    Povetkin vs Takam



    Worth rewatching. It was a very even fight until the 9th, Takam's athleticism and speed gave Povetkin some problems.

    My boy Parker is gonna have his hands full with this guy, but if he beats him in impressive fashion, he becomes a top 5 HW without question imo.

    Povetkin is such a monster..

    can you imagine if he was boxing 25 years ago? where heavyweights weren't all giants.

    I agree with Parker, if he beats Takam he definitely deserves respect.. I'm a little skeptical however, I'm not sure if he is the real deal. I can honestly say he has the heart of a champion, no doubt, let's see if he has the skills of a champion

      The russian commentators are such povetkin ****riders , its unwatchable. Takam lands a punch and they praise povetkin.

        Takam is a very good fighter. He beat Thompson and Perez (despite the decision), on top of giving Povetkin a pretty good run for his money. A decisive win over him pretty much puts him on par with Wilder, so yeah the lower end of the top 5. I think Takam has proven a lot more than Stiverne, but Povetkin has already beaten him, so i'd say it's equal. In order to crack the top echelons of the division, it's pretty much a case of beating the top 3 guys - Fury, Wlad or Povetkin.

          Of course they are.. as any other country commentating their fighters. It's called being a patriot. What's wrong with that hahol

            Takam is a pretty strong opponent.

            Will be interesting to see What parker has got once he is actually hit by someone who wants to hurt him

              takam is legit, just under the radar

              if he was american and had a chrome plated ferrari and cussed a lot, he would be hyped and that povetkin KO would have been a huge upset

              wont be an easy night for parker

                That left hook was devastating.

                  Takam is a good boxer and a legit top 10 guy for a good few years now.

                  Big thing with him imo is the lack of pop. He doesnt seem to put much mustard behind his punches and it can make it difficult to score close rounds in his favour.

                  Parker is in deep here. Takam has enough about him that if Parker is less than advertised or still too green then he will lose. I hope he wins
