Johnny Walker

Walker's knockdown power, shown against Zhang Mingyang, in a fight where he only needs one clean connection.

Walker (22-10-0) scored a knockdown and landed 50 significant strikes with 1:20 of control in his August 2025 win over Zhang Mingyang, the most recent evidence of fight-ending power on either side. Parkin (10-1-0) has a knockdown of his own (vs. Lukasz Brzeski, July 2024), but his only logged loss came against Marcin Tybura in March 2025 despite Parkin himself landing a takedown and accumulating 3:43 of control — grinding output that did not get him the win. Both are experienced fighters, and Walker's edge is thin: he was outworked in his most recent logged bout, a loss to Dominick Reyes where he landed 42 significant strikes with no knockdown and only 0:10 of control. A narrow lean to Walker on demonstrated finishing ability.
