    Dubois didn't want that long white cloud of smoke.

    I'm sure Dubois is actually ill rather than ducking, but it looks like Bakole should have ducked Parker :)

    - one happy Kiwi

    Surely if it is a genuine illness the fight gets rescheduled now. Parkers just done a round and a half and dubois just needs time to recover from illness.

    Unless a usyk v dubois fights already been signed. Suspect thats the real reason behind it all.

    People blaming bakole for it but what really happened with dubois. If genuine illness....surely dubois v parkers is still up next.

    Hey now, I said I thought he was genuinely sick. I normally try to take things at face value and assume people are acting in good faith.

    Saying that though, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious if the Usyk fight gets made quickly, especially with the rumors of a bad camp on Dubois'end and Parker looking as sharp as he was.

    Parker ducked Okolie who was already in training and close by. Okolie said had he been chosen he would have knocked Parker out. I believe him.

    Parker chose an opponent who had to do all that travelling and arrive on the fight day when Okolie was already close by and had been training. Okolie said he’d have knocked Parker out had he been the one in there and I believe him.

    You are crack up bro, 100% you would be saying the same about Bakole if Parker had taken on Okolie and beaten him.

    No I rate Okolie and unlike Bakole he was in training and in decent shape preparing for his April fight. Okolie can beat Parker in my opinion. They should fight next.

    You can't possibly believe Okolie the Octopus would beat Parker! What drugs are you on son?

    Okolie would actually be an opponent who is hungry and on the come up stage at the heavyweight division. He’s ready to make his mark and be hot right now.

    That’s completely different to finished Wilder, unfit short notice Bakole and old man Zhang who is limited due to age. Parker hype is way out of control.

    Okolie was killing himself at lower weights too he’s a massive guy. He’ll be better at heavyweight than Cruiserweight.

    Bakole was ranked higher by every single organisation. Even now Bakole would have a good chance to beat Okolie if they fight later in the year. Put a poll up on this site if you don't believe.

    That's cute. Because if Parker fought Okolie instead ,you would have said he was ducking Bakole.
    Parker took the most dangerous opponent offered, and most were yet again picking Bakole to win.

    Take your L and quit crying.
