    The rhythmic flow of Bakole's blubber as he danced around the ring could be synchronised to a beats tune for nice effect.

    Does anyone know where this ranks among the ATG RBR threads?

    Bakole was so jet lagged his knockdown had a lag.

    Well he wasn't hit on the chin. Was one of those weird top of the head shots. Did the corner stop it? I would classify that as a Jet lag ko. Disappointing as Bakole was just starting to look dangerous. Meh.

    Parker's the "We! Are! Sparta!" warrior Fury likes to imagine himself as.

    Damn, I have to go to dinner with wifey. But I'm going to predict Beterbiev wins again.

    Bivol has lost his O. Maybe in his mind his invincibility is gone. He may push to do better this time and that may lead to AB KO'ing him.

    Yep, nobody is more deserving of a shot at Usyk. Wilder, Zhang and now Bakole, he's faced 3 of the most feared punchers in the division and won in style in all three fights. He's clearly the number 1 contender for the title with AJ losing and Fury having already had two attempts to beat Usyk.

    Have to say this card has been a mixed bag for me.

    Smith/Buatsi
    Zhang/Kabayel

    Very good fights.

    Ortiz/Madrimov was solid.

    The rest......

    Bakole/Parker bizarre ending and disappointing.

    Stevenson/Padley meaningless fight.

    Adames/Sheeraz rubbish fight.

    Bivol/Beterbiev 2 needs to be a memorable fight because the last 3 fights were rubbish.

    Very true.

    But I'm sure we'll still see some entertainment from him

    I said bad decision by Bakole but I cant blame him. He's literally a millionaire. Good for him. Boxing is rough.
