I just dont like the prep so far for this fight.

I know theres people who wont hear a bad word about JP but to me he's porked out over xmas, he looks very bloated in thr face and hes got a nice tailored suit but I'm betting he's not in the best of shape.

He's just got off a 30 hour flight, tomorrow he's got a 14 hour flight to vegas then another one back in a few weeks. Why not train at David Hayes gym?

In the meantimes joshua is already looking leaner than his last couple of fights and isn't going to have to waste the first few weeks of camp doing "fat camp"

Here's the entire press conference. Parker looked great in the stare down. Both fighters were gentlemen.

What??? Do you mean???

I thought JP looked very confident, even in the stare down, I was pretty impressed.
He does look pretty beefy though, hope the weight loss doesn't affect training.

just wondering how one looks great in a stare down that's all.

Well, in a stare down, it's important to look your opponent in the eye without blinking.  It's important not to shake and look nervous.  Also important not to look away first.  Also important not to push or get in your opponents face less than an one cm.  Hey Nigs, this is Stare Down 101, everyone knows this. Oh, it's also good not to sweat too much.

Just to add a couple of things about the press conference: At the stare down, JP looked almost as tall as AJ, maybe an inch difference. Tyson Fury won the fight with Klit at the press conference. He completely mentally deranged Klit, before getting deranged himself.

I agree on heights
The diff still is reach AJ has massive length
pissing me off how negative towards Parker a lot of Kiwis are getting (other sites)
So parker and Higgins are talking themselves up... its normal in other countries
GO JP Im behind u - great to have a Kiwi up there. may the best champ win
