Martin Ilunga completely outclassed Dubois in their recent sparring session.

He’s no longer active unfortunately, he was chased away by moronic trolls who abused him non stop in the British section.

 

I thought he did.

It's a shame when a British top trainer or any trainer for that matter comes to converse and is effectively chased away.

 

Bakole is still a little sloppy at times, and sometimes even lethargic. But when he's at his best, he's one of the best HW prospects out there right now. All SORTS of potential. Powah, solid fundamentals, and FAST hands. - But he also knows how to throw slower, so as to keep his opponent from timing him. Just, sometimes he does that too much.

He delivers solid body shots without ever looking down or telegraphing them in any way. (Easily the best body puncher in the division.)
- And that hooking right cross! Lovely.
He also knows how to use his height, always keeping his head back & safe.

FWIW: Supposedly, he's now training in Scotland, with Billy Nelson. (Ricky Burns)
------------------------

Dubious? He's very good, no argument from me. Solid fundamentals & powah for days, but IMO he's destined for "solid gatekeeper" status. He's just too slow & stiff, and that's not something that can be improved too much with training. . He'll be one of those guys that's fed easy opponents, to fatten his record and eventually make a nice payday, as an easy opponent himself for one of the top 2 heavies.

 

GO ON BIG MARTIN BAKOLE!!!

ive never seen him fight but he seems like a great fella so that's a good enough reason to change my avatar. We need some more Povetkin/Price nights to reunite this forum! Martin can be that man!

 

I hope you never serve on a jury....

 

Despite my scant regard for the source of this revelation, I will say Dubois just has 'one of those faces' that suit a KO. I don't mean a stopped-on-his-feet or counted-out-getting-up kind of finish, I mean the horizontal, floppy faced, crossed and glazed eyed kinda knock out only revived from with oxygen.

 

Anyone who thinks Dubios would probably beat Bakole (short of a robbery decision) simply isn't paying attention.

 

It's sparring.

Nobody cares.

 

So the sparring champion got his belt took?
