THe odds went against Takam when the French lost the purse bid. But that's the way the cookie crumbles, may have been a little different if fight was done in France don't you think.
It may have been a bit different if Takam threw more punches, if you put that fight anywhere on the planet Takam still loses
Sure James, that particular fight has Jo the winner. Could the fight have been different if was in Takam's hometown where Takam had all the bells and whistles and the promotion held in his honor and rise to fame in the fistic world.. JP would have been the odd man out, not speaking French and up against the poster boy. Would Jo have excelled in that scenario as he obviously did here. There are obvious reasons why duco wanted the fight here, and good on them. The fight was closer in reality than 116-112 suggests.
