Terrible promotion. Didn't even realise it was on today. Should be a good fight, as per DAZN: Date : Saturday, May 14 Time : 2 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. BST ringwalks (approx): 6 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. BST The main card is scheduled to get underway at 2 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. BST with Yoka vs. Bakole ringwalks scheduled for 6 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. BST. These timings could change due to the length of the other bouts
Bakole grinds down and stops Yoka in 6. He won't be able to deal with the pressure, volume and the power.
Eh, so what, he's 10 pounds lighter than he was in his last outing. Clearly his excess weight doesn't slow him down all that much. People have a tendency to forget, Bakole has the slightly better resume of these two, he beat Kuzmin on points and he stopped Wach, Hernandez, Johnson and Perea, all fairly iron chinned guys, and he did so with relative ease. His combination are very fluid, and he applies non stop steady pressure. Who has Yoka beaten that puts him levels above Bakole? Bakole would handle Allen, Duhaupas, Milas and Hammer with little to no problem. Yoka's skillset isn't that superior, and he isn't that elusive. Hell... Kuzmin would probably beat all of his opponents as well. Look, it won't shock me if Yoka wins, but the fact that it will shock a lot of you if Bakole wins, I actually find shocking.
It wouldn't shock me, Yoka is a garbage can, what shocks me is Bakoles pathetic diet and weight management. I would love to see him KO the tomato can.
Both need to raise the game for fight or no fan will become interested in seeing winner progress to contender for world title level . This fight = both man chance to make impress & make mark on boxing
