Juarez chosen to make Castro look good. Castro can get a KD, maybe a TKO... and look entertaining in the process even though he lacks power.

Forrest is imo a gifted HW who is under the radar. He lacks work rate but has surprisingly good hands and is athletically gifted. I think he can counter on the inside vs shittier HWs. Now Takam has work rate so he is good where Forrest lacks... just that should indicate Takam should be fav. But on the inside, Forrest is dangerous with counters!!

Robin out... Jared Anderson out...

The other prospect to keep an eye on on this one is Ortiz who has been looking good in PR.

[Ledhed]

Anderson vs Perez was scrapped. Perez unable to go; supposedly not COVID related.

always with the nice scoops and details Ledhed, appreciate your input as always!

[Tocsin]

They should make Anderson vs that Nigerian guy who won a few weeks ago

Solid performance for Takam. I didn't score it real close like I normally do, but the 97-93 score sounded about right to me.

Bumped Takam up a few notches in my Heavyweight rankings. Nothing huge, but it keeps him in the mix.

[jeff_lacy_ko]

Good win for takam. Keeps him at jobber to the stars status. Hrgovic is the logical next fight for him

[the13r]

Takam landed the big right early and Forrest didn't adjust... Forrest never worked hard and looked a slip second too slow under pressure... throwing not precise arm punches when Takam on the inside...

Takam needs to go after emerging names that have shaky stamina or chins

[jeff_lacy_ko]

The best fight for him is Efe which wont happen because Takam might beat him

[ForceFed_231]

I only caught the last two rounds of the Takam vs Forrest fight, both looked sloppy. Maybe it was fatigue at that point, but neither looked good.
