    The disappointing thing for me , and I’ve been a critic in the past, but everything was aligning for him and coming together nicely, and I honestly believe Joe was in his prime condition to pinch this .

        Parker fight coming right up.

        Winston Peters in the crowd right next to Frank Warren. Outstanding

          Bakole coming in at 140kg. Not exactly nimble but potentially very dangerous

            Wow.

            Strange finish ! Parker with a big overhand right and Bakole with a delay in falling down.

            2nd round KO victory for our boy. Super stuff.

                  Parker far too good for his opponent tonight. I hope he gets a shot at Usyk soon.

                    Parker said in the interviews afterwards that he'd fight anyone and I believe it.

                    Very dodgy if what you say is accurate.

                            Despite not being the best boxer in his family he still had a magnificent career.

                            If he has a serious fight who knows ?

                            If he has a ‘don’t knock out Jake Paul or you won’t get paid’ fight then he’s no chance

                            hard to imagine it going super well , when Fury and AJ beat him , people defending him said but Klitschko was well past his best

                            that was 10 years ago.

                            If it helps, they might now be well past their best as well. And both brothers have PhDs in sports science so he might have managed to keep himself in reasonable condition.

                            I see it differently, they were too young and hungry for him 10 years ago and now they aren’t the top of the pecking order anymore because they have aged as well , just shows how long ago his best was

                            Maybe a fury Klitschko rematch would generate some interest and make them a lot of money but I’d be keeping him away from the next generation of younger big hitting hungry heavyweights.

                            Yeah I agree with you, it isn't worth it. Just saying they should be in ok condition even if they don't retain the power that Foreman retained.

                              Joe finding out it’s bakole

                              How can you not like Parker ?

                              Great guy, lets hope he does the business.

                              In terms of Bakole 22-1 is a very good record, not exactly littered with huge names to be fair.

                              Worth noting he knocked out Carlos Taken who Parker could only get a decision against, then again that was "young" Parker who has improved out of sight since then.

                              Fairly sure that's their only common opponent ?

                                Up there with the time I predicted on here that Tua would knock out Cameron in the 2nd.

                                        Let's be honest, Parker should have put away Bakole who only just turned up to Saudi a few hours before the fight. I didn't realise that Bakole literally got dragged off the couch.

                                        Dubois can have Usyk again, Parker can fight Kabayel.

                                          Parker fight coming right up.

                                          Winston Peters in the crowd right next to Frank Warren. Outstanding
