Joseph Parker - Boxing Career Resurrection 

I admire Parker for staying strong keeping his career alive by being active against heavy punchers.

Parker's resilience really is something to be admired. Never gave up on himself and the climbed the ladder the hard way. Parker will always have my respect, win lose or draw

What I like about Rummy versus the Talking Heads and Columnists for the entertainment and sports programming network(s), is that he doesn't try to ignore and sweep his past wrong opinions under the rug. He owns and Highlights them, and even uses them to strengthen his current arguments. Thank you Rummy. You have a talent that is refreshing to hear - especially in today's toxic media environment. We appreciate you!

Joseph Parker, and to an extent, AJ, at the same time, has both proven that it IS possible to bounce back from defeat. All you need is determination, desire, commitment, and, most importantly, activity. I see both men becoming world champions again.

Parker is the definition of fighters fight everybody, anywhere, and any time

Have to give all credit to Parker for being so active, and especially the back to back fights against Wilder and Zhang. Back to back fights against big punchers. That gets respect.

Parker deserves all the spotlight and superstardom he has been getting lately. What a hard worker and resilient man to turn his career around like that

I feel his mentality is his main improvement recently, going from looking uninterested in the Joshua fight to battling back against Zhang is mad impressive. Great work as always btw

Another great vid Rummy. I've always felt Parker would get better as time went on. A rematch with Ruiz or Joshua would be cool!

The best thing is Joes handspeed is back, it hasn't been there for a wee while. The one two combinations he was landing against Zhang in the later rounds reminded me of when was knocking out everyone is NZ. Lightening quick at times.

Parker is the most underrated heavyweight of his era. He would have always beat Wilder imo.

New Zealand and Samoa are proud to have this guy representing them

A true rocky story. Parker is testament to never giving up and overcoming any obstacle in your way. A true warrior and a huge heart . Will fight anyone anytime a throwback real boxer who gives the fans what they want 💯 the king is back 🔥

Great boxer!!!

Excellent work, Rummy!

I'm with you, all credit should go to Parker!

Joseph Parker is amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Parker deserves all the credit for what he's done. Styles make fights but you can make adjustments.. which Parker has done.

Absolutely facts Parker’s movements an faints stunlocked opposition

Parker's mentality toughness to comeback again and again despite the setback and build up all again is most admirable. He has gotten back through hard work and self belief. He has earned a title shot, before AJ in my opinion

Great analysis like always

Rummy, I've been a subscriber to yours since the early days. Never been disappointed with your videos. A true boxing channel!

I want a Parker / Ruiz Jr rematch. That fight was a great fight. Rummy I still wish you'd make a video about the poor state of USA Heavyweight Boxing.

Rummy as far as I’m concerned you are Quasimodo and your boxing films keep me going on these cold 🥶 nights here in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥊❤️

💯. Always a talented and athletic individual who couldn’t quite show that to its absolute potential. He’s doing that now, and under the guidance of head trainer Andy Lee and nutritionist and conditioning coach George Lockhart we are starting to see the best of the now mature Joseph Parker. More to come and this from a man who is still only 32 with a fight resume 2nd to none! Good analysis Rummy with educated opinion!

Thanks Rummy!

It's good to see Americans start to appreciate and respect Parker like we do over here in the UK.

Parker has a complete resume. Not much in the division he has not faced. Well said Rummy, Parker has shown why this era of heavyweights is special. No one is looking invincible.

Parker is so focused and motivated. George Lockhart the strength and conditioning coach on the plane to NZ already. George is nutritionist too.He will get Parker in top shape for the rematch. No stone will be left unturned.

Joseph Parker is at the very peak of his career now! More then when he was the WBO world HW champion 2016-2018. He was not universally recognised yet and despite having one of the four major belts, he was not regarded as a major player = something he also was well aware of, or he would never have accepted the unification bout against Joshua. So by defeated back-to-back two elite level HS, with one former WBC world champion in Deontay Wilder and then defeating the WBO Interim HW champion Zhilei Zhang, in two fights the majority of fans and experts picked him to lose (!). I was on the other hand betting on Parker both times as I had the feeling if he fought Wilder in a dog-fight and in the processtook his right hand away he would win = what he also did! Against Zhang would be more difficult, as I knew like evreybody else that a big powerfull south-paw with an iron-chin would be very difficult. But age and gas milage was the answer so if Parker came in great condition and had worked in moving around a lot and fight in short bursts, that could be enough to steal a decision as long he would not be clocked to much. And even as Parker was twice down, his spirit was string and his dtermination combined with the suggested tactics worked (again). So even if I am not a mastermind by far, I'm still glad for my own analyzes of boxers worked. Sure you can't get them all but that is what I like with Parker, he can adapt very well when needed like he prooved TWICE! Why I say Joseph Parker have "peaked" is solely based on that even if I believe he wins the rematch, I like majority doubts with good reasons he can get past either Anthony Joshua in a rematch or Oleksandr Usyk! Arguably he can defeat Tyson Fury, but that would be it unless he decides to go down a paper title holder's road and fight for a possible (hope not though) vacant WBO title and then cherry pick opponents, but that will not gain the fans respect like he have well earned now!

