AJ vs Takam poll - who wins and how

I think Takam's a little more durable than Pulev and also more dangerous with those planted feet, looping left hooks so Joshua may well take his time a little, get behind the jab and box more cautiously early on. Ultimately though Takam is still outmatched here so Joshua by stoppage rounds 7-12.

 

Over within15 minutes.

 

Joshua has had him in the camp and knows it's a turkey shoot.

 

Joshua by ko between rounds 7-12 I think takam will make it past 6 but aj should dominate him and be up 5-1 or 6-0 on the cards.

 

I went Joshua 6-12, but seriously in this kind of fight where AJ has game changing power but fighting someone durable like Takam it would be foolish to be certain one way or another. Takam is a small guy which will be a big down side, but the only more technically sound guy AJ has actually fought so far was a faded Klitschko.

This MAY push AJ a bit harder than people are expecting, but AJ winning this one is a pretty safe bet.

 

within 3 for me 4 inches taller longer reach more power more speed more everything really maybe takam throws more combos but thats all i can give him and don't think that will help him as it will leave him open

 

You didn't set a ****ing end date?

 

Aj should win but with that chin he could lose any fight and the blueprint is there it's just gonna take a fighter with a good chin and gas takam will not be fit enough

 

I'm voting Takam for the upset.

Hehe.

 

Takam has only one week to prepare for the fight, so it will be a miracle (which happens very rarely) if he wins. I expect AJ to win by KO1-6

 

Takam is pretty durable so I see him hanging in there to the later half of the fight...

 

Actually I'm coming round to Takam lasting longer than 6 rounds but the lack of a camp might hamper that. We saw Duhaupas filling in late for Buffet King and that was quite brutal.

 

Don't bother posting in this because I'm deleting it unless this goober can figure out how to edit the poll to add the cutoff date on voting.

 

If Povetkin can do him in 10 back in 2014, then surely AJ will be able to do the same in a similar time frame.

Credit goes to hearn for keeping such a high quality fighter on the bench with a fight in Monaco to motivate him.

AJ KO 8th round for me.
