Throw him in with Hunter again then? Two Matchroom fighters. Should be fairly easy to make I'd imagine. Great fight for the fans.
I also think Michael Hunter is pretty good. It's not like he was some no hoper there just for a check.
Rumours are that bakole left AJ trembling on the canvas after one sparring session. But let’s see whether he can perform to that level under the lights or not.
But that could be explained simply by styles. Hunter has a very high work rate,big punch output and a wide variety of shots.He made Martin look clueless by moving around the target,using angles and letting his hands go. Wach is a big solid lumbering lump of a bloke with hardly any offense.Sitting target for someone like Bakole who is big but dynamic too. It could just be styles make fights.
It's not like Bakole was a million miles away in the Hunter fight either, was quite close for the first few rounds if I remember, was when he started saying he had issues with his arm. Hunter was one big shot away from being put away imo with how he fights against the HWs. I'd like to see a rematch down the line though, as others have said he is a very good fighter, so no shame losing to him.
Until he walks into a big left hook...he is a sitting duck for a left hook. Otherwise he is very solid I agree.
He complained about his arm, then proceeded to forget about his arm now and again and threw..Blatant blag imo, Hunter was just to good, a lot smaller as well
Exactly the same would happen to Pudding Whyte unless he landed the bingo punch. Usyk is also going be a nightmare for these puddings
