Now that we have seen Bakole step up how does he do against these HWs if he fought them in his next fight (over 10 rounds)? Price Gorman Joyce Dubois Chisora Can we all now agree to ignore all sparring “stories” in future too?
Price: I’d fancy Bakole by early KO. He doesn’t have much accuracy but Price is not a mobile target like Hunter was last night. Gorman: Big Nathan KOs Bakole, I have no doubt about that. One thing Bakole couldn’t cope with last night was the range of punches from Hunter who switched from body to head effortlessly. That’s Nathan’s forte and he’d blitz Bakole. Joyce: the juggernaut has too much gunpower and too would pummel Bakole into submission. His workrate is too high. Bakole gassed out quite quickly last night. Dubois: 50:50. Dubois is open to be hit. Could be a shoot out that goes anywhere. Chisora: Chisora would KTFO Bakole like he did to Takam. Bakole has no heart as we saw last night, so any British HW should fancy their chances if they can absorb his power and stick it on him.
I would personally fancy all of those to beat Bakole, based on yesterday's performance. He has a decent chance against Price and a reasonable chance against Dubois but I think both of those beat him. Gorman, Joyce and Chisora beat him easily imo.
Bakole wasn't good last night but I think a lot of that was down to his opponent, being smaller and quicker seemed to confuse him and really didn't know how to deal with it. Think hed be a lot better against a more traditional heavy who stands and throws.
That's my view aswell, seemed to throw him off completely, he looked lost after 4 or 5 rounds. Definitely has to get himself in better shape though for sure.
Price gets Ko'd within 5, Gorman (who i think is the best of the lot) by late TKO, Joyce would just have his way with bakole and destroy him, if Dubois does have a shaky chin, that would be 50-50 imo, & Chisora would beat Bakole as well, probably late stoppage.
If you were to listen to Billy last week he would beat them all in 1 night!! Having seen him id fancy him to lose them all with a few KO losses and couple of quits
