It wasnt bunce it was what robert mcracken was saying about AJ's weight he basically said they are still tweaking it and think takam was a bit too heavy but will take a couple lb back off no big deal
But then the herald were like "joshua weight crisis"
He also said that aj is coming into his prime and they want to be agile so he doesnt take too much punishment (over the course of his career)
And the herald were like "aj doesnt wanna take punishment from parker"
Like they just twisted it out of context.
Steve bunce boxing podcast is free from the bbc every week and a good listen btw.
Yeah, I see what you're saying. A shame really.
Question for you: I'm advocating that Parker stay just out of range of AJ's jab, and then do surprise attacks to get inside and try to nail him. I think AJ's "robotic" style is a positive, not a negative. It allows him to have a tight defense and to throw mostly straight punches. The counter to that is to surprise the robot, pop in, land, get out. Fast. Trying to win rounds, or just to outbox him, will lead to Joe getting beaten up. Joe needs to nail him in the first few rounds and get him outta there before AJ gets into his groove.
You know AJ's style well. Do you agree with me?
Yup i think that's the approach I'd take.
Like for me a prime David Haye would have been a horrible style for Joshua and i would gave picked a prime Haye.
If i was training parker id be trying to get as light as possible, i dont think id even bother with weights, just speed work, footwork head movement and mobility.
Parker has the handspeed but his legs have become plodding, they need to fix that and try and get him to move his head.
Diehard, you think AJ to fight tall similar to lennox and klit. throw jabs and if joe looks to get inside, pop him with the right hand?
agree with inferno, hand speed is there but doesn't have the footwork to get himself into range to actually use that hand speed.
Nigs, I think AJ will hunt him down, hit him with a jab, and follow up with his right hand. I don't think he'll fight at range past the 2nd round.
