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

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