[Boxing- UK] 21.1/ 20:00 J.Parker- J.Massey
This is Parker’s first fight back since his 2022 fight of the year contender against Joe Joyce. Sky Sports have invested a lot in Parker and are looking for him to be one of their marquee names. They’ve chosen Massey specially as he’s naturally a cruiserweight and has a respectable looking record, but they know full well this should be a fight to make Parker look devastating. Parker comes into this 32 pounds heavier than Massey, which is a huge advantage. Massey has never been in with anyone near that big and has only fought cruiserweights. Not only is the weight difference a massive discrepancy but in terms of the clear levels between them, Parker is a former world champion who’s fought the very best of the division, Massey is a British level/maybe European level fighter. Parker has by far the superior hand speed, even being the bigger guy and since he hired Andy Lee as his full time trainer, he seems to pack a bigger punch. Parker can be frustrating sometimes in not being able to finish off opponents however, I think this will be different as he’ll be looking to prove a point and the last time he fought someone as small as Massey, was against Shawndell Winters, who he stopped in 5 rounds. Massey is pretty average all round and has been caught a lot against journeymen. I expect Parker to be too big too strong and stop Massey midway.
