Parker vs Takam - April 17th
-
It's only an interim title , fury holds the real one , not intending to take anything away from him but it's not the ridgy didge one
-
One thing daddy brown has in his favour is Ricky Hatton as a manager who is well connected . <br><br>
That goes a long way in the area of negotiation -

<p>No looking like any negotiation now as Brown has reportedly failed a drug test and will supposedly be stripped of his title.</p> -

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">Heavyweight up-and-comer Joseph Parker and battle-tested Carlos Takam will meet in a world title eliminator on May 21 at the Vodafone Events Centre in Auckland, New Zealand, Parker's hometown, Duco Events, Parker's promoter, announced on Tuesday.</p>
<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);"><strong>The winner of the fight will become the mandatory challenger against the winner of the April 9 fight between American world titleholder Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs) and British star Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15 KOs). The mandatory fight is due no later than Jan. 16, 2017.</strong><br><br>
Martin/Joshua is on at the O2 tomorrow which will be massive. Just got offered tickets thru work which I've had to turn down unfortunately. But should be a cracker. Pathway to Joshua-Parker by the end of the year, for one of the belts, is only 2 fights away. Then winner of that gets to fight Fury/Klitschko and have a shot at unification. Exciting. </p> -
<p>AJ blasted Martin out in 2 rounds. Martin was hopeless, didn't even land a punch on AJ and didn't look capable as a heavyweight at all. Interesting that none of the several boxing experts on sky tv UK rate Parker. They all have Takam winning and taking AJ 6 rounds in a mandatory challenge.<br><br>
Really want Parker to beat Takam and shut these guys up.<br><br>
Parker would of beat Martin tonight easy as well. Really scary when you look at how the heavyweight division is shaping up,<br><br>
Wilder<br>
Fury<br>
AJ<br>
Ortiz<br>
Povetkin<br>
Klitskcho<br>
Haye</p>
<p>Ustinov<br><br>
Some super fights there, Parker will really need a strong performance over Takam (who is legit top 10 talent better than Martin) just to get any prime time love. In my mind Ortiz could possibly be the best of the lot.<br>

Itll be interesting to see how these odds stand up to other markets once the fight venue/country is decided.</p></blockquote>

Odds update...<br><br>
Takam out to $4.50 now and Parker as a short as $1.20<br><br>
So much value in that Takam emotional hedge -
<p>Those odds are like Warriors vs Manly last night<br><br>
Warriors $1.22<br>
Manly $2.88</p> -
I watched Joshua smash Martin this morning without needing to show his hand or build up a sweat. He's holding all the cards right now.<br><br>
I have a bad feeling about Takam . I saw a video today from Joshua, who is a bit of an unlikely advocate for Parker, saying that Takam is a bit of a mystery. He knew some guys that had sparred with him and the opinion was he was very strong and could take a beating.<br><br>
2 ways to look at that. Taking a beating could mean that is what he expects to see. Parker beating him up. Or he will be there at the end.<br><br>
I like Joshua. Hes intelligent and charismatic. Strangely he doesnt come across as cocky. <br><br>
Parker is starting to believe his own hype a we bit. Hes obviously trying to sell himself and there has to be a lit of self belief in his sport. But he just looks, to me, like someone that is reading his own press and theres too many yes men around him. His swagger is fake, looks forced. False bravado.<br><br>
Hope im wrong. <br><br>
