If Parker beats Takam he's certainly making a statement, especially when it's on KO and an unbelieveble statement if he does it within 6 rounds.
Even Jason Bergman made it till round 8, how on earth would it be possible that Takam wouldn't?

That's not how it works.

Then how does it work? Perez, Thompson, Povetkin, nobody has ever stopped him within 6 rounds, not even close in fact.

Styles make fights. Just because none of them stopped him doesn't mean Parker won't. That's not how things work. If it were boxing would be very boring.

Have you seen Takam's style? Parker will probably have more trouble with him because of his style alone already, even if he was a middleweight?!

Yeah I've seen him a few times. Parker has fast hands and hits hard so Takam has plenty to worry about himself. Parker is quicker than anyone Takam has faced. Maybe Parker will unravel because this is his first solid test but I think he'll find Takam easy enough to hit and I can't see Takam being able to stand up to his attacks beyond 6 rounds. I could be wrong but that's my prediction. Watched the weigh in earlier and Takam looked in fantastic shape so he's over there to win. I'm looking forward to an exciting fight.

Asdfjkl is a little kid. Some other poster that was debating an issue with him, mentioned that there should be age restrictions on our forum insinuating asdfjkl was a minor. Doesn't get the most simplest of things sometimes.

Anyway go Parker!!

Definitely an interesting fight and a really good test for Parker. We'll find out a little more about him - and just how good he is. I really rate him, as Stuarty says he's got really fast hands and the power to put away anyone. I'm going for an 8th round stoppage.

I like Takam, though. A proper gatekeeper heavyweight.

Not sure, but if Parker doesn't have the fastest hands in the division they're certainly close to it.

Gotta throw Andy Ruiz into the mix for the fastest hands in the division

I've not seen him yet I don't think. I read his last fight report and he got a good review. What's he like?mdo you think he'll be knocking on the door for a shot soon?

Very fast hands, nice skills but questions about his dedication. If he was in shape he'd likely be looking at being a cruiserweight...very short and not the longest of arms.

...looks like crap, but skilled and fast

Bloody hell mate. Using your logic Lennox Lewis could never have bombed out Razor Ruddock in 2, among a million other examples through boxing history. Sharpen up your instrument, man!

Is anyone fishing today, by the way? If so can someone provide me the coordinates of a fruitful lake? xx

Both of these guys look pretty dire to me but maybe i'm being harsh.

Turned it off straight away andthe fact Halling was on commentary didn't entice me to stay tuned in.

I'm waiting for brown butterbean v 25 stone 1win 0 loss guy, will be a funny fight

I really wouldnt be shocked if Parker got chinned. I'm not entirely sold on him as of yet. This fight will tell a lot. Ps this ring announcer

True

the MC has a strange accent

I want a burger king now!

Before the fight starts let us take a moment to admire the wonder that is Kevin Barry's 'hair'



Remarkable
