    Looks set to happen, this is quite an intriguing fight considering the relative hype around both guys. Sink or swim for both fighters

    Yoka by dodgy decision.

    I’m picking Yoka to stop Bakole.

    Good fight, leaning towards Bakole to get the win.

    Yoka’s got a suspect chin and at times hammer was roughing him up, but the problem I see for bakole is he likes to fight as the big man like in the kuzmin fight when he actually used his reach advantage and kept kuzmin at end of jab he bossed the fight.

    but bakole is the smaller man in there and I think yoka will just end up out boxing him but with a few hairy moments in between.

    really good fight though.

    Very good match up. I hope Bakoles team have VADA testing in place, if not its criminal against Yoka.

    A fairly standard points win for Yoko imo

    Bakole has disaponted massively after all the gym stories that were leaked

    Bakole has to knock him out. He's not winning it on points and I suspect Yoka's team just see him as a stepping stone anyway. Yoka isn't going to try to engage him in a firefight and will aim to just keep popping him with the jab. Would love to see big Martin chin him.
