<p>It's a good opponent for him at this stage of his career. Definitely the 2nd best opponent for him after Takam and should be able to get some rounds in without being troubled too much.</p>

<p>Also good for him to come up against a bloke with a huge reach advantage too, just like the others further down the line in his "journey"</p>
<p>He posesses a goodish jab which should keep Parker's questionable defence but has a very slow right hand and doesn't have a lot of power. Was in a good battle with Pulev before being knocked to the canvas late on with a jab so his chin is also questionable. </p>

Did anyone catch Golokvin vs Brook yesterday? Has to be a contender for fight of the year even though it only went 5 (action packed) rounds

Pretty obvious he was hoping for Parker to be DQ'd.. That guy is a joke.. That wasn't even a hard hit as he was walking away..
The Joshua fight is still no certainty , with the fury klitchko fight 2 now looking like a non event .
Klitchko and Joshua are in negotiations, Parker could get pushed to the background for a bit longer .
That was Pathetic from Dimitrenko who wanted a payday and tried to get a DQ. Having said that, Parker looked a lot better in this fight and is in a good position for a title fight whether it is Joshua, or if the rumours are true, through the WBO if Fury is stripped of his titles (which would be the far more sensible route to go).
