Can't see Parker being able to avoid the big right for many rounds. Wilder in six.

I think Parker could outbox him for 12. Maybe even break him down late.

We have no idea if Parker is any good. He has literally fought nobody other than Fury at the end of his career.

Looks like the shows on :bag:
Why is Deontay wearing protective trousers?
And why is he disappointed that there is so little marmalade in that mini-jar that came with his toast? Everyone knows you don't get much, and turning it upside down won't help.
So many questions.

As I said - a Fury at the end of his career.

I think the only decent version of Fury he fought was in the second fight - and we all know what happened there.

I rate Wilder at European level at best. It’s feasible Parker outboxes him.

Parker might actually be the best non Fury opponent Wilder has ever boxed. I’d rate him slightly above a pensioner Ortiz.

Either way considering Wilder is in his late 30’s and has almost 50 professional fights it’s a shocking inditement of the modern HW division.

Don’t think there is any might about it. He is!

In his whole career, Wilder has had one fight against a top level heavyweight in decent shape. He was demolished.

Fury was in bad shape in the other two. Wilder wouldn’t get near a peak Fury.

Pretty sure that's supposed to be:

Whose best wins are Stiverne 1 and Ortiz. Since losing that fight, Berm only has a win over Rossy (who dropped him with a righthand), with further losses to Wilder, Joyce, Bryan and Guidry. And Ortiz lost to Ruiz, who lost to Parker and AJ.

Wilder has a far better reputation than record to date. Parker's mileage seemed to double overnight against Joyce though, so I doubt he's enough of his old durability to stand up to the windmill. If he concentrates hard the whole way he might sneak a decision with cautious boxing.

Unless Wilder's all over the shop I think aggression works against Parker, but given he's been criticised for passivity a few times, it's just possible this is a good matchup for him. In the early rounds I'd encourage him to quicken his feet to keep their mutual output low behind a tight guard.

Wilder is obviously a danger for Parker when he starts flailing away, but I’d have to opt for the younger guy who can actually box.

I reckon Parker believes he can win this comfortably.

The only time I've seen Parker dominantly outmatched was against Joyce. Although Joshua comfortably beat him wide, he didn't look close to going down or getting knocked out. His loss to Whyte was very competitive. I'd imagine the same again. Even quite a lot of his wins have been more competitive than they should have been.

We will never know what should have happened vs AJ because the ref was awful. (Think oarker would of probably lost sti just a more brutal affair)

Whyte came down to a head but. It was early on but up until that head but concussed him Parker had been way way way sharper, looked like a mismatch (all be it for 5 mins).

Chis dinged him early. And Joyce beat him late.

Parker is solid but not elite. But I really hope he wins because he has just don’t things right. Seems like he wants to fight.

It will be interesting to see what Wilder has left.

While the Joyce fight must have taken something out of Parker, he has come back and looks ok

For me it's the most interesting fight of the night.

If Wilder doesn't get him out of there early, Parker will really start to fancy it

Wilder can catch you ANY time..

But he’ll need to catch Parker.

Parker has a decent chin.

This is a good card if you want to sit by the fireplace and watch boxing all day but there's nothing here I cannot live without seeing. This co main event here comes the closest. I want to see this fight.

I reckon Wilder will come out fast, and could well blow out after

Pretty much with this
Wilder will come out quick windmilling. ((Because of no ring time etc)
If Joseph can get thru that he’ll box Dentay’s head off.
