Tony "The Tiger" Thompson fights Carlos Takam this Friday, for the WBC Int. strap. Who do you think will win?
Who cares...
Ahh the fight for the most prestigious of titles, the WBC 'Silver' title. For my 2 cents I reckon it'll be a bit of a boring fight, I'm not a fan of Tackam's style at all and I think Tony the Tiger will win on points. And who knows, he might carry on his European tour that he's been on for the last year and a bit.
David price must still be having nightmares about this man.
Good luck to Thompson, hope he wins and gets some good paydays (if possible) out of that belt.Quote:

I think both Tony Thompson and Carlos Takam have a lot left to offer the division. Thompson vs Joshua should be on the horizon.
I agree, good luck to Thompson. There are many worse fighters than him around in his division and he deserves the chance to earn his living plying his trade. Like El Kabong says he is a good test for any up and coming prospect.
Love to know what happened in the sparring between Fury and Takam.
Takam didn't go through with it in the end.Quote:

His opponent is no slouch, buy TT will be hoping to come back to the US and break some hips;D.
Gotta hand it to the ol geezer. We have our ears filled daily on what the youngest baddest American heavy "might" do, and Tony is just steady plugging away on a higher level, country hopping and arguably hitting a peak at 40. They can take the Silver belt and grind it into fairy dust for all I care but its an decent match. Thompson should boil it down and take a decision, but I'd bring a food taster along if I were him ;D
I asked Tyson's trainer on Twitter, he told me they met all of Takams demands but they never heard anything back.Quote:

Thompson is on a roll so he just wants to keep busy and making money. He will lose against Wlad so he fights the rest of the contenders instead. Nice gatekeeper role.
I think Thompson wins by UD or late TKO.
I hope Takam wins...so we get some fresh blood in the division.
