Having seen the fight it’s pretty obvious an in condition Bakole would have knocked Parker out

    I'm not giving him the full credit. I'm just pointing out that it's only your opinion that Bakole would have beaten him if he was in tip top shape. MAYBE, just maybe, he would have been hit with the same picture perfect shot and went down, but Billy Nelson would have let him continue and Parker would have finished the job and sparked him out. But again, wouldas don't exist.

    No Parker needs to beat someone who fits those categories:

    - best days not behind them and fire in the belly not gone yet

    - somebody that isn’t an old man who’s lost there athleticism

    - somebody ready to make there mark and be hot right now e.g. Hrgovic, Kabayel and Okolie

    - somebody fitting the upper criteria that has actually had a full training camp scheduled to fight with proper notice

    Dubois absolutely did fit the bill but got ill unfortunately but for some reason Parker became an even bigger hypejob after beating an unprepared Bakole.

    He is like the reverse Aydamn - the legend who was in love with Dillian Whyte.

    Your MO is clear. Doesn't matter what Parker does, you'll find anyway to discredit him. You aren't objective or fair in any sense. You just hate Parker for some weird obsessive reason. You're more a troll than anything else here.

    Yeah, I can argue that DDD's run is shyte as well:

    -Overweight Miller taken on 3 weeks notice.
    -Sick Filip Hrgović.
    -Glass jaw AJ that has been finished since 2019

    Nope you’re wrong I’m waiting for Parker to get one real win that proves he really is up there right now. My issue is how hyped he’s become due to his last 3 wins. Had he not been overhyped and people not acted like he is owed a world title shot and that he’s apparently go so much better then I’d be ok with it.

    :lol: Dubois, really?
    Hrgovic - On his best day he barely beat a 39 year old Zhang. The outcome of this one was heavily debated.
    Miller - Career PED cheat, 35 years old, and weighed 333 pounds!
    Joshua - Now in his mid 30s, and has not beaten a top 10 opponent in over 5 years. Clearly past his best.

    Like I said before, you took umbrage with fan support of Parker, and so go the hater route. You aren't waiting for Parker to do anything, because you'll just 'Asterix' it anyway. You aren't fooling anyone.

    Miller - a hungry unbeaten opponent who’s spirit hadn’t been broken yet so at this point he’d offer the most resistance compared to after having his heart broken which Dubois did

    Hrgovic - a hungry unbeaten opponent who was ready to be make his mark and be hot right now but Dubois broke his heart too

    Joshua - world class fighter who got beat by a career best performance by Dubois

    You aren't. You're inconsistent with your ratings for those you like. And honestly, a waste of time. You're Miniq level....

    I thought whilst the fight lasted, Bakole looked decent in there especially in the first round.

    But, I'm not massively convinced that such little preparation played that much of role in what happened. If it was a long-run fight approaching the championship rounds where Bakole faded and faded then got gradually worn down and stopped. Or after like six rounds where Bakole got beaten up all fight then the preparation may have been more of a factor there.

    I'd have expected stamina to be more of an issue than chin in this type of situation.

    Then again, I hate making excuses but at the same time I do respect Bakole a lot for taking such a dangerous fight on like two days notice.

    Miller was undefeated and threw punches with motivation to make him mark while Wilder was finished and didn’t throw a punch

    Hrgivic beat Zhang and was unbeaten

    Joshua had a full camp and was heavy favourite while Bakole was tired and unprepared

    Those are the facts.
