Parker/Takam, viewing and predictions.

[diehard]

25KO's from 36 fights, Sham. But he does have power, just not top of the line power. As someone else said, he's more of a volume puncher. He goes to the body alot, and likes to trade. That's where I see Parker KO'ing him.

He didn't KO two top level fighters, Perez or TT. But I thought he was definitely in the fight with Povetkin until he got KO'd in the 10th. Against Povetkin, he was able to take Povetkin's punches, and hit Povetkin fairly easily.

I just think that Parker has the style to win this. As you say, whoever controls the distance controls the fight. And Parker better control the distance! Here's Takam's record: http://boxrec.com/boxer/355273
