Bellew has got a bit of a chin and Parker isn't a massive heavyweight. I'd say the only two that would destroy bellew are Joshua and wilder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen him once against Ruiz Jnr and I must admit I wasn't very impressed with Parker in the slightest. Granted I have only watched him once I've seen him fight a few times. As he has stepped up his opposition (Takam and Ruiz) he hasn't look as good. But he still has very fast hands and can punch very well in combination. He fights with his hands too low, which means he is fairly easy to hit (doesn't move his head much) but does have a very good chin (doesn't want to trade on that too often at this weight though). Doesn't have outsized power for the weight but can still punch relatively hard, certainly hard enough to get a fat cruiserweight out of there. He has only recently turned 25 so still has time on his side, but I really think he needs to change trainers, Kevin Barry has taken him as far as he can. He's a good trainer but Parker really needs a top heavyweight trainer to maximise his talents. Edited March 7, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Stunning KO of Curtis Stevens by David Lemieux last night: I have no idea why Curtis Stevens has been (relatively) highly rated, he's really not good, but this does demonstrate how devastating Lemieux is. Lemieux is limited but a really fun fighter to watch, he always looks to be aggressive and if you stand in front of him without giving him a massive amount to think about he will invariably deliver. I do hope he gets to fight Canelo, would be a great fight and one Lemieux can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can understand it from Mayweathers point of view, he makes another 100 million to fight a bloke he could beat with one hand. For Conor its just money and pantomime (how long before he ends up in WWF?) because he surely knows that he will be completely embarrassed. It wouldn't suprise me you know if Conor lost his marbles and ended up getting disqualified for something outside of boxing rules, a kick or takedown whatever. Pointless fight that millions will buy on PPV. Edited March 14, 2017 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Golovkin vs Jacobs tonight, very good fight that GGG will prevail in and win by stoppage, but will have a number of competitive rounds on route. Roman Gonzalez on the undercard, one of the best P4P in the world, although hasn't looked that good in his last two fights, as he has moved up in weight and become a 4 weight world champion. Will be interesting to see he performs, this fight should be easier than his last one, but there's a theory that age is kicking in somewhat. He's 29 but boxers at his weight don't go on too long, they usually deteriorate dramatically between 27-30 years old.

Jacobs lightning attacks could see him waltz straight in to a bomb. I've took the 5/1 for GGG in 1-3 but I kinda hope it goes on as long as possible.

OutByEaster? Posted March 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2017 Jacobs got robbed there. 115-112 on two scorecards? It's the kind of thing that gives boxing a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
