10/28 Showtime: Anthony Joshua vs Carlos Takam (WBA/IBF Heavyweight Championship)

[David_TheMan]

Fury actually already turned down a fight with Wilder back in 2013/2014-ish when Wilder was with Golden Boy...

And you can't blame Wlad for taking Joshua over Wilder, the financial worth of those fights for Wlad are a league apart.

Hence why it would've been a better career move for Wilder to sign with a European promoter and base himself over there...he could've possibly got to Wlad before Fury, thereby putting himself in much better position to get much bigger fights.

Wlad didn't want to fight Wilder, it is simple.
Most people want nothing to do with Wilder because he is a scary fight prospect with his size and power and athleticism.
Same way people today feel they got to dope up before they face him

He rocked him with an uppercut and two right hands. How was he fading?

I agree that he should have let him continue but where was he fading. I didn't see it.

He was getting tired,he landed a cool shot that didnt do alot,takam was fine,made him miss following shots and dude stopped it for nothing. You can play stupid if you want though.

Didn't do a lot? Takam stumbled like shyt.

I'm not saying he was on his way out or was going down but he felt that shyt.

You typically feel every punch in a heavyweight fight.
That was a terrible indefensible stoppage, just own up to it

femi needs up his road work..tone down on the lifting..pre wlad fight he was leaning out and looking good physically...254 is too damn high for him

What is there to own up to? I've already stated that the stoppage was premature. That doesn't take away the fact that Takam took about 4 solid shots that sent him to the ropes.

He shouldn't be any bigger than 243. 254 is way too much.

Missed the fight... So did the middle-aged man killer say Wilder's name at all during the post fight interviews??

Refs stopped Wilder's fight against Duhaupas and dude had never even been down in the fight. Don't see much of a difference between that stoppage and this one

 

[merklman]

LOL
A-sides don't need a british stoppage to beat a man on 12 days notice.
Nah Wilder has a chance next week and his next fight to jump ahead of AJ.
If I"m wilder I look for the Parker fight and try to get his belt after bermane, if AJ still doesn't want it, fight Takam and take him out properly.

Takkam was solid but this 12 days thing . . . Takam was contracted as standby with matchroom once the Pulev fight was signed. .

Ref stoppage was premature i agree. Wilder is no A-side, not by a long shot while he can only draw in fukking Alabama

AJ making 10x more per fight than Wilder, why go to the states to fight for peanuts. Wilder can come to wembley if he wants it. Doesnt matter who Wilder wants - everyone at HW will want that AJ payday, so Parker's next. . .

Great stoppage by the ref

I made $850 off that 10-12 round stoppage spread

Yall leave that ref alone
