    This would be a great fight, I'm backing Bakole 100% like I always have done.

    Great fight, but I think Zhang has quicker hands by just a hair.

    If it goes 6 or more, Bakole. If not, Zhang. There's my non-answer.

    Zhang drops a Great Wall on Bakole....later round. Zhang has much faster hands than Bakole, but who doesn't?
    And Big Bang can take a punch from anyone.

    Bakole knocks out a tired Zhang in the mid rounds after investing in the body early.

    Bakole would take Zhang to deep waters and he'll punch his face in....a lot.....and although Zhang may take them well, won't be able to move of the way, the ref may even way it off from taking too much.

    If Bakole can survive the 1st half of the fight, then I favor him in the later rounds by stoppage. That's a huge IF...

    Speed, power and stamina will all be for Bakole.

    I would love this fight

    Dude was not even breathing heavy and Anderson was pounding his belly and sides very well. This big man has a GAS TANK

    I doubt Bakole has more hand speed or Power than Zhang

    A repeat of the Joyce fight Bakole is a plodder with no defense. Joyce had a good chin and we all see what happened to him when he tried to come forward with no defense vs Zhang.

    Zhang by brutal KO.

    IDK— Bakole had that unexpected hand speed to be so BIG

    Zhang's hands are considerably faster, his straight left is very impressive.