The thing I dislike most about boxing has got to be how quick fans are to turn on a fighter after just one bad performance. Instead of recognizing everyone has off days or moments where opponents simply outmatch us we instead choose ridicule calling someone names likes 'overrated'. This culture needs changing since double standard exists between what these same followers expect from themselves yet demand perfection uniquely upon athletes whose shoes they can not walk in physically nor mentally alike! This why I appreciate you keeping it a bean, Rummy.

Another great video thanks

Excellent video. Most of us thought he would lose against his last two opponents. I really appreciate your observations about Parker's adjustments rather than the lazy assertion that he only won because his opponents are old (or whatever). Great job!

i used to watch rummy's videos almost 10 years back, great videos as always..

Excellent Episode 👍😁

Definitely he's improve nice video as always. Taiwo watching from Nigeria🇳🇬 👍🏾

Rummy I love your accent and insight into boxing always informative and knowledgeable about boxing.

That was brilliant. I love to be in your corner 💕

Great video Rummy. I appreciate it.

Absolutely spot on. Giving credit where credit is due.

Wow, I’m first. Great work, Rummy! Love your vids!

Tony's face at the end of that clip will never not make me laugh. Great video Rummy

I sincerely appreciate this channel looking at not just the Championship Bouts and top 1,2,3 guys but also other notables like now that makes me informed of the other guys that's around the corner knocking big doors itching for the top spot!!!

The best thing about Parker's comeback (and entire career) is that he can make his mark in an era or giants. Parkers upper body is small he's tiny in comparison to other heavyweights. But he still manages to compete and win against them (AJ, Whyte, Joyce, Wilder, Zhang). It's truly an underdog story.

Joseph Parker is the epitome of a true warrior!

Excellent video, Rummy. My favorite boxing page on RU-vid.

Best in the business Geoffrey

best boxing channel on youtube

I think Parker probably has one of the best resumes among active heavyweights right now. No fear, no drama. Good stuff

Dearest Rummy. We extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering love and support towards one of Samoa and New Zealand's most cherished sons in the realm of boxing. Your heartfelt reviews of our sons Joseph Parker and Jai Opetaia has resonated profoundly within our communities, and we are genuinely thankful for your sincere acknowledgment. On behalf of our people, we express our sincerest appreciation to you, Rummy. Your generosity and advocacy will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we are indebted to you for your kindness. Furthermore, we wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to Andy Lee, Tyson Fury and Teams, individuals whose contributions have also been monumental in nurturing the talents of our nation's sons. His dedication and commitment are truly commendable, and he is revered as a king in our hearts. With warm regards and deepest appreciation from the Island Paradise of Samoa

Parker arguable deserves to become a world champion again the most. One of the best in the game right now whom I think will be held in higher regard by the wider public in years to come.

Best, most insightful, most honest and most authentic RU-vid boxing channel out there, in my opinion (which ain’t worth that much). Thank you 🙏🏾

another gem, thank you Rummy

Joe Parker is the definition of “I’ll fight anybody” respect to him

I enjoyed your assessment of boxing free flow without emotions. Andy Lee & Parker deserves a lot of credit. 👍

The people who have suprised us most in heavyweight this year are both most active top flight heavyweights, I don't think that is a coincidence. We need more boxers to have the number of fights they are having, just like in the past. I think a great example is how of course with a good trainer we are seeing parker develop a unique style, something that was so common in the past even when it was a guy woth 70 wins and 50 loses they would come in with a specific style you have to defeat. Nowadays there are a just a few styles that are prevalent.

It shows how important activity is Rummy, other heavyweights can learn a thing from Parker and AJ

Great video. Parker is showing what activity and a new trainer go do for a career. I hope the days of boxers who fights once a year are over.

We love you Rummy. Great work once again!

Good reminder of how important a trainer is.

Brilliant video, thank you

Good stuff Rummy. You are undisputed when it comes to yt boxing channels 👍

Well said been waiting for someone to give Parker all the credit he deserves finally ❤ from New Zealand/Samoan

0:07 I was at the Cardiff stadium that night. 500 bucks tickets (+crazy hotel rates) to see a super boring fight with the ref keeping on separating them like as if he was saying “kids: don’t hit each other”. I wanted my money back so bad…

its been really exciting to see parker fight his way back in to the top tier of this division.

