    Bakole can't get into Usyk's head, I wouldn't have anything against this fight, but Usyk would school him...

    He'll need to do more than sit on the sidelines yelling threats, he needs to fight! ,,beating another good challenger will push his name into the conversation with Parker and Dubois for a shot at Usyk.

    They mentioned it’s probably Ajagba next for Bakole.

    Get in line. He is at least behind the winner of Dubois-Parker, and the winner of Zhang-Kaybeyal, and even that is debatable. A win over Jared Anderson is a good START towards a title run. It doesn't get you there.

    Love Bakole but he needs to rematch Usyk's son Michael first before he knocks on the castle door of the King. Michael stopped him, Usyk came within a whisker of stopping Michael and most refs likely would've waved that off

    Triangle theories don't work tho. Despite that, I think Usyk would outpoint, possible stop Bakole, due to his subpar footwork. Martin is a good puncher, has deceptively fast hands, but his feet are really slow.

    I think this is a done deal. Unfortunately for Ajagba.

    Bakole Ajagba might be a fun watch, but don't go to the bathroom or kitchen.

    Usyk just said he is in the 240's. He's done with boxing.

    Bakole is calling out everyone and putting his sparring stories out there

    However he just needs to continue looking devastating and KOing people

    The Jared Anderson KO was a good start

    Throw Usyk in with Bakole/Zhang or Dubios he is one punch away from getting stopped, don't care what anyone says.

    Usyk has used all his god given toughness points absorbing that big overhand from Chisora and them Fury uppercuts. No points left at 38+. Get out while he still can.

    He might fight Dubious if he sees him as one dimensional pickings...Dubious was finished in that fight only once his stmaina went, can't rely on that again.

    You may disagree, but I hope Parker beats Dubois to set up a big fight with usyk. If Parker beats Dubois he solidifies himself as the second best fighter in the division and arguably second best these last few year.

    It would also be nice for usyk to have another name on his record. I don't know why, but I just think Parker would be the bigger scalp. Usyk will not only have beaten Dubois, but the man who beat Dubois and we all saw what Dubouis did to Aj

    It would be be nice to see Usyk in with Fresh blood and it's a different match up, I rate parker

    Not relevant to the thread, but this is what I would like to happen next

    Nearly 6 months since he beat Anderson and still no date for his next fight Ajagba or otherwise. C'mon big bad Bakoke get fighting man.
