    Takam was 41 (39-6-1, 4 defeats by KO/TKO) when he fought Makhmudov, losing 6-4 with Makhmudov scoring 2 KD's

    Wach was 32 (27-0) when he fought Wlad and was shut out but went 12 rounds

    Wach was 42 (36-7, 3 defeats by KO/TKO) when he fought Makhmudov, Wach won two of the first five rounds, with Makhmudov scoring a KD and winning by stoppage the 6th

    Takam and Wach were fighting in Makhmudov’s adopted backyard as clear B-sides, in 10 rounders

    He'd have beaten Wach who was never any good to begin with, too big and slow a target for someone as ruthless as Mak.

    Takam might have beaten him but then again maybe he just fades like he always did and loses a similar fight to what we saw against an older Takam.
