Pseudonym Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Joseph Parker takes on Jason Pettaway tonight in Manukau. Anyone following this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah pettaway has a good record but I'mNot sure who he has fought. I thought it was disgraceful the circus at the undercard weigh in with that sideshow brown butterbean and the ex Tongan rugby player. How embarrassing for nz pro boxing and it's taken the spotlight off the real event. I thought it was really silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was really silly.So embarassing and even worse the number of people posting it on fb "mean maori mean" etc.Uncivilised bullshit lol rugby players dont go tackling eachother outside of game so dnno why its acceptable for boxers to do this shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreguy Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I suppose boxing will always have the sideshow aspect to it, its all part of it.I actually cant wait to see this fight. Jason Pettaway has attributes that The Brazillian guy didn`t, and will be more formidable opponent, team Parker would've trained accordingly. Â We haven`t seen Joe Parker take a solid counter punch thus far either, both are quick etc etc..all in all should make for one awesome fight. GO PARKER!!

maccaz Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Also Rob Berridge is fighting in a "comeback" fight tomorrow night in Melbourne. Gonna go watch, excited, used to train at robs gym and cant question his work ethic and intensity, always an entertaining fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Parker is either really good or this guy is really shit lol. Pettaway looked completly hopeless, awkward and out of time even when under no pressure from Parker at all. Fight almost looked staged at times, but the guy is 10 years older. These fights of parkers are kind of becoming a joke unfairly matched and one sided.I want to see him fight a top 5 opponent in either of the 3 organisations. ngapuhi strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 ^^ agreed. Was kinda like watching Parker sparring or doing bag work. Definitely impressed by his speed and power though. Maybe Kali Meehan would be a good opponent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Latest is Parker is spending 3 weeks now in Florida as Klitchkos sparring partner.Also Kevin Barry said they want to put Parker in with a shorter fighter next as he hasn't had enough practice against tall rangy guys.You'd think 3 weeks with Wlad would help that, but anyway.
