Johann Duhaupas/Carlos Takam for the WBC Silver heavyweight title on 28 January

Takam by UD.

I was already going to pick Takam before Duhaupas stepped in vs Povetkin, so that just made it clearer.

 

Takami by UD.

 

Takam shreds him. Duhaupas is solid but a level below Carlos.

 

Takam. Duhaupas' soul is gone forever

 

Surprised Duhaupas is even able to fight so soon after a pretty brutal KO.

Surely he'd have to have taken a couple of weeks of training after that??

 

The WBC really need to stop with this ****. Is this silver belt some sort of eliminator? As if it is we're talking about two guys coming of losses, one a brutal KO loss to a drugs cheat who may or may not still be amongst their ranking after spending the longest time as their mandatory challenger without getting a shot at their overly protected heavyweight champ.

 

if dulhaupus is in shape / and he understandably only looked in average condition for povetkin / i think he could beat takam.

takam in the parker fight could only fight for 1 min per round / if that takam shows up then the steady jabs of dulhaups could sway the french judges over takams late round flurrys.

i think it will go to points
takam is an arm puncher and IMO will not stop dulhaupus.
dulhaupus does not have any power to hurt takam.

takam is the better fighter . more skill / just father time has taken away his punch output.

 

Duhaupas must be making some good money taking fights on such short notice.
Takam UD. That´s if Johann comes prepared.

 

This fight shouldn't be happening until Spring-Summer.... Duhaupas was just brutally KO'd only a couple of weeks ago - it's criminal for this thing to be sanctioned. Takam isn't a big puncher but this is HW boxing....

 

I favour Takam, he's the more skilled of the two. Duhaupas is durable and will put in a workman like performance but he does nothing special. He doesn't have the power of a Povetkin or a Parker to discourage Takam coming in and he lacks the movement and boxing ability to outbox Takam. Takam wins a decision.
