Joseph Parker - Young man going places.

[kiwiinmelb]

its a pretty smart fight for Joseph ,

one that should generate interest and money , and lower risk than other options out there

[kidcalder]

David Price is now not an option he was KO'd last night so if JP gets past Hughie he could now go straight into a fight with AJ in the UK (If AJ beats Klit).
I liked the thought of JP taking on Price after Hughie as a gateway to UK - but even the brits would have no interest in that now.

[Crucial]

After Bellew smacked Haye's big mouth all over the ring there is now talk of Bellew being a possible opponent for JP.
It would be a good one for JP to get an offshore win. Bellew is a welterweight and even Haye was tagging him easily until an achilles injury from a slip meant that the tit for tit punching went in Bellews favour.
JP would eat him easily.

From what I can gather Bellew came up from cruiserweight for just the one fight ,

And now they are surprised they have had offers from Parker and Wilder , and are thinking it through ,

His previous intentions were to unify the cruiserweight division which would be the smarter move for him , he is a natural cruiserweight ,

I guess he will be waiting to see what money is on offer first .

Parker shouldn't be going after guys like this. What really does he have to gain?

Focus on beating fury and then a showdown with wilder

[kiwiinmelb]

Money, probably

they are thinking after the fight on the weekend , it could be a big PPV audience by his standards ,

[African Monkey]

This Bellew victory is doing more harm than good to the HW division. No-one in the HW division gains anything by facing him but no doubt Wilder and his team will go hard and try and face him as he likes to avoid any top 10 HW.

[Bovidae]

Bellew broke his right hand in the fight too, either in the 2nd or 3rd round.

It appears that retirement is also an option for him.

[MajorRage]

So it's been announced that Parker will have his first defence at home, fighting Fury.

That is one hell of a first defence, and I'm shocked that Fury would even be interested. At least I was until I read the article and realised that the Parker to fight Fury at home headline is a perhaps a little misleading to the majority of the public.

We aren't talking Tyson here.

[kiwiinmelb]

Id be concerned if it was Tyson ,

Hughie is a much more predictable proposition , which should suit Joe at this point in time .

@mikedogz I don't know how far-reaching these videos he's making are, but he's a character. This shit endears people to you. I knew there was more to him than what HIggins and Lonegan(formerly) were letting him show.
