Title: Joshua vs Parker fight
Post by: Kiwifruit on Monday, 26 March 2018, 05:00 PM
This weekend is a big weekend for NZ boxing as Joseph Parker takes on  Anthony Joshua for the title of World Heavyweight Champion. Its being held in the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. Story on the news tonight seems to have the Welsh lads backing the Kiwi. Good on ya! Should be a good fight.  Joshua is the favourite but also has the most to lose.
Any of you Welsh blokes going ?

Not going but can  hear the stadium from my back garden - unless they have the roof shut which is likely as it makes the atmosphere awesome - good luck to Joseph  :)

Was called the millennium when it was built but in the modern world of sponsorship Its been renamed the Principality stadium after Wales only building society   :)

There is talk of an 80,000 crowd. So must be busy in Cardiff.
Would be huge for NZ if Parker won. Im hoping, but Joshua has big fight experience on his side. Still one punch can upset the bookies
Go Joe !!  :box:

I havn't seen the fight. But some commentators are saying Parker just didnt have the reach. Did anyone ever tell Tyson his reach wasn't so good ?
At least l dont hear Parker making excuses, sounds like said he was beaten by a better boxer. Good on ya Joe.

Joshua's jab kept Parker at bay... just didn't give him any chance to really get in close and mix it up.  Good tactical fight from Joshua.... Parker magnanimous in defeat - class act  :onya:
