    Not a great fan of Joshua but would love him to win this to shut up his critics.Even then though they would demean his victory, although they all predict he would lose.If i am wrong i will gladly hold up my hand and admit it.No excuses hope all the naysayers will do the same

    Will you give Joshua props if he splatters Bakole though?

    Good fight if it happens.

    Not sure who wins. Bakole has lead feet and a questionable gas tank. I could quite easily see AJ trying to pull off a Ruiz II type performance: lots of movement, keeping it at distance, not committing fully to his shots.

    On the other hand, Bakole has decent timing and doesn't mind throwing when his opponent throws. This has always been one of AJ's biggest weaknesses; getting tagged when he throws.

    Added to this, I've no idea what AJ has left, physically or mentally.

    Hopefully, the fight comes off. I hate it when aging past champions / money makers go on their retirement tour of killing time fights against low level opposition whilst they wait for a big money fight against another aging boxer.

    lmfao like Bakole, a 6'6'' man mountain champing at the bit who can cut off the ring is remotely comparable to a sub 6' morbidly obese Mexican who had spent the previous few months gorging on rubbish and spending most of his time blowing all of the money he had earned, as well as reportedly doing the dirty on his wife who called him a "slob".

    Joshua is more than capable of outboxing Bakole he is the better boxer by some distance. Martin on the other hand is more than capable of knocking Joshua out. Bakole on the Billy Nelson munchie box nutrition program could easily make the 350lb.

    After Parker, Wlad, Ruiz, Povetkin? The king of sparring would be his best win? He would definitely be Fury's best win since Wladimir i know that. Good Afternoon troll.

    Really

    Paint Dry, Old Man, Spud and Old Man - the bar is set very low.

    Fair play if AJ take this, it's hard to know what Bakole is, but it does appear a more risky option than some

    Still expecting a British Heavyweight Title fight Joshua against Whyte.

    To be fair, Bakole is a 60 year old spud.

    Yeah the Bakole fight just sounds too good to be true. I'm expecting Joshua Vs Whyte. Really not interested in that fight in the slightest though.
