Comments Thread For: Joshua Expects Late KO: Takam's Head is a Block of Cement!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

ANTHONY JOSHUA expects another battle in his world title defence against Carlos Takam as the Cameroonian's head is a block of cement'. Joshua will put his IBO, WBA 'super' and IBF heavyweight titles on the line against Takam in Cardiff on October 28. Takam has been drafted in to replace the injured Kubrat Pulev but will likely prove to be an equally tough test for Joshua.

Carlos Takam couldn't even KO a 42 year old Tony Thompson who Klitschko had previously knocked out twice -- and that was Takam's best win over three years ago before recently getting brutally KO by Pedvetkin ( I keep using the word KO here you understand??).

I wonder whats going to happen in this fight? I wish somehow I could watch this fight even if it meant paying for it like the lucky folks in the UK.

I got this weird feeling that this fight could go against the plan.

This fight may end sooner than everyone expects because Takam will be coming forward playing into Joshua's strengths. I give it 4 rounds.

Yeah I think it will be short and sweet, with Takam landing a few of his own but not being able to hurt Joshua. The Pulev fight would have been a better test of Joshua's skills, particularly on the outside

Im not sure about that. AJ hasnt fought a fighter like Takam before who has a bit of headmovement and defensive nous on the inside. Also a reasonable counter puncher too which might make Joshua cautious if he lands right. His stocky short frame could cause him some issues aswell. These are all things he hasnt had to deal with at the top(ish) level.

Could end up being a tricky night in terms of him getting the KO, though i think he will get to him late.

I would be massive impress if AJ stops Takam. Forget the hype this fight is a fight that AJ might need in terms of rounds.

Takam is a better fighter than a lot are giving him credit & IMO a level above Chisora/Whyte. He arguably beat Parker, he was on even terms with a roided to the gills Povetkin and was robbed vs Mike Perez.

He's a tough guy. Not saying he wins, I don't really see it but he's one of those incredibly durable Cameroonians that piles the pressure on. I want to see AJ vs a real durable pressure fighter. Maybe Takam can soak it up and somewhat exploit AJs stamina problems?
Rather see him in with Wilder, Ortiz & the likes but Takam isn't a *bad* fight.

That shows us how tough is Povetkin.
