I thought Kuzmin beat him and I think he is a million miles away from being a top HW. He used an excuse for the Hunter performance but none for the Kuzmin one.
Bakole sort of reminds me of inferior version of Joyce at times. He's not exactly that fast and he does have slow feet but he is quite effective and has clubbing levels of power. Seems to have a reasonably decent chin on him, took some decent shots from Kuzmin in their fight. He has a decent jab - when he uses it and that's when his work flows and is good - everything off the jab. Gas tank looks decent also. Saw Yoka earlier on and was not impressed at all, not seen his recent fights but sounds like he's improved - clearly also a PED cheat.
