Joshua-Takam

Corner will pull him out maybe

 

Every fight that Joshua has had against a half-live opponent has gone rounds.

 

Much better from Joshua. Opened a terrible cut over Takem's eye with a combination and then a flash KD very late in the round. This one will be over: the cut is very bad.

MTF

 

I honestly think he NEEDS the rounds.

 

I think it's more the awkwardness of Takam's height and style.

 

I mean, Povetkin got rid of this guy in 10. Joshua is better than that.......we're into the sixth.

 

The ref is looking to stop this over that cut. It's a bad one. Takam might as well get after this before he's pulled out.

MTF

 

Takam is game but his eye is really fucking bad. They'll pull him out, unless he goes from broke.

MTF

 

Takam has some chin

 

Joshua looks every bit a 19-0 boxer...

 

I love AJ's little hooks inside.

 

Game cunt is this lad. Could have easily took a route out with that cut but he's taking punches and throwing some back.

MTF

 

Really fucking game this lad. Joshua landing some bombs in the 6th but he's still there and still working the body nicely when he gets inside.

MTF

 

The guy who beats Joshua will have quick feet and a short fast hook.

 

Entertaining fight though!

 

Joshua's defense is woeful. Takam is landing plenty of good shots in the 7th. Battling away.

MTF

 

The betting odds reflect this. Takam has gone from 50-1 to 20-1

 

Big brass bollocks on this Takam fella. Joshua is starting to blow quite heavily and Takam is landing a few blows of his own.

MTF

 

.........now it's 16-1

 

I felt that could happen,via the broken nose.

 

Joshua moves back in an absolutely fucking straight line when someone throws punches at him. His defense is really poor - it's his big weakness.

MTF

 

Sounds like Takam's chin is up to the task.

 

He's not as good as advertised and never has been.

 

Pressure, pressure, pressure from Joshua, but Takam taking everything in and firing some nice counters. Joshua is miles ahead on the cards, but this cunt is still in there punching.

MTF

 

Unbelievably game. He's basically fought with one eye for most of the fight and he's taken a lot of shots.

MTF

 

Referee desperately keen to stop this for the cut. He's been in this spot for five rounds or more - let him finish the task.

MTF

 

10th round............

 

Such bollox isn't it....................it's why Hearn is hated.

 

Froch telling us that Takam isn't hurting Joshua, just as Takam lands several good shots inside. Joshua blowing quite hard again and under a bit of pressure for the first time.

MTF

 

12-1 Takam. He's basically cut the odds against himself by 80%.
