    I just don't see it, mate. Same with Anderson for that matter.

    Next undisputed heavy is going to be British.

    If Anderson beats him and does it in style then it will be by far his best win.

    Bakole, the Undisputed Sparring Champion seems to be a bit of a myth/boogeyman, without much to substantiate this reputation.

    Happy to be proved wrong though, as neither fighter has really done anything spectacular to warrant much hype.

    Am I missing something here?

    I thought Bivol v Beterbiev on Oct 12th was for the Undisputed?

    WBA regular title nonsense most likely bud. Puke in mouth. Anything for a sanctioning fee.

    Bakole's win over Yoka has aged badly given how crap Yokahas been since. His win against Takam isn't really a big deal, he's just had a fairly unremarkable career for the hype hasn't he. What seems telling is that both he and Hunter haven't rematched, surely Bakole would want to put that right if he thinks he's that good, the Heavyweight Sparring Champion Of The World ducking a blown up Cruiser.

    He does want to fight him again apparently. Hunters people don't want it... It does seem not many people want to fight Bakole. Joyce ducked him and fought Chisora. After tonight when he beats Anderson people will have to take notice of him.

    I think that's harsh. I get that the hype outweighs the achievement, but it's only fair to mention he doesn't have money behind him and the benefits that come from signing
    your life away to one of the big promoters. So he doesn't get the fights or the generous benefit of the doubt should it go to a decision.

    I hope he gets a decent chance to show what he can do. If he falls short, fair enough.

    Don't know why but I feel like Anderson is gonna be too quick even though Martin has the weight and power advantage.

    Gutted I've got to be up early tomorrow morning for a prior committment made.

    I very rarely stay up for US cards these days but would have made an exception for this one as there's some great fights on there.

    There's also the possibility that the Saudis wanted this fight or wouldn't let them put forward a soft touch for Anderson and the money was worth cashing him out for.

    Gotta say I'm hoping Bakole does it mainly for Billy Nelson who's put a lot of time effort and money into Bakole, would be nice for them to get a chance and a pay day

    Scrap that time I see this right has been moved up the card... I think man utd v Liverpool is on in America at same time as first 2 fights so maybe that's why they've been moved up card
