RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-10-2015 Yep, and Browne is a top 5 fighter in an alphabet or two. Great opposition. RE: Joseph Parker - Dannyboy - 08-10-2015 A really good fight in Meehan for JP, and a really good fight for Browne in Julius Long. Be interesting to see how Browne goes with such a tall fighter. Long, while has average skills he is an awkward fighter at best. Browne is a fast starter who doesn't go the distance often. He's been 12 rounds 3 times against durable fighters. Be a good workout for Browne, whom should win this unanimously over the distance. RE: Joseph Parker - NakiFan - 08-10-2015 Do you guys think Browne will ever jump in the ring with Joseph? With what I have read, Browne is constantly calling out Fury and Wilder for a crack, so I can only assume that unless a BIG wad of cash gets waved in front of the man, he'll protect his record and head directly for a chance at a title. I have just proof read this and it looks like I may have answered my own question.... RE: Joseph Parker - shamrock - 08-10-2015 I don't think Browne is scared of Parker like lonergan and diehard have previously mentioned, it doesn't mean anything to him to make the fight. Parker is just beginning to make credible fights and it's not his fault Tupou caved earlier than expected by a fluke shot, Parker is beginning to catch some attention in the fraternity and he needs all of that to attract credible opponents like Browne. RE: Joseph Parker - gothenaki - 08-10-2015 Browne's definitely going for a paper ("WBA Regular") title, but it's the classic boxer story of a protected fighter who never made any money on the way, because he gets told what to do by his promoters (who aren't good at making him money) and he's fought crap fighters. That being said - it's pretty amazing he's getting any kind of shot considering who he's fought - so that's another way of looking at it. You could say Hatton has done well to get him a shot considering how limited he is. I'm sure I saw him say somewhere recently, that he hasn't yet had a good payday ($50k+). When his last fight was 9 months ago - that's gotta hurt Joseph was saying how he paid off his parents mortgage and bought a nice car They are both heading for a title shot in completely different ways. He'll agree to fight Joseph after he loses to Chagaev, but then of course he's not worth as much, and I get the feeling Duco are ruthless about things like that. "We offered you $X00,000 but you turned us down. Now that you've lost it's $X0,000" I hear that Team Parker wanted to fight Leapai, but even after losing to Charr, he's still asking too much I wish Browne all the best, but I think Chagaev will smash him. Hasn't had a tough fight against a southpaw, not even a tough enough fight - full stop. His best win (Rudenko) had fought nobody and clearly lost to a very unpolished 20yr old Hughie Fury. I don't think Browne's record even stacks up against Parkers Just my opinion lol RE: Joseph Parker - gothenaki - 08-11-2015 Good write up http://www.boxingscene.com/joseph-parker-tabs-meehan-perfect-foe-test-skills--94495 Also explains the "skip punch" for you Die RE: Joseph Parker - cranky - 08-11-2015 (07-19-2015, 04:21 AM)cranky Wrote: I was checking out the WBC rankings to try figure how high Teper is gonna fly with that KO2 of Price. They were 29th and 30th ranked with WBC respectively. ...as suspected- Teper made it to #11. Parker moved up 3 places to #18. http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/index.php/ratings?layout=edit&id=139 RE: Joseph Parker - shamrock - 08-11-2015 (08-11-2015, 12:15 AM)gothenaki Wrote: Good write up That's a very good writeup Gothenaki the same as yr earlier analysis. I stil regard the ko if tupou as a fluke, they may have trained to punch that way but that ko on top of the head was a fluke in my opine. Nobody trains to hit a guy on the top of the head. RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-11-2015 I'm playing Sham. It was not only a fluke but bogus. It's just that no one believes me. How can I convince anyone that it was bogus when respected observers a metre away swear he was out cold? But no way you can KO a guy like that. Hence, the infamous Skip Punch. RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-11-2015 Heavyweight star Joseph Parker has lauded his upbringing as key to his success as the 23-year-old prepares to welcome Kali Meehan to Auckland in October. It may have taken barely a minute for Joseph Parker to topple Bowie Tupou in Invercargill recently, but the ensuing hype surrounding the rising star of New Zealand boxing is somewhat longer in the making. The 23-year-old combines being a formidable force in the ring with being humble and mild-mannered away from it - a habit that's stuck since a young age and one that he won't be shaking off any time soon. Joseph Parker says he's excited about the prospect of squaring off against experienced pro Kali Meehan in October. "My parents taught me good standards and I feel like I'm taking it to the boxing realm. My mum said when I was younger, 'son, when you win a fight, don't lift your hands up because that's the ref's job to lift your hands up'." Parker took part in a series of exhibition bouts in Auckland on Monday as he welcomed the likes of sports broadcaster Hayley Holt and comedian Guy Williams into the ring. Whether he was posing patiently for selfies with the adoring few that had gathered at Takutai Square or showing Holt how to tie her gloves properly, his bright smile and polite manners never faded. "I think the boxing game is supposed to be a gentleman's sport. You've got to be humble, you've got to be nice to everyone. But when you're in the ring, that's the time to let your fists do the talking and that's the time for action." That was certainly the case on August 1, when Parker dealt with the challenge of Tongan-born heavyweight Tupou before the fight had barely started. Courtesy of an incisive knock-out blow, the win lifted Parker's professional record to 15-0 but the aftermath has been overshadowed by allegations that his opponent took a dive. After celebrating a flawless - albeit brief - fight by spending a few days in Queenstown with his family last week, Parker admits the controversy removed some of the shine from an important victory. "A lot of people don't really understand boxing. We prepared for 12 rounds and I was ready to go 12 rounds. Our coach said the punch that you're going to get him with is the punch he's not going to expect. So when he came in for a big punch I threw one back and it sort of countered him," Parker said. "So I know a lot of people said he took a dive but, for me, with a Tongan and a Samoan, why would someone take a dive? [We're] proud people that would never do anything to sort of disrespect their country like that, so I don't really think about it. I know that everything we did was done in the right way. You know, I won, and I trained hard for it. I'm happy, my team's happy, and we're ready for the next challenge." That challenge comes in the shape of veteran heavyweight Meehan on October 15. Not only is the Australian-based Kiwi 22 years Parker's senior but edges him in the height department by an inch. "I'm pretty excited for this new fight…with different opponents we need to bring in [different] sparring partners to practice, we need to work on different combinations to try and approach the style that he brings. With his height he's got long arms. I've seen a lot of his fights, he likes to throw a big bomb - big bombs that are straight punches, which is pretty powerful so that's something to look out for," Parker said. "We gave him a lot of time to prepare, so both of us have got no excuses when we get in the ring. But what is going to give him an advantage, I think, is experience. He's been in the game for a long time." Meehan comes into the fight boasting a 42-5 record so there is no doubting the size of the task that awaits the popular Parker when he returns from training in Las Vegas in two months' time. The clash takes place at Auckland's Trusts Arena and although both fighters are Auckland-born, any sense of hometown advantage will be felt more firmly in Parker's corner. "Bringing it back to Auckland, it's always great to come back and fight in front of my home town. I know there's a lot of support. It's a humbling feeling knowing there's a lot of support here in New Zealand. It makes me train harder and motivates me to keep pushing to represent our country and make us proud," Parker said. - Stuff |
