Who would win this fight between Johann Duhaupas and Carlos Takam ? It would be nice if this fight happened in France as Duhaupas is french and Takam is french based
Duhaupas is a very solid fighter with the high guard, decent chin and solid, basic boxing skills but he does nothing particularly well, he'll just always be that guy that loses but has enough not to be blown away or outclassed. He's not quick, he doesn't move that well, he isn't a big puncher he just comes in and gives a workman like performance each time. Takam has is flaws but he has better skills, power, footwork etc. Look at their performances against Nascimento, Duhaupas won a clear 10 round decision, Takam blew him out in 4 rounds. Now that doesn't mean Duhaupas will get blown away, far from it, he'll put in his usual workman like performance and give a good account for himself and always be in the fight but he just doesn't have to tools to actually win against the better fighters in the division.
i pick dulhaupus on points neither fighter has the power to hurt the other. my reasoning is that dulhaupus sets a steady pace for the fight whereas takam as judged by the parker fight only fights for 1 min every round takam basically did next to nothing for the first 2 mins per round then stepped up the pace in the last min and if dulhaupus can get enough jabs in to land then he should build up a lead on points.
