    It's official according to boxrec. Very interesting and hard to predict. Who do you got? Hunter looked good against Usyk but Illunga's brother looks really dangerous too! Very good fight for the HW division.

    Hunter kayo.

    I feel like I've seen this one before.

    When Hunter's dad fought Jimmy Thunder.

    Bakole is an A+ prospect, Hunter is no joke but Martin has the power to KO him and I think he will.

    I don't buy the hype with Bakole, even though I'm the first guy to notice and do a thread on him.:lol: Hunter is the better boxer and is skilled and savvy enough to survive a few rounds without being KTFO, and what happens when Bakole has to go deep, also I have a feeling he might have chin issues like his brother Junior.

    Yeah, I can understand Bakole being a big favourite, but I think people might be under-estimating what Hunter will bring.

    A good chin & skills for starters.

    Huge step up for Bakole Ilunga, but the first real heavyweight test for Hunter also. Going to tip Bakole by late KO in this one, if he has the discipline to show up in shape.

    Bakole will get exposed here.

    Hunter wins this.

    Hunter is a sloppy fighter and needs to work on his timing and defense for when he fights top competition again, but he shouldn't have any problems beating Ilunga, who seems inferior to his older brother.

    Damn that's a good fight. a massive step up for Bakole though, he's been in with nothing but bums. Lean towards Hunter based on what he's shown at world level but Bakole obviously has a chance to shine here and it would be foolish to count him out.

    Bakole may have conditioning issues.

    Actually a bit of an interesting bout.

    Hunter is gunna beat Bakole, Bakole is slow cumbersome and doesnt turn up in shape. He does have power though so if he clips Hunter with the right shot it will be all she wrote but Im going for Hunter.

    You think he is A+ plus, I dont see it bro. He has power and he throws his shot correctly but other than that what does he?
