You can watch it at Bakole's story at Instagram that he is exactly the same height as Lennox Lewis. Lewis has much higher platforms on his shoes compared to Bakole, but you should take into consideration that people lose about half of inch at his age, so younger Lewis and current Bakole with the similar platforms on their shoes would likely be the same height exactly
Prime Joshua can outboxed Martin because he have much better footwork and stamina. Bakole is lazy in the ring and he looks best when someone go with him "toe to toe". But today we dont know what Dubois lost done to Anthony and how he will look when he comeback. In Dubois fight he looks bad from the begining. He looks like he was scared and blocked. His moves was slow and his reaction also was bad. He should never be catch with that first punch which put him down because that was easy to avoid type of punch. Later he was wobbled and shocked soo he dont fight on his normal level. He dont need Bakole fight now because end of the day he got very quick and heavy hands. This fight wont happend before fight with Fury. But still I think if AJ still got some of his past class Bakole should be easier opponent than agresive Dubois.
Yup. AJ would give us all another in ring lesson on how to perfect a headstand whilst KOd again, superb entertainment!!
The best AJ beats the best Bakole. I dunno if we will ever see that AJ again but he has the tank to box for 12 rounds. Bakole isn't quick enough and is alarmingly easy to hit, dare I say it, hes a little overrated based on little evidence. I'd not be surprised if AJ stopped him late...y'all heard it here first.
I mean, a fight with Fury won’t be easy on AJ, but he’ll go the distance at least. I’d actually expect it to be kind of boring, with Fury winning a comfortable UD. Maybe Fury gets knocked down once, but that’s about all the excitement that would happen. Bakole? Just no. Might do permanent damage to AJ. For **** money. The highest reward lowest risk (for the money) for both AJ and Fury is to fight each other. It’s so logical at this point, and Turki is even on board, that I don’t see how it doesn’t happen.
im much more confident in Bakole being able to take some shots from AJ than the other way around. Looked like AJ’s chin was just gone in that last fight.
Interesting. I assume AJ is fighting Fury though? To be a fly on the wall and hear to what Turki has in mind for Bakole this year.
I get why Bakole is doing this but why in God's name would AJ even contemplate fighting him now? Bakole might have a higher ranking but he's high risk low reward, isn't a big name, and doesn't hold a belt. AJ can just rematch Dubois for the title for way more money and try and avenge his loss in the process if he wants to take a risk like that against a huge puncher Or he can just fight Belly for an absolute fortune It makes no sense for AJ at all
I'd favour Bakole now but they have sparred each other loads and Bakole is easy to hit and if AJ landed the bomb first, what with him being one of the biggest punchers in the division, he's more than capable and powerful enough of knocking Bakole out and he's familiar with Bakole's style too
Absolutely. AJ was dreadful v Dubois and Dan fought the perfect hit and run mugging fight. But AJ CAN box. His second fight with Usyk seems a long time ago, but that AJ is a headache for any other heavyweight not called Usyk...
Aj should take this fight ASAP. Forget Dubois rematch thats an automatic L, triple D has his number. A win over Bakole would be a positive trajectory for his career because he's seen as the boogeyman
If he sits down on his punches then he risks AJ chinning him. AJ's way more powerful than Fury and Fury's chin isn't great either.
