It ain't a bad fight.
Jennings has lost to Wlad and the best version I've seen of Ortiz. He has also been quite busy compared to the current moss gathering crop of HW's
He not a heavy hitter and I can sense a fan friendly fight in what seems like a lull in the HW division.
I pick Parker to grind out a win, with Jennings making him work hard for it.

Agreed. Obviously it also gives Parker the chance of some US exposure.

Oh yes, good point :TU:
Not that he will get a shot at either Wilder or Miller for the foreseeable future.

True, but it won't do Parker any harm to get some exposure over there.

Good fight, I like both fighters.

I'll go with Parker though, he looks that little bit sharper of the two.

Good matchmaking if it happens.

Parker should win an entertaining fight.
