IBF has a blatantly corrupt system where there are no number 1 and 2 slots / but promoters have to pay the ibf to get there fighters ranked as mandatorys. cannot see this as being fact though / parker if he beats takam will have paid for the number 1 mandatory slot. if the ibf introduced a rule where fighters then have to fight amother eliminator then other promoters would not play ball with the ibf .
Parker is getting KO'd... he's no Povetkin... Takam's gonna land bombs on his head! :dead I'd say Pulev by late stoppage on DoughBoy!! so Takam vs Pulev... :yep
It's certainly a huge fight, one of the best fights likely this year - Parker will definitely have worked harder and proved more for his shot at the IBF title than Joshua did... but I think it's too early to claim Takam's going to bomb Parker out (or vice versa). One of the reasons it's one to watch. Will answer a lot of questions! For various reasons I hope for a Parker win, it would be great for the division.
Pulev schools the **** out of chisora and chisora will quit bevor the tenth. Tekam will survive some early scares and KO parker. Tekam fought povetkin in A great fire fight and lost, but he is a level above Parker. Pulev will then decision tekam. Pulev is the real deal. Just because he had a **** gameplan and was brutally koed from an ATG Heavyweight champ Doesnt mean that he is a bum
