Comments Thread For: Price: Joshua Did Not Knock Takam Out Cold - Povetkin Did

[juggernaut666]

takam wasnt hurt once, the flash KD he jumped straight back up

Yea he wasnt hurt ,his knees just buckled throughout the fight for no reason as his body rattled badly in the later rounds ?

He actually buckled 3 times in rnd 10 and thats why the ref stopped it bc he also had two cuts with blood pouring in both eyes !

You are the biggest fanboy to any boxer I have ever come across on this site, bar none!

I mean this after witnessing *****s, *******s, Canelo and GGG fanatics.

There's not one remotely anti-AJ post you just cannot ignore

EDIT: *****s and p4ct4rds is banned lol

EDIT 2: f l 0 m 0 s is also banned!

I can't believe that juggernaut is actually pretending that Takam win was all that impressive. Takam came away with more credit than Joshua for that fight and the crowd booed the stoppage. That against a last-minute replacement who's never really managed to make it far past the fringes at world level.

Of course, I don't think Povetkin's win over Takam really has any bearing on this fight either. Takam is around Povetkin's size while Joshua is much taller and won't be anywhere near as easy to catch clean. Joshua's not going to be the soft target that Price was either.

How many rounds did Takam win ?

Which ones ?

What weight was Takam in the Povetkin fight ?



Who had the advantage going in on short notice when one guy was training for a 6'5 long range fighter and the other is used to fighting tall guys ?

Who was more ready to fight on the fly , Takam who Hearn had notified before the Pulev fight was even signed as back up or Joshua on TWO weeks notice ?

You know that saying dont bring a knife to a gun fight ?

Don't get bent out of shape, I'm not claiming that Takam was robbed or anything, but you're too easily impressed if you blow a load in your trousers over that win.

It was a flat, slightly clumsy performance against a fringe challenger where Joshua didn't look all that great, capped off by an unsatisfying UK stoppage (as evidenced by the boos of an otherwise very pro-Joshua crowd.) It didn't have any of the drama of the Klitschko fight, it wasn't a camera-friendly destruction like most of his fights before that, and the fight did more to highlight his vulnerabilities than showcase what makes him special. It was a pedestrian defense of the title that didn't live up to to its grand venue or its PPV billing. In the same timespan, Wilder delivers a sizzle-reel worthy 1-round execution of the only man to ever go the distance with him. Sure, Stiverne in no way deserved to be in that ring, but honestly neither did Takam with AJ.

Takam shouldn't be the yard stick to measure Povetkin vs Joshua fight because both of them defeated him.

Wladimir Klitscho should be the yard stick.

"and could have been stopped were he not saved by the bell. "

Imust have missed that part ?

Povetkin was quite badly hurt and took most of the next round off.

Price couldn't capitalise because the dude gases after throwing a punch and has no confidence whatsoever. Bellew was pretty much screaming at him that "he's ready to go". I don't often agree with Tony Bellew but he was right about that one - there was a legite opportunity for Price to get him out of there.

Right, and Klitschko destroyed Povetkin, albeit in farcical fashion with all the clinching. Povetkin continuously walks into left hooks.

Takam was 20 pounds heavier against Povetkin . lol

Joshua also did more damage in the first 4 rnds with far less punches then Povetkin did ithe entire fight .

Joshua actually knocking Takam down in rnd 4 and he had two cuts above each eye but we'll ignore that to .. lol

Both fights went 10 rounds. So in 10 rounds, Povetkin inflicted far more damage on a younger, 33 year old prime Takam who was previously UN-KO'ed whilst Joshua inflicted far less damage on an older, already KO'ed Takam in 10 rounds.

Which is why when Povetkin landed his best punches, Takam went to sleep. Whilst when Joshua landed his best punches, Takam was still standing.

Putting someone to sleep > cutting someone's face.

Putting someone to sleep > knocking someone down for a 2 count.

Putting someone to sleep = a more convincing and decisive way of winning, than by winning through a standing TKO stoppage. Because the former is conclusive and leaves no question marks. Whilst the latter leaves question marks as to the potential things that COULD'VE happened without the premature stoppage.

Povetkin barely landed anything clean in the first 4 rounds on Takam. He had him figured out after the 4th round. So that point proves nothing!

No it shouldn't, because Joshua faced and beat a 41 year old Wladimir Klitschko coming off a 2 year lay off and from a recent defeat.

Whilst Povetkin faced and lost against a 37 year, active Wladimir Klitschko who was in better form.

Had Joshua beaten Wladimir Klitschko in 2013, then you'd have a point. But he didn't. And therefore, their respective performances against Wlad is irrelevant.

And at no point was Povetkin about to be stopped against Price. His legs weren't even wobbling = evidence that he wasn't stunned or on the verge of getting knocked out.

Evidence: Go and see Povetkin walking back to his corner without his legs wobbling at all after he was controversially dropped from the price left hook in the third round.

And Price evidently punches significantly harder than Joshua. Not up for debate! Price has put multiple guys, literally to sleep. Whilst Joshua has never put a single opponent to sleep so far in his career. The closest he came was against Dillian Whyte.

If Takam can take and even walk through Joshua's punches as he did in the 7th and 8th round, then so can Povetkin.

Joshua's power is grossly overrated!
