    Boxing Scene is reporting that the winner of Parker v Takam will have to fight the winner of Pulev v Chisora. My understanding is this is incorrect. The winner of Parker v Takam becomes the IBF #1 and the mandatory challenger while the winner of Pulev v Chisora is the IBF #2

    I'm not talking about bookies. Parker is probably big favourite by the bookies to win this fight. Takam is a top 10 heavyweight, so I think he is the favourite.

    Yeeeeeah, the bookies had every reason to have Chagaev as favorite though...I mean, he was beating Browne until he got caught :yep

    A disappointing venue for sure.

    But the fight is one to look forward to.

    One clean punch and the fight can be over. Both with power and technique. I think Takam is a better boxer than many people thinks, but Parker is the favorite, no doubt - 70/30.

    Works for me, so long as I get a ticket! Smaller venue = more likely to have a good view :)

    I'm really not sure why everyone hypes Takam, he's really not that good. He would have lost badly to Scott.

    Looked to me like he performed really well against Povetkin, Povetkin is good.

    Is this what one would call an 'alt fail'?
