That was joshua on 12 day's notice. He spent camp preparing for a guy with different dimensions and a totally different style so he was at the bigger disadvantage. Takam was well prepared knowing he was the first replacement option if pulev pulled out.
I was very impressed by his shoulder roll type of defense and the way he ducked and slipped punches. not really any guys at the weight displaying the skills he displayed my only knock is he waited too long to mount his offense but he was starting to have success despite bad cuts when the ref waved it off for no reason
Another fixed fight where some official saved their A side diva from an E.E. boogeyman. Cuts were under control, lewis' punches were dong nothing and he was running out of gas crashing onto his stool between rounds. So THEN the ring doctor deceides to stop it. Nothing to see here move along TKO 6 DURRRRR.... By hook or by crook, doe.!
Please explain how Joshua was "saved"? WTF did you watch? Joshua dropped Takam and won every round and never in any sort of trouble. The stoppage was bad, I wasn't happy with it but let's not rewrite history here and try to pretend Takam was on the verge of victory. And Lewis wasn't "saved" either, he tore VK's face to pieces, legitimately too, no head or elbows, he punched VK and ripped him up. Legitimate stoppage.
Vitali beat an overweight untrained there just for the paycheck Kirk.The Kirk I knew in Dallas would have been a different story
