    I would love to see a decent humble fighter like Martin Bakole KO the pampered "Big Baby". Bakole hasn't had the privileges, with neither the top notch promotion nor the media hype. It would be poetic justice for him to win, and Anderson to be humbled.

    Anderson is extremely unlikable. He's so full of himself and arrogant it's sickening.

    BIG BALLED BAKOLE

    1 bodyshot of my man Bakole is setting the tone of this entire fight. Tear him in half.

    Americans havn't had a legit heavyweight forever they're not cut from the same stuff they used to be. Half of them are failed eggball or basketball athletes and that ain't changing any time soon. Poor attitudes on most of them. I seen this guy crying already.

    Bakole just lacks finesse and killer instinct & execution of it. Also his gas tank wains but he's a big man. ALSO Bakole is a part time boxer still not making enough dough to live a year round lifestyle which is poor.

    I guess we have to root for Anderson or it will be a "bad era" of boxing...

    Anderson because he has more potential and longevity due to age. Bakole isn't getting any better. He has gotten worse

    Bakole is inconsistent like Tyson Fury

    But having sparred Hughie "Shades of Ali" Fury in preparation for this bout he will no doubt be unstoppable.

    His killer instinct against Takam was very good last time. Finishing sequence was a thing of beauty

    Hopefully with it being on a neutral card we don't get any early stoppages from "unanswered" flurries.

    Good match-up

    Anderson all the way! But this is a fight that he can possibly lose if he doesn't take Bakole seriously.

    Bakole humbles the young man

    Same, don't care for either fighter.
    Hopefully the winner deserves it too, even in a good fight robberies or quick stoppages suck

    Team Bakole all day. The hype train for Anderson ends Saturday night.

    Any time a pampered undeserving overrated Top Rank hype job who they've violently shoved down everyone's throats gets leveled, it's a good thing. Especially when said hypejob is a mental midget who unraveled because he got rocked twice by Charles Martin, and a no good nickname stealer. Even though by the looks of it, Big Baby is far more apropos for this crybaby than it is for a legit hard man like Jarrell Miller. So Bakole mangling this clown will be extra sweet.

    Oh yeah, if it wasn't abundantly clear, not only am I predicting him to win, I'm also I'm rooting for Bakole.:sisi1

    I don't care for either guy but after seeing Anderson dancing like a soy boy at the press conference I will be rooting for Bakole.

    Anderson is not very likable, and this is coming from someone who really wants to like the guy. Give me Bakole.
