    Takam-Forrest is an intriguing fight

    This is the best ESPN bubble fight so far IMO.

      If you find any hit me up. I'm trying to throw up the Pick Em and I need to know who the players can put a x5 on. can't find any official odds at all, only a coupla random predictions, one of which has Takam about 2/1 favourite the other fancying Forrest 65/35... ain't enough to go on at all.

      Cheers

        Takam always shows up in shape, he will outwork and beat up Forrest on his way to an 8-2, 9-1 type fight

            Takam is a 4/11 favourite. which is a bit wide imo. i thought it might be a pick em, maybe takam @1/2 or something.

            I dunno man, hes getting a bit gunshy and taking off large portions of rounds, he was doing this in his prime & is the reason he lost the Parker fight...i can imagine he could easily be outworked by a younger guy, matey is nearly 40 & been in a ton of wars.
            Having said that i dont think ive ever seen Jerry Forest, is he a complete bum? Surely he'll get the decision if its close. Takam is on his way out.

              Thanks for the heads up on the odds man, I provisionally figured Takam as the favourite, but knowing so little about Forrest it was hard to make a call. What site did you find the odds on?

              WRT Takam, I'm more with you here, Carlos is getting old and whilst we all seem to think of him as a solid and potentially dangerous dude it's what, 5 or 6 years since he had a decent win and even then we're talking about ol' man TT and a post Mago Perez... Point being we don't know for sure that Forrest needs to be all that to potentially get the W. I like Takam, always have, and I'll be rooting for him, but his reputation seems to rest as much on usually giving a tough fight in his losses as upon his wins.

                  Yeah I updated the Pick Em with the odds from Oddchecker

                  https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/c...forrest/winner

                  Went with -175 in yankspeak but averaged it's actually a lil under -170, close enough though.. Funny thought though innit? This is one of the bigger boxing forums and it ain't impossible that people have a glance on here or their search engines point em here when they're looking for tips...
