Heavyweight Division
Saw the first Usyk/AJ fight while on the Elliptical machine. AJ did more than box. He was throwing some big punches also. Usyk was just too crafty.

Yeah, I thought Fury was just messin' to get more $$$.

Takam defeats Yoka by split decision

42-year-old heavyweight Carlos Takam (40-7-1, 28 KOs) scored a ten round split decision over 2016 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Tony Yoka (11-2, 9 KOs) on Saturday night at Zenith Paris in Paris, France. Yoka never got untracked and Takam pressed him all the way to deservedly win 96-94, 96-94 on two cards. Yoka was somehow ahead 96-94 on the third card. Two straight losses for Yoka now, following his defeat to Martin Bakole last May. Yoka was a 6:1 favorite.

In a bout for the European light heavyweight title, unbeaten Dan Azeez (19-0, 13 KOs) broke down and stopped Thomas Faure (21-5-1, 2 KOs) in round twelve. No time announced. Tough gritty fight. Faure not happy about the stoppage.

Thanks bart. Yoka way over-rated. Good on Takam. Boring fight.

Yoka was poor
Pro game doesn't seem to suit him

Bakole trying to be relevant now his defeat of Yoka looks less impressive
Who would employ him as a sparring partner now as he is a story teller

No one. Wasn't Bakole with Fury and JP for awhile in the UK?

Something's not right about Usyk holding 3 of the 4 belts and getting only 30%. I know marketability and all, but damn.

Big Baby vs. Big Daddy on ProBox TV

ProBox TV has secured the American and Australian broadcast rights to Saturday’s heavyweight crossroads battle between undefeated WBA #10 Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (25-0-1, 21 KOs) and former WBA “regular” heavyweight champion and WBA #9 Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (31-3, 27 KOs). The catch is that current $1.99 monthly ProBox TV subscribers will NOT be able to access the fight. You have to upgrade to the $18 annual subscription (which is cheaper in the long run) to watch Miller-Browne.

Held at the Agenda Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the card also features a 10-round super featherweight co-main event between WBA #5- and IBF #11-rated former world title challenger Jono “King Kong” Carroll (23-2-1, 7 KOs) and three-time world title challenger Miguel “The Scorpion” Marriaga (30-6, 26 KOs). Also broadcast that night will be a 10-round cruiserweight battle between fast-tracking former amateur star Soslan “Cobra” Asbarov (3-0, 1 KO) and once-beaten American Brandon Glanton (17-1, 14 KOs).

Calling all the action will be commentator/ring announcer Ray Flores, along with former UFC star Tyron Woodley.
