From Blob to the belt? The Parker path to the USYK title faced criticism

Joseph Parker and his team want a title against champion Unified Three-Belt, Oleksandr Usyk, after their victory with direct elimination of the second round, on Martin Bakole, largely outside 315 LB, last Saturday on the site in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia .

Boxing fans on social networks are Not interested Seeing Parker challenge WBA, WBC and the heavy goods vehicle champion WBO usyk then for his title. They consider this as a much less interesting match for the Usyk than to see him face the IBF champion Daniel Dubois, in a revenge match for the undisputed championship. This fight has much more sense.

No case for Usyk

Parker (36-3, 24 KB) has not proven itself worthy of a world title against Ushk or even Dubois because its last three fights have all had asterisks next to them because of its advanced age and of his opponents out of shape.

The last three victories of Parker:

– Martin Bakole: not trained blob of 315 lb
– Zhilei Zhang: 291 lb and 41 years old
– DEONTAY WILDER: 1-3 record entering the fight

Parker must fight Bakole in a revenge match after crossing a full camp of 10 weeks and losing more than 40 pounds to reach a reasonable weight. It would be the right thing. An alternative would be for Parker to fight acts Kabayel. The winner obtains a shot on the title and is recovering online.

Bakole (21-2, 16 kos) arrived in two days notice and was flattened by a right hand of Parker in the second round of this disappointing eruption in the main support fight on the Artur Beterbiev card against Dmitry Bivol 2. These Two fights failed to provide the excitement that had been expected during the construction of the Saturday event.

“It would be great to fight Dubois or Usyk. We will see what they have planned, ”Joseph Parker told Fight Hub TV When he was asked who he wanted to fight afterwards after his victory over Martin Bakole last Saturday evening in Riyadh.

“USYK,” said coach Andy Lee on the trampling field on whom he then wants for his fighter Parker. “Joe Bat (Usyk). Joe is faster and we have obtained power. Joe can match it and he is younger and cooler. Joe can match it to all points of view. Trust me. You may not believe me, but believe me.

“Martin Bakole was considered one of the best. No one (did not want to fight it). Joe did, and looks at what he did, “said Parker manager Spencer Brown, making a great production on Joseph’s victory over an obese Bakole of 315 lb. “Okay, it might have been a few books (more than 40 pounds to be exact), but that’s what he did.”
