Mine... Sky Sports are hyping up Joshua as some sort of immortal omnipotent demi-god. FFS!

Joshua by KO in round 7, but i expect Takam to land some good punches early

josh by another big stoppage. look at how bad the card has been so far and then after compare it to the aj fight. joshua is a huge star in part because he can be counted on for explosive showings. no boring ud stuff with him.

Can’t stand that voice over voice and the theatrics. Just get on with it.

This fight is like watching a featherweight facing a cruiserweight.

Those thick fûckèrs that believe that size doesn't matter should be feeling incredibly embarrassed right now.

AJ's excessive weight and damaged nose will affect his stamina significantly if the bout somehow makes it past the sixth round.

Is this a fixed fight?

Showtime quickly flashed scorecards before the fight began that read 117-111 x2 and 116-112. Joshua has never had a fight see the cards. What was this?

I tossed $50 on a Joshua DEC +1000 when I saw this.

Takam is clearly going for the obvious strategy. Foresaking the scorecards in order to attack a stamina-drained version of AJ during the later rounds.

Scorecards for Whyte vs. Helenius?

strange but why would they fix a fight vs takam? plus big part of ajs draw is his power showings, and decision might hurt him there.

Nope.

i think Takam will be the one that gasses out earlier than AJ, he jumps and moves a lot

Bad cut for Takam. An early stoppage seems inevitable.

that cut is bad - i think round 5 may be the last one

Great learning fight for AJ.

Takam is tough - Joshua seems a little bit deconcentrated in this fight

Kudos for Takam for continuing. Think AJ wants to really hurt him for the butt. Sensibly pacing himself.

i would like to see Joshua fight Povetkin more than Wilder

Joshua's work rate has dipped. I don't know if he's simply picking his shots, whilst looking for the KO, but he is noticeably throwing fewer shots.

Joshua is dominating the scorecards, but if Takam can cope with his shots, then what happens during the later rounds?

yeah Joshua looking worse than in his recent fights

with his style and toughness, i wouldnt be surprised to see prepared Takam beat Wilder

As much as I hate Mike Tyson, Joshua would have been KO'd by now by Tyson. I can see now why Joshua doesn't want Wilder right now.

this fight doesnt prove that AJ is overrated - it proves that Takam is very underrated

Takam is prepared. They expected to fight him and not chickenshit Pulev. He was notified to begin camp when the fight was announced.
