You mean the loss ? That was a brutal fight , voted the heavyweight fight of the year in 2014

[kidcalder]

<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>

[SammyC]

<p>Oh and he's hardly a bum Crucial, he's a tough veteran fighter who has fought for years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's fought several times for the Brazillian championship and is regarded as a guy who won't go down easy</p>

<p>I was talking about the loss he had against povetkin , that was a brutal war against a top 4 ranked fighter </p>

[kiwiinmelb]

<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>

This thread needs a name change. <br><br>
If anyone knows a way I can watch this without feathering Lonergans pockets a PM would be the best way to tell me.

And updates

[Crucial]

Main bout meant to be around 10.45 according to the rugby Comms

[Paekakboyz]

<p>would also appreciate a pm  :good1:</p>

[Crucial]

<p>I can't get a feed going but following comments on Stuff tracker.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First round apparently even. Each landing shots.</p>

[Crucial]

<p>Second round called as just Parker.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If this goes the distance it could be a complaint of hometown call.</p>

[Paekakboyz]

<p>Keep your right-hand up Joe, good to see Parker switching up tactics as Takam is handling the jab nicely.</p>

[Crucial]

<p>JP getting some combos in but Takam taking them without problem.</p>

[Crucial]

<p>Sounds like JP will need to remain patient and accumulate points while trying to break Takam down.</p>

[Paekakboyz]

<p>yeah, and hopefully that constant pressure keeps Takam quiet. But these guys are big boppers so it only takes one punch...</p>

[Rembrandt]

Great watch so far

[kiwiinmelb]

some concerns for me , joseph mouth wide open , looks a bit gassed

[Paekakboyz]

<p>Joe is looking gassed - hang in there bro!</p>
