I wanted to make an observation on the differing styles JWP used in his last 2 fights. Also hello John and thanks for posting.

In the fight against Zambidis I noticed Parr was balancing himself differently. In this fight he really kept his weight on his back foot and was in a more boxing style stance. You could see the weight on the back leg and he kept his knees bent. I think this was the reason for the great hooks and seemed to me to have a lot more power in them. Parr to me was fighting in more of a Yodsanklai style, which is 1 of the boxing stances. There are different ones.

Also the game plan he utilized in that Zambidis fight was a very good one. Zambidis often ends up slapping his opponents with his hooks, most likely because of his short arm length and inability to keep the proper distance. Parr outboxed the boxer and utilized the left leg kicks to shutdown the right arm and keep his opponent off balance. I was little confused as to why I didn't see the same in thing in the Buakaw fight. They are completely different fighters of course but I did expect to see the same kind of foot work in that fight.

One of the best things about Parr is his ability to up the combos and action in later rounds when he realizes he may be down on points. Very few fighters are willing to take that risk or have the will to overcome that obstacle.
