Bakole replaces Dubois

Surely they photos of Bakole aren't real ?


He's a fat ******* man, he'll be breathing out his hoop after 2 rounds.

And the rest. Good on both of them. Good fight, I hope Bakole is in semi decent shape

 

Deserves every penny, Parker is a true fighting man.

 

Man I'm hoping Bakole has been in training and in relatively good shape. If he is then I believe he will batter Parker. Really looking forward to this, probably more then Dubois against Parker. I'm a big fan of Bakole and this his opportunity now.

 

same but he's a fat **** mate, in awful nick

 

When is the weigh in?

 

i It's supposed to start about two hours from now.

 

That's not good to hear. I've seen that photo of him going around what was apparently from a day or 2 ago and he looked awful, I was hoping it was old or something. Guess we will see in a couple of hours at the weigh in.

 

Good question as he turns 36 this year and has wasted yet another 6 months of his career out of the ring since his previous fight.

He should have jumped at this opportunity but disappointingly he may have retired mentally after what was an out and out demolition job in his previous fight.

Eddie Hearn is smart and probably waiting to arrange a fight with one of the older fighters in the division most likely targeting the winner of Whyte v Joyce or even Chisora in his final fight.

 

Uncle Frank says he’s probably not going to be there in time for the weigh in today. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

 

How do you see the fight going mate?

 

I think Bakole is a beast but still quite unproven because he finds it hard to get good fights. I think Bakole won’t be in good shape so I have to edge with Parker on this. I’m not confident in this though.
I’ve dropped a massive b0llock this weekend and am away with the family so will have to try to stay off the forum and news and watch bits of the card as and when I can.
Hope you enjoy the card mate.

 

I see it going like a repeat of the Parker v Zhang fight. Bakole will give Parker problems, like Zhang did, but his conditioning will let him down and Parker will be able to nick enough rounds through activity.

 

Bakole was in such a good position with IBF he was a certainty to beat Ajagba and then get a shot as IBF enforces the mandatories. If he loses this due to being out of shape it would be a real travesty as he will be pushed out the picture again but Billy Nelson must be delighted presumably taking a management and trainer's fee from Bakole who must be getting a career high purse. After many years as a superb trainer Billy Nelson now gets his flowers.
