Welcome back, Fai. I'll let Sham know you're still around.
I do think that AJ's style is tailor made for Parker. Doesn't move much. Straight up fighter. Somewhat predictable. But he's so good at what he does, and he'll make Joe pay for his defensive lapses.
Hello Fai my mate glad to see you back. Did you know die thinks JP gunna get a hiding... also AJ is quarter irish...so no bets on samoans this weekend. Im really pleased they let you out for a few days ah mate
Yeah Sham, but I'm always wrong. When me and Mrs Die want the Warriors to win, she always makes me root against them, so they'll win. Comprende?

Parker vs Joshua: Former NZ champion Shane Cameron assesses Joseph Parker's chances

Only days out from the super-fight between Kiwi Joseph Parker and rival Anthony Joshua, all manner of differing predictions have been spouted forth, as everyday sports fans suddenly transform into boxing experts.
One man more qualified than most to offer an opinion is Shane Cameron, the former NZ heavyweight who helped pave the way for Parker's transition from promising young fighter to professional.
"I've done a bit of sparring with Joseph [Parker] and he made his pro debut at my fight night, when I fought Monte Barrett," Cameron told Newshub. "He had a good win that night and that was the start of his pro career."
It was a quick night at the office for the then-20-year-old, who starched compatriot Dean Garmonsway at the Sky City Theatre, with a second-round TKO to emphatically announce his arrival.
"His speed was just a stand-out back then, more than anything else," said fighter-turned-promoter Cameron. "He only turned pro about six years ago.
"That's massive, it took me 10 years as a pro to fight for a world title. He's come leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
"I have to give credit to Duco for capturing him and putting him on the right pathway, giving him massive opportunities and matching him right."
That speed gives Parker his biggest advantage over Joshua, the unbeaten English phenomenon, who's taken the boxing world by storm.
Plenty has been said about the Briton's power, but Cameron believes it's been somewhat overstated since his knockout win over previously immovable Russian Wladimir Klitschko.
"It's pushing power - it's not devastating power. He's big and he's strong, but he's not that fast.
"What's lethal is someone who's fast and has plenty of power behind him. Joshua, he's powerful, but he doesn't put people to sleep.
"I've heard from the boys sparring him, like Junior Fa, that he's so strong, when he jabs you, you fall backwards, which means he's pushing his power instead of snapping it."
Parker vs Joshua: Former NZ champion Shane Cameron assesses Joseph Parker's chances
When it comes to who combines those two factors the most effectively, Cameron gives the edge to the Kiwi.
"Parker's more polished in some ways. He moves well, he's got great balance.
"He can't really try to manhandle [Joshua] - he needs to get in and out, and deliver his punches. If [Joshua's] a bit uneasy on the inside, grab hold of him and let him feel your strength too."
Cameron rounded out his own professional career back in 2014, after accumulating an impressive pro record of 29-5. With 22 knockouts to his name, the Waiuku product delivered plenty of finishing blows through his 12-year career.
Now the proud owner of North Shore-based Shane Cameron Fitness, the 40-year-old has complete faith that his fellow South Aucklander won't be fazed by the bright lights of boxing's biggest stage.
"I don't think he'll be intimidated by it. I know people who would be, but not him.
"He's a cool relaxed sort of dude, always smiling when he's walking to the ring.
"One thing I know with him, he's a tough bugger - he doesn't mind digging deep and putting his kahunas on the line. He'll do whatever it takes."
Whatever the result, Cameron doesn't see Parker sticking around the heavyweight scene for long, insisting the 26-year-old is here for a good time, rather than a long time.
"There have been a couple of things mentioned, talking about early retirement.
"I'm like 'man, you're in your prime, you're just getting going'. He wants to be retired by the time he's 30.
"But hey, if you're getting paid those sorts of pay-cheques, you can do that, can't you?
"I wanted to do that too. Some guys talking about getting brain damage, I reckon I got brainier as my fights went on."
So, is the Kiwi capable of shocking the sporting world and overcoming the prodigious former Olympic champion in Cardiff? Cameron offers a cautious response.
"I've always said it's going to be a hard night for Joseph. He's not fighting in New Zealand, so if it goes the distance, he's up against it all in all aspects."
Eventually, the heart rules out.
"Can he win this fight? Of course he can, but he has to dig deep and find everything that he can, and everything has to peak on that night.
"He's up against it, but I'm not going to rule him out, as long as he has a good fight plan, uses the ring well and doesn't stay in front of [Joshua].
"Like I always say to young fighters, it's a simple sport. You do the basics right and the smartest person wins the fight, not the guys with the biggest muscles and best abs.
"Unless you get caught by a bloody, big sledgehammer left-hook from David Tua."

Hey sham was wondering how Mose aumatagi got his chance to fight under card he's my sons school friend I didn't believe it when my son told me until I saw Moses interview on u tube today, Higgins twin brother got him over there, another Samoan uso lol, regarding Parker going into this fight he needs the heart of mark hunt, I hear mark will be side ring ?
03-30-2018, 12:51 PM
I don't know how he got his chance but he's obviously in the mix as I heard he was going to fight on the Parker v Fury undercard but it fell through late in the piece.
Great opportunity but I feel a little sorry for him about whether it comes at the right time. Been out of the ring for almost a year and this should be his toughest test so hopefully he's has some quality sparring.
Cameron Jones is 12-0 against guys with most losing records but a lot of people over in the UK seem to rate him very highly.
I'd love to see Mose win coes he is a Kiwi fighter but he also has a lot of talent. I'd actually heard he was going up because he had filled out and up and was struggling to make super middle but maybe that was off the mark.
Appreciate most people on here will be watching the card but worth spreading the word for anyone who is not that Mose's fight will be live on the Matchroom Boxing Facebook page as one of the first fights of the night
