Martin Bakole is looking for a fight. Torrez Jr. perhaps?

    Comeback fight for both guys. Lot of people in the boxing world think Torrez Jr. was exposed and has no chin. In his defense he was in against a slick Cuban in Sanchez, got caught, it happens. Live and learn, back to the gym harder then last camp. Anyways, I think its an intriguing fight, would be a good win on either side. Who would you favor?

    You want to put a guy with an apparent chin issue, who just got knocked out, in with Bakole? Great plan. I mean, if you want to build Bakole back up, great plan.

    I'd rather have Bakole vs Fury or Zhang (if Zhang still wants to fight).

    Bakole was supposed to fight Guido Vianello on the Giza card but Ben Shalom blocked it. That’s actually a really good fight for both guys.

    Big no no for Torrez. You want to wreck the guy permanently? Torrez should fight someone decent but with low power, Dacres maybe?

    Can't see Torrez fighting Bakole so soon after getting brutally knocked out.

    Yeah no kidding. Torrez is packing glass, Bakole would shatter that fragile mandible:


    Regardless of who he fights, count on Torrez taking some more canvas naps.

    Bakole seems to be under the impression that he has a lot more time at than he actually has. The guy is very talented but his strengths like his handspeed for a guy of such mass will fade with time. He’s like what, 34? Maybe even older?

    You mean he's not fighting Joshua in Africa?

    I thought that was DEFINITELY going to happen? People on this site always tell me AJ takes a ton of risk.

    The last four years alone we've seen:

    Jake Paul
    LOSS (KO) to Dubois
    0-1 Ngannou
    Wallin
    39 year old, 8 days notice Helenius
    Franklin

    I bet Joshua cancels his current fight to face the boogeyman Bakole.

    Why are AJ haters so pathologically obsessed with the guy? This had literally NOTHING to do with AJ and yet you only managed to talk about him lmao.

    How does the issue of who a heavyweight will fight next, when he has been extensively linked to another heavyweight, have NOTHING to do with the heavyweight to whom he has been linked?

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...-joshua-confirmed-for-the-summer-2025.732701/

    This was the only big fight talk for Bakole in the last few years besides occasional Dubois talk. A reasonable query into why it didn't happen has Joshua fans just besides themselves.
