Is Madman Higgins still with him?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Is Madman Higgins still with him?

Must be.

After Parker signed with Matchroom, Higgins became his ‘manager’ ..

Not seen him for a while though.

[Redback Rasta]

Parker is on the wrong side of the hill.

There's no question about that and without making excuses for him, I know Parker has had his challenges with injury. In particular with his shoulders. The KO power he had early days has long since deserted him.

Joseph Parker weighs in at his lightest weight in FIVE years

Weighing in at 108.8kg - the lightest weight since his defeat to Anthony Joshua in 2018 - Parker looked impressive at the Tuesday weigh-in as he towered over his opponent, who clocked 97.4kg on the scales.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Joseph Parker: 239 pounds
Faiga "Django" Opelu: 214 pounds

[Redback Rasta]

Parker looking in pretty good shape but I must admit the Nikita Tszyu-Bommber fight interests me more than the main event.

100%

Who knows if this Tszyu has it all, but I'm keen to find out as he develops.

I hope Nikita turns out to be an absolute world beater but I think Bommber will be a decent test and we will learn a lot more about both their potentials from this fight.

Two unbeaten Australian prospects, hopefully tough as nails, young enough not to know how to lose.
Looking forward to it

Why is this fight on a Wednesday?

Is that an Oz thing, middle-of-the-week boxing holiday?

Wednesday night boxing is an occasional thing in Australia. Sometimes it is so the boxing doesn't clash with weekend football games.

$60 for that? Oh please!!

Will be watching from the comfort of my local pub with the $60 still in my pocket.

[Redback Rasta]

Just read Latrell Mitchell claiming he will fight the winner of Mooney-Bellchambers.

What an underwhelming possibility.

[KiwiRider]

I'll watch the David Nyika and Nyikita Tszyu fights and probably go to bed before Parker

[Redback Rasta]

Jayde Mitchell lost to Reeves TKO2 from a cut eye.

Career in tatters.

[damage]

Campbell Somerville def. Isaias Sette by TKO (retirement, R4)

Think this result is the other way around, Sette won.
