DannyS Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Whats peoples thoughts? Hard to see past Josh again? AJ weighed in at over 18 stone which is his heaviest ever, so i would guess hes just gunna go in and try to blast him out in the first few rounds. He gassed pretty quick against klich and wasnt as heavy so could be dangerous. I dont no why but i fear an upset, if he doesnt get rid of Takam in the early rounds it could be trouble... Whats everyone's thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 On paper it looks like a routine defence. Complacency is Joshua's only worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 straightforward win. AJ's not one to get complacent. Katie Taylor's opponent has missed the weight, but the fight still goes on. The belt is on the line - but only if Taylor wins! If she takes the win, she takes the belt, but if Anahi Sanchez wins, the belt remains vacant. she'll get a pretty raucous crowd, so hopefully sh can take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetlee Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I was thinking about this earlier having read something about AJ's public 'nice man' image and then saw he was over 18 stone. I'm sure AJ with all his victories, some lightning quick, hasn't fallen into the Mike Tyson trap. AJ says he's hungry still, I hope so because Takam definitely is and his years have nearly run out...Tyson took his foot off the accelerator prior to the fight, put on weight, became a 'personality' and 'Old' Buster Douglas knocked him out in 10 rounds in Tokyo in February 1990. The impossible happened.. I'm sure AJ has the right mind set though and will beat Takam. Just hope he doesn't let it go too long and get caught by a desperate Takam.

Came into the Rahman seriously under-prepared and under-cooked. I'm not even sure he took McCall seriously either and the result is two losses that tarnish a legacy. The longer AJ stays hungry, the better. But time and increasing number of opponents beaten makes that tricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetlee Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Happily, looking at AJ, none of that extra weight is blubber, there's no spare tyre... If he catches Takam about right it could be early Good night Vienna for the 'ol kiddie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 3 rounds maximum, looking at takem on YouTube.not a big puncher and AJ will keep him off with a jab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novice cushie shooter Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I think joshua lost some confidence in the klitchko fight. seems to have lost his snap. Havin a broken noae dont help right enough. Takem deserves plenty credit. AJ needs him out soon. Like I said soon...ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 So who's next? Fury, Wilder or Parker? I doubt the Fury fight is on the cards any time soon. I'd like to see him take the tough route and take on Parker then Wilder. Plenty of people want to see wilder face Parker for the right to meet Joshua, but no one can question AJ if he takes them both on and beats them. Parker could be a tricky number too. He has no technique and no foot movement, but he does throw massive punches. It would be good to see AJ forced into fighting with his brain and not risk getting caught into a slugging contest where one shot can cost everything. AJ loves a brawl, but a brawl is the only way Parker can beat him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'd like to see him take out Parker first. Showcase some defence and some slight of foot. He needs to show he can avoid punches rather than just walk through them. That will be hugely beneficial for a complete unification with with Wilder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 He made hard work of beating a OK boxer that had 12 days to prepare for the fight and was 8 years older. , hardly a convincing win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry78 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Ref ruined it stopping it Takam showed some guts And glad to see Katie Taylor winning Here in Ireland shes well thought off Think if JOSHUA FIGHTS WILDER he will have to be at hes best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
