Joseph Parker vs. Carlos Takam RBR.

116-112 Parker. Failing that 115-113 Parker.

AJ will be rubbing his hands at this performance.

Joe showed he has a good chin. He wasn't wobbled at all but gassed much faster than he should have.

He hurt Takam on multiple occasions but showed he has one hell of a chin!

AJ, Wilder or Fury would have had more trouble with the shots that hurt Takam. However, judging on Parkers performance, I see Parker struggling to get inside of those fighters.

I think Parker will learn a lot from this. This was Takams fight to win and Parkers to lose.

Takam could have changed that result with more activity and if he let his hands go more...

 

Don't think Parker is exposed or a bad fighter but there are definitely flaws there which top heavyweights will exploit. Good heart, hand speed and offense but defensively he's open and stamina is a concern.

 

Why I be butthurt? you're an awful poster that knows jack **** about boxing , I could care less about your opinion.

 

Some people wouldn't admit to being pleased even if they are.

Parker took on a huge test and passed. He isn't the next Ali. But we already knew that.

 

And better defense. Having a great chin may not be enough against Joshua.

 

I had it 115-113. It's only different by scoring one round the other way.

 

Parker barely landed power shots, Takam was the better fighter. Sometimes not active enough, but a draw would have been the minimal outcome for Takam.

 

David Haye really rates Takam, sparred with him a lot and has said recently they should keep AJ away from Takam at this moment in time.

 

Takam won at least 6, probably 7 rounds. Giving him only 4 rounds is a robbery ...

 

I thought so too, though the fight was close.

 

7-5 for Parker at BEST, draw and Takam winning 7-5 were possibilities period. There were tons of rounds that could have gone either way. Are yo telling me that Parker dominated these rounds so much that you couldnt see some swnig rounds , cmon dude get real.

 

Classy? He just encouraged young kids to eat fast food.

 

Not sure we even watched the same fight.

Parker did enough to win and was rewarded for it on all 3 cards.

 

You clearly care too much about me to make a claim that I am an awful poster which implies you pay attention to me. You dun goofed yourself cuh.
