Carlos Castro put in some great work tonight. He fought an old Mexican Warrior with great IQ and excellent shot selection. Delivering to Juarez's body with force was always going to take his toll on an aging fighter. I like how focused Castro was tonight and I don't think he is far off fighting for a World Title at Super Bantamweight in the near future. He certainly has plenty of Boxing skill and his power seems to be improving with age too. Congrats Castro 👏👏🥊👊👍🤔

Jerry Forrest seems to have a lot of confidence, prior to stepping into the Ring with Carlos Takam this evening. I admire the fact that he has dedicated his life to Boxing at this stage of his life in order to try and earn the Golden ticket to the big time. However, even though Takam is 39 Years of age and has slowed down a little over the past couple of years, he his always in the gym, conditioned, ready to fight hard and willing to roll the dice and take opportunity... I expect to see a prospect Vs a World level Contender tonight and Carlos Takam to take the W. Personally, I would love to see Takam put it on Forrest tonight, to see how he copes with the pressure and a finish could definitely be on the cards... Takam 'pays the call to people'... 🥊👊👍🤔

Pretty comfortable for Takam so far. I'm a little surprised by his style of staying on the outside, picking Forrest apart. I was expecting more of the brawler who faced Chisora!!
I am slightly worried that Takam is going to gas out and get caught late

This is quickly turning into a sloppy Heavyweight clinch fest between 2 out of breath guys running out of ideas heading towards an inevitable decision.  YAWN!!!!

That could be a draw really. I didn't see the first three however.

Well Jerry Forrest didn't turn up anything like he said he would in the fighter meeting. If Takam has Won this by a clear UD then Jerry Forrest will never be granted that Golden Ticket... Levels to the game!! Takam Wins for me, I'm slightly surprised by Dre's Card... 🥊👊👍🤔

Takam won all the 1st rounds clearly Fish. So he should have this fight easily
