I was thinking about a bet on AJ by Dec, which was 9/1 yesterday on Bet365, but dont think so now.
Just rewatched Takam vs Parker and while he is tough and awkward i can see him giving up too much ground as he realises hiw strong AJ is in close, and getting trapped on the ropes. AJ punches with more weight than Parker who is more snappy quick puncher so Takam will likely get busted up more.
Also have to account for brit stoppage aswell.
Edit: take that back after watching some of the Povetkin fight. He likely wont get backed up, but he still takes too many shots imo and he is too inconsistent defensively. One thing i do like is his left hook counter which AJ has had problems with in the past. Maybe over uses it at times but could catch Joshua early and give him something to think about.
