    Who has seen the guy. He looks kinda promising for his age. Needs to close some defensive holes of course but with that current state of the heavy we.... boa boa snooze...

    one for the post Klitschko era?

    This is him vs. old Kali Meehan:

    I have seen him a couple of times. He seems to have a nice attitude as a fighter, he attacks hard and wants to punish his opponents. I am not sure how far that will carry him though, he has gone rounds with guys he should have been able to blast out with that style of his. With his crisp punching and exciting style he could cause some interesting moments but I wouldn't pick him over anyone in top-10 as of yet

    Who did he went too many rounds with? Don't forget he is 23 and his power is still developing. It is excusable if he went some rounds when he was 20 or 21. He ain't Hughie Fury like he has 14 KOs in 16 fights.

    He went seven with Brian Minto last year (whom Dillion Whyte beat in three last month), he went to fourth with Irineau Beato Costa Junior (a god-awful fatso who lost in first to Whyte and in second to Boytsov) and full rounds against Sherman Williams (who admittedly is near-impossible to KO but to me Parker didn't impress there). These don't necessarily mean much of course snce as you said he is a young lad but I am not sold for him just yet

    Has potential. They're bringing him up slowly, developing his fundamentals. One to watch for sure, but needs to get out of the region and head to the US to get the best attention.
