<p>He did well to get silver ,,but have you ever watched that fight against Holyfield ? One of the luckiest wins you could ever see .<br><br>
Holyfield was completely dominating and was controversely disqualified .</p>

<p>Totally, but for a kiwi to get to the point of even getting in the ring with Holyfield is huge.</p> -

<p>No doubt Barry was getting pumped, but Holyfield had been warned 6 times during the fight for punching after the referee had yelled "break"</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It should be noted that after being named the winner, Barry held up Holyfields hand to show who had really won the fight. </p> -
Yeah I wasn't trying to take anything away from him , but measured in pure ability , that was a very lucky silver medal. <br><br>
On Takam , dont be fooled this isn't a huge challenge , he is so far in front of the other fighters Joseph has fought it's not funny . <br><br>
Joe has basically been fighting chumps that don't hit back , Takam has the full range of punches high work rate, and goes the distance . <br><br>
if Joeseph blows him away his profile goes to a completly new level internationally -

<p>I just don't get how that equates to his recent fights.</p> -
You mean the loss ? That was a brutal fight , voted the heavyweight fight of the year in 2014

<p>This is a big step up for JP but he is as ready as he'll ever be.</p>
<p>I get annoyed about people complaining about the standard of fighters he has fought on his way up- everyone does it Mike Tyson fought the same types of bouncers and taxi drivers, Tua as well. Its just the process, build a win KO ratio to make him financially promotional.</p>
<p>If he wins this well we won't see him fighting again in NZ I hope because he should be in UK / US making the big $.</p>
<p>He comes across as a top bloke , dedicated and focused .... win lose or draw I'm a supporter</p> -

<p>No, his last fight was 8 rounds against this bum and could only get a decision.</p>

<p>If you wanna watch that fight it's on you tube in full. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The braziliian spent most of the fight trying not to get hurt, so no suprise he didnt knock him out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've watched a few of Takams fights over the last 3-4 weeks getting ready for this, likes to keep his hands down by his side, leaving his head exposed. Parkers got great fast hands and will be looking to exploit this.</p> -

<p>I was talking about the loss he had against povetkin , that was a brutal war against a top 4 ranked fighter </p> -
<p>I .posted it once before , great fight , </p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<p> </p>
<p>Joe should end up better , but so far Takam is the one that has fought at the higher level </p> -
<p>would also appreciate a pm :good1:</p>
-
<p>Keep your right-hand up Joe, good to see Parker switching up tactics as Takam is handling the jab nicely.</p>
