Thats a very good fight. I'm suprised and so happy to see some good hw matchups and I feel like hw division is getting better.

Hmmm I think I'll be picking Povetkin in this fight.

Good scrap though

This is an excellent fight. Takam is one of my favorite heavyweights at the moment. I do favor Povetkin, however. It's going to be hard for Takam to beat him in Russia.

Takam will have to outwork Povetkin and apply non stop pressure. If his overhand rights can find a home often, it could get interesting. One thing is for sure he can't start slow like he did against Perez (even though I thought Takam should've been awarded a close decision). A sustained body attack and great stamina may carry Takam to victory.

Takam has an iron chin so it will also be interesting to see if Povetkin can hurt him with his powerful shots. There should be some good in fighting from both guys. Both guys will land some nice uppercuts and hooks in there.

Takam is a pressure fighter with a granite chin. His last 2 fights were against top 20 HWs who were both southpaws. Takam is a 250lbs mack truck. He has huge calves & a tree trunk neck. It will be interesting to see how povetkin reacts to takam's aggressiveness. Takam throws more then charr. The only issue with takam is his power. He's a lot like pulev. Big, good chin but not a big puncher... Still not sure how he lost to greg tony

I can't find that fight anywhere. I've been wondering the same thing. He looked lethargic in the highlights and Tony was getting off first.
