    Think about it: You have notorious sparring storyteller Bakole coming from being obliterated in two and a questionable draw, with many fans screaming robbery versus Lil' Gas Tank which idk how much has left and has been looking like a four round fighter lately, staying silent after the Kabayel defeat. I would love to see these corpulent warriors go to war, takin' each other seriously I hope and training with gloves not forks, it would be fun until it lasts.

    The Kabayel loss was competitive. Whereas Bakole's two losses he looked like ****. I favor Zhang in this one. :chuck:

    Was the Kabayel loss competetive? Yeah he got dropped but Zhang was being battered from pillar to post

    I think he did incredibly well to carry on as long as long as he did. Kabayel landed dozens of inch perfect body shots

    Before Bakole lost to Parker I thought this was a bad style match up for Bakole and he would get the Joyce treatment.

    I still believe that unless Zhang really starts to age overnight or the recent loss he's had has effected him.

    It was 3-2 before the stoppage. Zhang won the first and the fifth.

    I think if Zhang was 5 years younger he would beat Bakole, but not now.

    I just think Bakole has more bigger bang than Zhang. I could be wrong. Would love to see it.
