    In some African tribes the fattest man is seen as the fittest more breedable. Hence Bakole's size.

    Might be a boring 12 rnds since both coming in heavy. I hope not but I have a feeling it will be energy conserving fight with both fighting in spurts

    You may not like it but that’s what a peak male physique looks like.

    lol, yeah, it must be something like the gene which makes cilantro taste like soap but for boxing fans like me which makes Shakur enjoyable to watch.

    Bakole still carries his weight much better than Ruiz,

    Bakole is fat but looks like a brick shithouse.

    I can't agree with this - as a boxing fan you don't get to actually watch your sport anywhere near as much as, say, a football or tennis fan, and you just have to drink up the times when you can and make an event of it in cases like this. Though it does depend on the fights - the last two haven't exactly covered the sport in glory. If this next fight is the same I might be agreeing with you.

    Wait to jab to the body when bakole raises his arm then keep hitting him with body shots while bakole tries to keep his pants up. It's a proven strategy
