is a very controlled individual and he’ll give him a real test imo. I expect Joshua to wear him down and take him out in the later rounds though, albeit I wouldn’t be surprised if it went the full distance.

 

will watch it on stream. I will go with a Josh win but as Tobes says its not going to be a cake walk for him

 

Fully agree re Parker - and welcome back fella

 

Agree with your prediction of the fight.
Both lads are undefeated so something's gotta give.
i think Joshua will edge it on points myself, for his first win by decision.
Winner will likely be fighting Deontay Wilder to further unify the heavyweight division.

 

I don't see anything to worry AJ in Parker and fully expect him to be asleep inside 5 rounds.

 

Not certain that fight will now be made mate, as White is now the mandatory for Wilders belt, and I’d give White more than an outside chance against Wilder, who’s power is absolutely devastating, but his boxing skills are virtually none existent. So Wilders greed might have cost him, and the eventual unification fight could well be Joshua vs White....

 

you reckon Whyte will beat Wilder?
Not convinced of that myself.
I know Wilder is more of a brawler, and his technique is no where near refined as, say, Joshua's, but the guy is a powerhouse.

Anyway, it's boxing, so I guess anything can happen, I remember Hasim Rahman flooring Lennox Lewis, complete upset.

 

He got rocked and nearly finished by Ortiz the other week, I’d give White a real chance of hurting him, albeit White tends to allow his opponents to land, which would be unlikely to end well in with Wilder.

 

My oldest is home from Uni and will stream it, I wouldn't pay £20

 

So’s my lad as it goes, so we’ve sold our match tickets for the City game and will watch that and then the boxing, no doubt with a takeaway........ #ladsnightin

 

AJs first defeat coming.

 

Can't see it. AJ just needs to find his reach early doors and Parker will either start to push it and walk into a devastating KO or he'll start pretending his elbow or shoulder hurts to save face and chuck the towel in.

 

Yeah we're having a family night pizza and beers.

 

It's a massive step up for Parker and I can't see him winning.
His best bet might be to make Joshua work and hope to get him while he's gassing, as his stamina's questionable.
If he can keep moving, frustrate him and take him to the later rounds, then he might have a chance.
His reach and power disadvantage is massive, though.

Potevkin v Price is a bit of an odd one. I don't see what the Scouser's done to get that fight.
Another loss and that's got to be the end of him.

 

I am going to the fight - xmas present from my son . We have pretty decent seats close to ringside. My son organised the seats for the Klitchko fight which were great, so hoping they are the same.

It will be long day, just informed Mrs G4E if that and was like “what time you going and when back”, wasn’t impressed with 930 and 4am.

Cmon AJ

 

Superb mate.

 

Don't particularly like White or Wilder so I hope there's a double knockout!

AJ will fight Wilder whether he's got the belt or not. Just might take a bit longer for it to happen if White wins

 

Nice!
Have fun mate.

lol 9:30 and 4am you travelling from London?

 

Thanks, should be good day day out.
i also have my stepson going so good fam day out
