Joshua 2-1 favorite to end Takam before round 5!!

[Vinnykin]

Every #2 contender gets a notice, but none of them get a check to properly prepare for the fight

So you are saying Takam has not properly prepared? when he has been sparring and training for the whole 12 weeks.

Lets just agree that he has not had 12 days notice and he has been preparing for 12 weeks yeah. Fully fit and ready to go as he has himself stated.

Takam always stays in shape any way.

No don't get me wrong, I know Takam is training cause he had a fight on Nov 4 anyways, but it's different if he were preparing for Joshua and getting sparring partners for Joshua

You have to put money on Takam if you know boxing and looking at the odds, this is a genuine 50-50. Takam beat Parker, who can fight going backwards and has good defence (Parker gets hometown decision and I count my own scorecards better than the judges). Joshua is easier to hit and Takam will pile the pressure on, if Joshua gases like he did against old Wlad, it's game-over!

Takam is a live underdog!

If AJ gasses he'll probably survive for a decision, cause Takam doesn't punch near as hard as Wlad or he would have knocked Parker out, Takam clearly won 7-5/8-4, and I thought Ruiz won even clearer 8-4/9-3

He doesn't need to punch hard if Joshua gases, there are other ways to apply pressure that WK was incapable of doing. You can clinch and wrestle and lean on an opponent when they are tired which makes them gas even more, just keep throwing and they will fall, doesn't even have to be hard punches.

Parker is the fittest HW currently and has great stamina, he was still going backwards in the 12th round so of course Takam couldn't ko him, much like Parker couldn't ko the best mover in the division in HF.

I had Takam winning 8-4 against Parker personally.
