    good fight. and it sets up the winner to fight the winner of the jennings-szpilka fight which happens 1 week later.

    Yeah, really good fight, but IDK if Jennings/Szpilka winner is gonna be risked vs Perez so quickly.

    Neither really has the tools to deal with a great overall fighter like Perez, and after beating Abdulsalamov the way he did, Perez is gonna be avoided by any other rising HWs.

    This is however a great fight for both Perez and Takam b/c it gives one or the other a great win over a top 20 fighter, and sets them up for a title shot later in 2014.

    Takam is a relatively unknown quality. He's got that nice win over Grant, but Grant was a shell of himself, and we all mostly know that Grant wasnt ever a truly top HW. More of a McCline level even when he was winning.

    But the way Takam handled him makes me think that we've been missing something in Takam. Overlooking something.:huh Cant place it, but if he beats Perez......skies the limit, and Wlad would have a true challenge.:think

    If most "rising" HWs duck the winner of Perez/Takama, there' always Tony Thompson. :) Or may be Chisora. Given the TV build up for the main event , the winner of this fight, especially if the win is spectacular, could find himself under the spotlight:)

    That would be great, but Perez was HBO's first choice before Szpilka, and Jennings' management turned down Perez.

    But it's understandable, it would be a bad career move for Jennings to fight Perez now. He needs at least 2 or 3 more fights before taking on a top ten HW.

    Gonna be a good fight this one, but I've gotta go with Perez. In terms of skill and handspeed he's the equal of any other Heavy out there. Takam is a tough MFer but I have to go with the Irish-Cuban on this one - simply boxes hell outta Takam.

    Would this be for Takam's WBF belt?

    Of course they are black. Pérez is black, Lara is black, Gamboa is black, Rigondeaux is black, even Richar Abril has possibly a black parent.

    What about Castro?

    I hope the winner fights Wilder, but Wilder will not fight Chisora, Thompson or anyone...............................

    Why do 90% of this bots posts involve wilder? Anyway we could just move all of his attempted posts to one single thread so no one has to bother with this boring ****?
