I think Makhmudov hits harder, but Joyce set a pace that old man Takams gas tank couldn't keep up with and that resulted in a relatively quick stoppage. Do you think Makhmudov stops him quicker ?
Yeah. Joyce your right set a quicker tempo but Makhmudov got power in both hands and is actually better at pinning his opponent’s to the ropes, Joyce more systematically breaks you down and drown’s you, makh steam rolls guys and bludgeons them.
He hits hard, so yes it's possible, but I think it's unlikely. Takam usually has success early before fading and that's what I expect and Makh will likely stop him around rounds 8-10.
If he catches him clean he should be able to. But Joyce throws a lot more leather than Mak and he's able to utilize his slow-fast speed in order to land at a much higher percentage than a genuinely slow fighter would.
Takam will be far cagier early, like he was with Joshua and try to nick rounds at range, much like Wach did. So he'll probably last around as long, give or take a round or two in either direction. So maybe yes, or maybe no. All depends on the approach Takam takes.
