@kiwiinmelb it's the complete lack of discipline that I see. letting himself go so badly and already lacking the athletic physique. His voice has gone and he looked like a 50yo man for about 2 years.

Yeah Ricky Hatton used to do the same , let himself go completely in between fights ,

seems so unprofessional , and just bloody hard work to shed the weight again , makes no sense ,

But he isnt looking too bad now , will be interesting to see how he goes .

Hatton looks like absolute hammered shit these days but again, was ripped as fuck for fights.

Fury must have a decent metabolism cos he was looking like Jabba the Hutt when he did a haka with JP not too long ago.

I ran into Ricky Hatton in a bar in thailand a few months back , he was sitting there getting shit faced by himself , totally out of shape and looking nothing like an ex world champ ,

Pandoras Bar , Soi 7 Pattaya to be exact ,

Had a couple of beers with him , he had no idea who I was , but seemed to enjoy having a chat , talking absolute shit, funny bastard he was

Christ I would ( depending on the respective breakfast/beer quality )

I'm a 52 year old man and he looks years older than me thank you very much

Solely going by that weigh in picture, which one of those two would you pick as a boxer?

AJ surely has some athletic skills to get where he has, and maybe he just breaks the mould, but look at JP in comparison. Thicker core, more 'padding' to take shots, a thick neck.

If Joe got his tan on you'd see far less difference imo. Joe doesn't have quite the bulk but he's pretty close in terms of body fat I reckon. Joshua looks far more like a gym rat, especially with his headphone and visible undies.

cant remember who i was listening to, but was some boxing pundit and he was saying up close JP has a much bigger head than AJ as well...

The most significant difference for me is AJs 6 inch reach advantage , particularly how he likes to throw that right from full extension

Parker looks quite a bit more underdone in the chest area Paeks. Is the the only bloke on earth who doesn't work chest?

Much easier to hit

@mikethesnow well you'd think, but not what he was implying...?

@mn5 yeah Joshua looks more bodybuilder-like . But Joe looks sharp too imo. Has Joshua ever talked about any training he did in the big house? Hopefully too much weights, not enuf speedwork!!

Who has paid to watch this fight, or is watching it somewhere? I would like to but will be on the road at that time.

@bovidae Can't persuade the missus this is worth forking out for on her birthday :astonished_face: so we might rock up to the local pub to watch instead. Most of the locals in the UK are showing it thankfully, coverage has finally been amped up this week.

Looking to watch it at home with the missus.

Any idea what time the main fight is?

Was at the last fight and it seemed to be all done and dusted by 11

In NZ it has been advertised that the main event will not start before 8:30am - so approx 3:30 from now.

I've heard 8.45. Heading to the old mans shperly to watch. He'd better have the jug on !

@mn5 daylight savings 8.45 or after the clocks go back 8.45?

Undercard average so far

@MiketheSnow 10:30 we've found. Watching round at the bro in laws.

anyone in position to share some... umm ... info? slide into my DMs yo

Coverage here in aus started at 4am , early start ,

Feeling nervous , really want Joe to do well , but not too confident unfortunately ,

Hope they have a good fight plan , we have been hearing about AJs weaknesses they want to exploit ,

its time to execute .

Almost as confusing as your/you're

Someone started drinking early

Povetkin , probably flies under the radar , gold medalist, lost one fight to Klitschko, knocked out takam

So there's one more fight before the main card?

Main and final undercard fight over. Povetkin winning in a pretty brutal fights. KO in 5th after both going down in 2nd or 3rd

Main event prob 930 now

Yep price went down like a sack of shit. So brutal watching it in slow mo. Good on him for getting his own knockdown though. You knew that one wouldn't go the distance.

Povetkin 34-1. One loss to Kiltchko is certainly no disgrace. Great record.

Stream sorted oops I mean I paid the $49.99 for the legal right to watch the fight

Hoping JP will keep up and put on a decent fight.

My go to site just bombed, luckily i managed to find another

Whenever I see this ring announcer, the first thing that comes to mind is when he was on Sports Cafe and got really angry at Mark Ellis.

@pn can you send me the link via pm

forgive my ignorance, but why would they do a haka if they have a Manu Samoa flag? Shouldnt it be the Siva Tau?

@dk said in Parker v ??:

@pn can you send me the link via pm

shot it through to both of you

Imagine boxing in front of 80k people! That is a HUGE fucking crowd. Well done Joe and co, irrespective of the outcome you've made it to the big leagues.
