Should be an amusing fight, Parker didn't want this fight. Think Eddie H offered them too much money to refuse.

With your quote in mind I assume you are referring to to Kiltich and Whytes fights ? If you are did he not get caught by a big right hand on both occasions? That's what I to seem to recall could be wrong.
I think it's fair to say Parker or at least his team wanted the fight, they just wanted to get paid as much as they could for it. Parker's probably going to end up earning as much in this fight as he's earned throughout his career and more importantly, more than he'd earn in 10 defences against anybody other than AJ.

I was basing my opinion on that video of him sat in a diner watching the AJ V Wlad fight. Either way glad to see another heavyweight fight made, looking forward to it.

AJ vs Parker was the likely fight. Parker gets his payday and AJ should get another belt.

Not just that fight. Parker hasn't really impressed in his last 3 fights.
In all honesty though, the fight has been priced wrong by the bookies because of the AJ factor. Parker could be worth a little nibble at 7/1.

That's just the announced fights as well, no doubt we'll get loads more great fights announced as the year progresses. Boxing has had issues in the past but it really is in an excellent state at the moment, there are so many strong weight divisions.

Parker is getting obliterated.

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw the headline!

Dave Jones to be fed to Daniel Dubois on Feb 10th.
I think they did this match-up just to give him someone that might be able to last to the third round

Yeah Spence looked impressive and chopped away at the body nicely. I think Thurman is inured right now so he might run into a couple of mandatory challenges before he fight Spence.
I don't see Thurman beating Spence really. Would be a great fight though.
Have you seen the news/rumours? Andre Ward currently weighs 199Lbs... Minimum heavyweight limit is 200!
I really like Ward and thinks he has nothing left to prove to the sport but if he wants to try and be a RJJ then I'm all for watching him try
What impresses about Thurman is how he manges fights. I think Spence would have his work cut out.
