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.
