Alexander Povetkin vs. Carlos Takam

[Tarkus]

Takam 5-3. takam will do better to stay outside IMO. He is giving Povetkin chances inside.

Holy poo, just looked up to talk to my flatmate, look back down and Takam's out cold! Hope he's alright, damn

[chucktaylor]

Not that Takam had much of a chance vs Klitschko anyway, but that is a bummer. I really, really hope Wlad doesn't fight Povetkin again.

[observer1]

Great KO

exactly - no conflict, fair result

[jujigatame]

Damn Takam blew it.

Nobody wants Wlad/Povetkin II so hopefully the Fury/Chisora winner will step up.

Why not Stiverne/Wilder winner ?

[ikorolev]

Povetkin still can't catch his breath.

I'd imagine that Wlad is gunning for the winner of Stiverne-Wilder when that happens, providing he gets past Pulev.

[lefty]

What povetkin-Haye if and when the latter comes back and looks decent?