Excellent analysis

Good work as always, Rummy 👍🇬🇧

Great video! Been following Parker’s whole career being our only top rated heavyweight. You’re bang on with all your points you made, add in the improved heart and belief that Andy Lee has instilled in him. Andy Lee has been a fantastic choice of trainer and seems to be noticeably improving Parker every fight. Love your work Rummy! 🇳🇿

Always Top Quality Mr Rummy 👏 Thank You .

If you are not a subscriber to this man's channel, you should be. If you are a subscriber, and you don't like the videos you watch, do better. I'd even consider driving from up here in Toronto down to wherever in the NJ/NY area G lives just to shake this man's hand, and treat him to a meal and beverages of his choice, out of respect for being a major reason why I continue to be a fan of the sport of boxing.

AJ and Parker have the best resumes in modern heavyweight boxing. Theyve fought top guys consistently going back yrs, and the same cant be said for the likes if fury and wilder who regarded as being better than they've acc shown. Much respect to both of them and Parker in particular as he's very under-appreciated

Danke!

Parker wil go down as one of the best 3-4 Heavyweights of this generation

Really enjoyed this video. I learned more about Parker. Excellent work on this one.

Best boxing channell on youtube! Keso it up, Rummy!

Another excellent video. Well done Rummy

RUMMYYYYYYS COOORNNEEEER !!!

Great video! #TeamParker

I think it shows the importance of consistency and staying acrove, something that has been lost from many in the modern game compared to the past. Parker had 4 fights in a year and beat wilder and then 5 recently and beats zhang. Look at the difference with AJ after fighting 4 times in a year as well.

Man I love your breakdowns. I’m so in agreement with everything you say. Love your work from Australia 👊🏻 Boxing rocks everyone’s world

Well said, his trainer has done a brilliant job on him. Very much a now top heavyweight 👏👏👏

Parker is a true grinder with a great defensive and good movement!

Cheers, Rummy! The last 14 months proved Parker is in the top 5 of his generation.

I think Parkers winning streak proves you need to stay active in boxing to have success these days,I'd like to see him in with either AJ or Dubois next both would be big fights and more likely to have a fireworks. Thanks Rummy for another great video 🥊

Great video! Can we get another Boxing Dream Match of Calzaghe vs Ward at 168 and 175, please?

Awesome video great content 👌 love the edit

JP is the man ! The new trainer and nutritionist certainly has helped him 👌💪

excellent analysis

Smokin' Joe Parker! He's been doing incredibly well recently. I barely gave a chance against Wilder and Zhang but he's been proving a lot wrong lately. Hope he goes on to winning some titles and defending them.

There is a certain type of retro to your channel. I find it nostalgic for some reason

great video

For someone who doesn't know shit about boxing, Rummy makes excellent and insightful videos about boxing. Joseph Parker is more intelligent, diligent, appears to listen to his trainer and is harder working than most heavyweights too. He exposes lazy, over-confident foes with his hard work rate and constant movement.

Pure respect to Parker he has that next level inner steel.

Great boxer 💪🏻 underrated...

Really good video i agree Parker deserves more props he's up there now and he's got a good record of opponents for a guy of only 32 years old, he's very resilient and seems to use his losses as experience to learn from, Andy Lee has definitely helped him too

I have vague memories of a video where you suggested Parker was on the slide? 🤪 I’ve always thought he was a classy fighter, glad he’s putting it together.

Parker moved more tightly and more disciplined then before in both his wilder and zhang fights. Hard work and some type of motivational kick from God only knows where.

Shows the difference a good trainer can make to a talented fighter. And also a referee who lets you fight on the inside- grrr the ref in that Joshua fight! He’s the outside man and probably not as good as the few currently above him but he certainly deserves his flowers, lot of respect. Good vid as always 🥊

Another great video and spot on! Thank you! In my opinion Parker may well be the best Heavyweight in the world right now! I hear he is committed to a Zhang return, which could be tough if Big Bang comes out fast but if he does and does not get lucky I doubt Zhang will make it the full distance! I would now pick Parker to beat AJ and then Usyk after he outpoints Fury (as long as he can actually take a body punch!) As I'm sure you can tell I love Parker! He is a real breath of fresh air in the current boxing world, a talented boxer who is not afraid to take on tough opponents! A sort of modern day Jersey Joe Walcott or Archie Moore, he has got better with age!

NAME DROP " EMMANUEL ALWAYS TOLD ME..." DANG BRO!?
