Round-By-Round - Anthony Joshua (c) vs. Carlos Takam - October 28th 2017

[sgtcecil]

I will say this

In no way would Joshua reign in a 'live' HW division, he looks far better in training than when he actually fights

I know he shew grit & heart in Klitschko fight, and Klitschko fought very well, but Klitschko was still getting on..

AJ is reigning b/c the talent pool in the HW div is jank

That's the only reason

Agree.

If Tyson Fury could get his shit together...

[Tuan_Jim]

Takam stopped by the referee, not by Joshua, like so many away fighters. I fgcking hate how corrupt British boxing has become. Takam denied the dignity of going the distance.

[forcefraser]

What is it with these early stoppages? World title fight

I think the reason every reigning boxer has reigned is because they are better than the rest of the division.....

[Grilling Machine]

Why let him go through that to stop him then?

Especially when Joshua was slowing.

[rd350lc]

Joke stoppage

[Covfefe]

This is a fight for the heavyweight title.

Why stop that?

[gilgamesh]

Why let him go through that to stop him then?

He was moving his head, and defending himself. Ridiculous.

[Rexob]

Come back Fury easy fight for you.

[Mimmy]

Tough scrap for AJ that. Not sure if thats improved him or not, could well be his nose had something to do with it. But im glad its over.

Im still on the AJ train.

[lillywhite14]

Terrible stoppage.

[wesshaw1985]

have to maintain AJs KO record

Slowing, but he was close to actually earning a stoppage. It’s ruined it for Joshua as much as he has for Takam.

[dr_devious]

Crap stoppage Takam didn't even look wobbled

[sweetmagee]

That's a rubbish stoppage

[gilgamesh]

What's the referee's name?

[milpool]

Not good, not good at all, Phil Edwards.

[SAPFO]

Joke British stoppage once again. Makes me sick

[bigjack]

Really bad stoppage IMO. Interesting that Froch is suggesting it was early also!

defo too early for me

[Neil Gee]

Ooh strangely timed ending.

It wasn't looking like Joshua was gonna stop him at all. I think Takam was gonna last the distance, and by all rights should've been able to. He wasn't taking excessive punishment.

[tony1234]

Poor stoppage, if he can ignore all the cuts then stop it for a few punches that didn't seem to be that troubling. I wonder if that was an off night with the change of opponent for AJ or is he not as good as the hype ?

[mickey1975]

Every time I watch AJ I'm more convinced Fury would have absolutely played with him.

[BitPlayer]

Fvcking bullshit nonstoppage.

[rossij8]

Forget the stoppage, fair or not

Please please please have a neutral referee for these fights
