I'll be backing Jo 100% . The odds are stacked against him 60/40 Joshua. JP has a chance to go down in the history books, hope he takes it!
I heard there is going to be more kiwis than brits at the fight
The reason being that brits are scared of kiwis
One bad sign for Parker.
I often find it worrying when a young fighter gets a lot of media attention and suddenly starts spending a lot of time on his "appearance", etc. Parker now seems to think he has to be a 'male model' with his clothing styles.
It often means they have taken their eye off the ball.... This happened with David Tua. (-Hairstyle, etc).
Not good.

wasn't John Parker fighting?
Or is that in the early early prelims

Getting quite intrigued with this fight, an inquisitly wondering why the Parker Camp are so confident?
I just re-watched the AJ/Klitschko fight (got way too much free time). The 5th round where AJ dropped Klit and then Klit came back was a good round, and can definitely see where Team parker see an AJ weakness.
AJ is definitely open to an overhand right and gets overawed with punches in bunches. AJ has immense power and loves to go forward and dominate, but does get tired quickly when throwing a lot of leather.
I can see why Team Parker draw a lot of confidence. Styles make fights and I really do think we could see Joseph taking this.

Thought so too. but Mose A. is fighting from NZ. Also forgot that Povetkin/Price is the main undercard.
Yeah John Parker was supposed to be fighting but perhaps they pulled him from the card as it could of been seen as a distraction for JP ?
