I'm in the usa and here it is basically a pick'em. Do you think Takam should be a big favorite? Maybe put some money on him aftrr you see how he weighs in.
Looking at Forrests record he has beaten no one of note/all been pretty poor competition. But Takam is pushing 40 so who knows
Takam is favourite here in the UK. Takam is 8/13 Forrest is 6/5. I read the title of the thread and was about to go large on Takam, so upset now, I was licking my chops at the thought Takam was an underdog in this one.
I had Forrest beating Jermaine Franklin with the jab in a pretty low work rate fight. I think he should be the slight underdog here but it's been a long time since Takam has beaten a fighter better than Jerry Forrest. It should be interesting.
I bet Takam +115. He's now -125 at my book. Takam loses when he fights the top level (and is usually competitive with those guys), which certainly isnt Jerry Forrest. I mean if Takam is gonna lose to a guy who got washed by Gerald Washington and lost every round to Michael Hunter then so be it. Forrest has never beaten a soul. I dont rate him better than Craig Lewis or Senad Gashi whom Takam just handled both.
I can't believe you got odds on Takam as the underdog. Every book I've seen had Takam the favorite. I would have bet that too.
Takam is ridiculously overrated on this board. I think his big win was a decision over Tony Thompson more than six years ago.
I do not disagree with your statement but Takam also fought a close fight with world class Joseph Parker AND won every round against Chisora till he got caught by that overhand. Takam for sure isn't a Top 10 HW and skill-wise he's limited but he shouldn't be an underdog to Jerry Forrest to be fair.
