Matty P yeah he's worked for barkers for over 20 years!

Barkers has really good product imo, and im not just saying that because i work there.

I think itll be about 2"

Parker is 6'4 aj is 6'6 i think those are correct heights. Problem range wise is parker has short arms while aj has long arms plus height.

BUT thatll be to parkers advantage up close

Izu's reach is significantly longer than AJ's. 207cm to 213cm, or something like that. So he's used to sparring guys with longer reaches. Parker's problem will be both getting inside that reach AND not getting hit with AJ's power. AND, I think AJ has the tighter defense. To win, Parker needs to stay off the line of attack, fight from angles, and improve his footwork to get inside and let his hands go.

Take Izu's stats with a grain of salt. He was listed at 6'5, he isn't, he's probably 6'3 or 6'4. He does have good reach but I can't see it being any longer than AJs.

Well, Parker said he was shorter than Izu when Parker was 6'4.  At some point a couple of years ago, he said that he finally caught up with Izu.  Which tells me Izu IS probably 6'5."  Why do you think he's shorter?

The reach I don't know about.  Taking boxrec's word on it for both Izu and AJ.

In my opinion, Joshua only looked a little bit shorter than Brezeale where Izu looked considerably shorter

I know thats not exactly scientific but to me suggests more than 1" between supposed 6'5 izu and 6'6 aj

Jo and Izu are the same height. Remember when Izu was kick boxing he was 6,3 -6,4. Only when KB got hold of him said Izu was 6,5. What a load of shit lol. He same height as jo

Anyone else notice David Price vs Povetkin is probably going to be on this card...

Excellent. Last roll of the dice for Price. The PPV will be expensive. Let's hope it's loaded with good undercards!
