Boxing: Alexander Flores – Joseph Parker Is Imperfect And Lack Of Stamina

Alexander Flores promises to arrest Joseph Parker in their fight in a fortnight, claiming that the New Zealander is an imperfect boxer who has endurance problems.

Flores, an American-Mexican, made these bold statements in front of the press at Parker's Las Vegas gym before the former Kiwi world champion arrived on his behalf with the press.

Unsurprisingly, Flores' comments were not taken too seriously by Parker, but it does provide insight into the state of mind of the man who will enter enemy territory in Christchurch on December 15th.

"I'm fighting on his home turf, so it can not be close, but the fight will certainly not last 10 laps, I can promise you," Flores said. "I'm knocking Joseph Parker on December 15th.

"Either he will not get out of the stool, or he will not get up … I guarantee it.

"I see a lot of faults, I can tell you one thing: he's tired … the fight with Dillian Whyte – how are you a world champion if you're tired and tired like that?

"He should have fresh air from the first to the last turn, I just hope he gets up and runs."

Parker began his fight against Whyte in London aggressively before a shock in the second lap that struck him changed the momentum of the fight and let him try to recover.

Flores was probably referring to the middle round when Parker did not look at himself and later spoke of feeling "in a dream state" because of the concussion injury he was undergoing.
But he finished the fight at the top and toppled Whyte in the final seconds. The judges awarded the decision unanimously to Whyte.

Parker has gone the distance in his last five fights, while Flores, who has fought 18 times as a professional with a loss, has never gone past the eight innings. This suggests that it will be Flores who will test his endurance. Parker, a former WBO heavyweight champion, is known to have two of the fastest hands in the division and his move could upset his less experienced opponent.

"It shows confidence and self-confidence," Parker said of Flores comments. "But there are levels to that and he did not have the same opposition as I. I think that if there is an early stoppage of work, he will be gone."

"I've done 12 rounds a few times now, so I think he should do his homework.He's never gone past the 10 rounds.I think my stamina is good.I can do the distance or make a short fight if I catch it. "

Parker was much more discreet than Flores. It seems that after his losses to Anthony Joshua, to whom he lost his WBO World title, and to Whyte, he would have preferred to speak in the ring. He made no reference to wanting to stop Flores earlier than planned, but that's what he would like to do.

And since he will want to dominate early with a new, more ruthless attitude, it is not surprising to see Flores being counted before the fight has gone beyond halfway.

Flores, fingers on his left hand lifted and rigged, played with Andy Ruiz Jr, a former opponent of Parker, Dominic Breazeale and Charles Martin, and added: "I think they subdue me. believe … I think Parker has "I do not want the fight, I think his promoter did." I think they're looking at me for another Whyte fight. He's talking about a knockout, but that will not happen. "

Patrick McKendry traveled to Las Vegas with the help of Flooring Xtra, one of the main sponsors of the Joseph Parker-Alexander Flores fight, which took place at Horncastle Arena in Christchurch on December 15th.
