Great to see a lot of boxing in recent times skip ‘Main Event’ for Fox Sports channels instead. March is the month of heavyweight action and the first is tomorrow arvo. If he puts in a good showing against Crawford, surely he should be getting decent overseas offers for some fights. Was never really that impressed with parker.i think both have stamina issues.
When is Joe Joyce vs. Joseph Parker?
The title fight is likely to go the distance, so the $1.52 for that option is worth including in boxing multis, and we’re also backing Bivol to turn the tables and emerge victorious. The undercard includes Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Barker, Shakur Stevenson vs Josh Padley, and Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov. We have predictions for the major fights on the Saudi Arabia card, which could be the biggest card in 2025.
What were the odds for Parker vs bakole?
Parker is an 8/13 favourite to win the heavyweight contest with late replacement Bakole seen as the outsider at 11/8.
Where is Joe Joyce vs. Joseph Parker?
He was clearly beaten and unable to fight back. No need for him to get any further long term serious brain damage. Of course, Manny was a great champ, but at Usyk vs Parker least Horn had no qualms taking on Crawford, unlike Manny, Crawford wouyld have beat Manny in his prime, no wonder Manny never wanted to take Crawford on…
Good on Whyte getting him out quick, made a statement in the heavyweight division that he is a world level fighter and now looking to challenge for a strap. Have Whyte winning it, just simply outboxing Browne and being the better technical boxer. Browne looks out of shape at the weigh-in and it might hurt him in the later rounds; but always in with a punchers chance. Mate I think when the moneys right and other opportunity’s are exhausted then those fights will happen, thats’ pro boxing in a nutshell.
The curse of the WBA “Regular” Heavyweight title has reared its ugly head again. We had Lucas Browne, Shannon Briggs and now Manuel Charr has tested positive to both Drostanolone and Trenbolone. Knowing what GGG was thinking walking after the fight too.
- Albeit against much lower opposition, Parker has ended the last two by knockout having not done so since 2020.
- Yeah but how many boxing matches have we all watched this year?
- He doesn’t lose decisions…unless it’s Mayweather lmao.
- All the lead-up fights felt and looked genuine.
- On fight night he hydrates to 160s, fighting at 140.
However, he has fought just one round since losing to Tyson Fury for a second time back in October 2021. Meanwhile, Joseph Parker ($5) has fought three times this year alone. Albeit against much lower opposition, Parker has ended the last two by knockout having not done so since 2020. Joshua coming into this one under the guidance of yet another new trainer is somewhat of a concern. His struggles against Usyk as a southpaw should also be considered given Wallin fights with the same stance. Wallin is strong defensively and he’s happy to sit behind the jab and wait to catch his opponent on the counter.
Still, he can take advantage late should the fight last beyond the middling rounds. Miller will look to fight in close which will become more of a feature of the fight the longer it goes. From there he can trouble Dubois and look to throw the punch that ends it. Now 21-0 as a professional including his incredible upset win over Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez back in May 2022, Bivol is a proven expert in hitting without getting hit. He nullified Alvarez; something few have ever been able to do. In his last fight – a comfortable unanimous decision win – Bivol’s opponent, Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, landed just 107 of 878 of his punches thrown.
This guy has never beaten an elite heavyweight,” Hearn said. Wilder is set for his fight in over a year as he takes on former world champ Joseph Parker in the co-main event before Joshua battles Otto Wallin in the main event. Stan Event will begin its broadcast at 3am with the main event fight between Parker and Joyce slated for 7.30am, pending results of earlier fights.
