    This is what i was thinking, he was horrific against a terrible perez, the worst perez ever, that says everything. Not a top hw ny any stretch, possibly fringe contender before he retires. But that's as close to top anything he gets.

    C to C+ level, on his best night

    Watch Takam vs. Povetkin on youtube.

    Tremendous HW fight.

    I think the title of this thread is ridiculous.

    Parker - the taller faster man surely must win.

    Boxrec isn't showing any US channels for that fight.
    Main Event will probably be around 7AM Eastern time. Doubt HBO or Showtime would be on board for that

    Wouldn't be a total shock if Takam won, this is a big, big step up for Parker. Who's the best opponent Parker has faced so far? An ancient Meehan, Tupou?

    But it's hard not to be impressed by Parker, he's a tremendous athlete, he has by far the quickest hands at heavyweight at the moment and has decent power.

    I think Parker will win in a tough fight but don't rule out Takam upsetting the young prospect.

    I had Takam winning 7 rounds, 6 would have been justified as well.

    Judges only gave him 4 and 5 rounds, a robbery in my opinion as I have feared. If Takam was more active he would have won 8-9 rounds, exposed Parker a little bit.

    nice try to not look stupid...too many rounds takam didnt do anything for first two minutes and tried to pressure in final round... YES many people including all the broadcasters were pretty much all on the same page 8-4, or 7-5 in favour of parker is very fair..

    Judges had it 116-112 or 115-113, as did I, as did 99% of this forum as did 99% of twitter as did 99% of boxing sites. You're the outlier here, take the L and stop being a little beetch :hi:
