I actually think Zhang could win a rematch. Needs to start quicker, throwing more shots whilst Parker is trying to get into his rhythmn.

the poll says ngannu.
I think Parker wins again but Big Bang had him hurt, maybe he could get him in the rematch but I'd favour Joe. Was surprised Joe was the underdog, made some money on the first one

I would have 100% agreed with that yesterday, but then in an interview in the last 24hrs...
“When Tyson wins the fight with Usyk and I'm in position to fight for the WBO world title, if it’s gonna make a massive change in my life and my family’s lives, we’ll do it,” Parker said. “I reckon he’ll be like, ‘Let’s do it,’ so we can look after both of us for the rest of our lives.”

A heavyweight version of that weird Luke Campbell v Tommy Coyle dynamic. Anyone remember that really odd post fight interview?

I’ll put a little bet on Zhang if it goes ahead.

All Parker needs to do is avoid Zhang for a few rounds and an ever ageing Zhang will fade.

Zhang coasted because he thought he could just finish Parker whenever he wanted, I doubt he will be in that mindset in the rematch.
Parker avoided Zhang for 12 rounds while being dropped twice. There is a mathematical equation beyond me that probably says the odds of Parker surviving 24 rounds is worth betting on he doesn't

I wonder if Parker would fancy avenging his loss to Joyce at some point if the big 3 are all busy fighting each other

Doubt it would be his first choice. Unless Joyce got back in the wins, stylistically Joyce’s grind isn’t great for parker who probably can’t hurt him (unless his chin is cracked)…CaptainSpacerod wrote: ↑11 Mar 2024, 22:14 I wonder if Parker would fancy avenging his loss to Joyce at some point if the big 3 are all busy fighting each other
Parker is in the running for the wbo now, think he will fight whoever wbo want now, or soft fights or paydays. Don’t see Joyce as any of those really.
Assuming Parker fights Zhang July/august ish and wins (big assumption) then he will likely be promoted to full WBO champ by his next fight… In which case AJ 2 is a real possability (or other fights bigger than Joyce 2. (Whyte, Ruiz, usyk/ fury, or unifications)

Zhang was too lazy, did enough for the draw though with the two knockdown rounds and a couple of other rounds won.

Parker v Usyk seems a possible match up. I’d imagine Usyk would take a 116-112 type decision. Probably a lot more competitive than Usyk v Fury.

I'd think Usyk would look like something out of the matrix if he ever boxed Parker. It's all well and good putting a few a shots together and staying out of the way against the likes of Zhang and Wilder, but Usyk is a completely different level.polecateddy wrote: ↑12 Mar 2024, 07:54 Parker v Usyk seems a possible match up.

Parkers strengths over others is speed, footwork and stamina at heavyweight and Usyk is lightyears ahead of him in that regard and better than him at everything else too.Frostieballs wrote: ↑12 Mar 2024, 11:07I'd think Usyk would look like something out of the matrix if he ever boxed Parker.

I backed Parker first fight and I’ll back him in the second, but pretty wild we have 100% in favour of Parker….
I honestly think I could coach Zhang to win this… his “don’t risk gassing” strategy is awful. If he just throws early it’s a coin toss… lands he wins misses he losses…

zhang's work rate was shocking, i assume due to his limited tank. same thing now vs hrg and parker, clearly he has major power, but he barely even follows up after dropping and hurting guys. nor did he show any urgency or let it all out in the 12th
obviously he cant be completely ruled out because he can seriously bang and dropped parker multiple times, without even landing that cleanly or needing to accumulate much damage, but just seems more likely parker gets through any rough patches again and did what he did the first time to edge it on points.
the let it all go early doors approach makes sense for guys who diminish badly over rounds, but in reality very few are willing to adapt that type of high intensity do or die approach. esp at his age such a drastic style change seems unlikely

I think Zhang can and will win the rematch. He threw way more shots against Joyce, - he was I think confused by Parker's feinting, the answer to that, is to jab more, double jab, including to the body, and follow up with the straight left that does so much damage.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑14 Mar 2024, 03:47 zhang's work rate was shocking, i assume due to his limited tank. same thing now vs hrg and parker, clearly he has major power, but he barely even follows up after dropping and hurting guys. nor did he show any urgency or let it all out in the 12th

I think Zhang also thought it was a matter of time before he stopped parker after the 1st knockdown, but forgot that you have to actually throw punches for that to happen.
I am going to have a little punt on Zhang winning by KO.

If Big Bang catches you right with single shots he is going to win
However, as in the last one, I see Parker being able to get through crisis while doing enough in between to win enough rounds.
This time I think Parker will be more defensive, winning a boring decision.
I'd prefer Zhang against AJ or DDD

Parker ,,,,, Well he justs seems to do a lot of things correctly , will he stay out of a quicker Zang , he's young enough ,,, will a quicker Zang land more than a couple of BIG ONES,, don;t know ... Its a fight i would like to see
