Parker-Takam - Winner gets AJ - Sky Sports 3 - 11am UK

[Fenster]

Sky have bought this fight which would suggest AJ/Eddie have no problem facing Parker should he win.

I know some people think Parker is a better talent than Joshua. Well it looks like we're gonna find out quicker than expected... if Parker gets past Takam of course.

Parker id say is better schooled looks more fluid but he may have fought lesser opposition.

I think Parker will win a decision. Takam is a good fighter but older and I think with his style he needs a "youthful night" to beat someone like Parker. Has Parker's chin been tested yet? Takam has a little pop in him, he could shake Parker up.

Parker might score a knockdown, but I think Takam will hang tough in there and make him work.

I don't see it going the distance. Infact nowadays I don't see many HW match ups going the distance.
Obviously the Fury v Wlad non punching snooze fest is the exception to the rule .

Takam is cagey, just understand that Povetkin is the guy who knocked him out.....he's got really good pop and actually Wilder just might find out in their fight about just that.


Point being is I think Parker might could hurt Carlos, but I think Carlos will be able to last the distance. Now if Takam lands one on Parker, THAT will be the interesting scenario!

I agree. Parker although looks good has been extended by Minto. I dont think hes the biggest puncher. I think hes good and if you look back I think im the first member to have made a thread on him. http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...promising.html

He hasnt faced anyone dangerous and I dont think Takam is dangerous either. Povetkin is over rated. Wilder will stop him, he cant mave his head.

Maybe Parker doesnt stop him but I see it being routine for him.

I dont think Takam is what he needs before Joshua if he isnt ready. Hopefully he can hook up with the Furys for sparring in a few weeks. Would be great experience for him training with the best heavy in the world. Tyson is a full on sparrer so not much better prep.
