If anything I was more disappointed with Takams performance, Parker is new and was expected to struggle in parts but Takam with his experience and being in his prime should of cleaned Farker... but he couldn't because he himself was gased and I believe his early tactics of staying out of range didn't do him any favours. It wasn't till mid rounds he started coming forward but by then he lacked stamina to finish.
Yeah I have no idea why he stood up between rounds, that was gamesmanship but it was stupid.
Takam was kind of low energy, but he's been in a lot of wars lately and he's 36 and fights a young mans style, maybe he's just on the downside of his peak now?
He was never bothered by Parkers power and Joe spend large portions of the fight wandering backwards to the ropes with his hands down and takam just ambled after him not really doing anything.
Poor from both really, but this was supposed to be a joseph parker showcase, so that's why i'm more dissapointed with him.
I watched the fight with 9-10 casuals live last night and all of them were unimpressed by Joe tbh, he done himself no favors but it might be good because it takes off some expectations.
