Decent win for Parker even though Meehan was well past it. He has taken on the C & C+ level guys & had little trouble. Maybe one more to finish out the year & on the to the fringe guys. I like how they have slowly stepped up his opposition through 15 fights. I'm sure they learned from watching David Price what can happen if he is thrown to the wolves too early.

He needs to fight opposition who can test different aspects of his game (stamina, defence, offence, chin etc) so that when he meets his 'Thompson' he is ready.
Its difficult with HW's because they often punch so hard that its hard to match them correctly (see Kevin Johnson for Anthony Joshua. Seemed like a perfect opponent but got blitzed in two), however his handlers dont even seem to be really trying to find him the right level fights.

i would like to see Parker vs. Browne. But maybe Browne fights Chagaev next.

Originally posted by Tobi.G View PostNo, the old man gave his best but he couldnt handle Parkers Speed and power and the knockout was real. Meehan looked to be in good shape for a shot 45 year old fighter, he took this fight serious but it is time for him to hang em up.

i dont think browne's team have any intention of fighting parker any time soon, he's very carefully managed as they probably can see like all of us that he is very limited.
I think parker fights again in december, hopefully they will chuck him in with a christian hammer type guy, which is a slight step up.
I think he will be ready for Guys like Terper next year, need to see how he deals with pressure and how his whiskers hold up.
