I still don get it how people can say Wach was stopped?! You guys actually watch boxing or just boxrec'ing fighters? Wach was never stopped. He retired twice with hand injuries (Povetkin & Miller). Bakole is massively overrated. Wach will outpoint him. Obviously Wach will suit Bakole more as he's a bigger target than Hunter who also does not move like Hunter but Wach is underrated. His jab is pretty solid and he looked pretty good vs Szpilka in general considering his age and vita. Bakole might quit again in the late rounds if he fades and gasses. The mental quit job vs. Hunter was sick. I never have seen anything like that happen to a young undefeated prospect.
Bull****. Wach was cut badly and ref waved it off because he couldn't see properly. No pull out, no quit, no legit stoppage. He wanted to continue.
So no hand injury.. Where did the cut come from? Wach was thankful the ref stopped the fight since Povetkin was eating him alive.
I just watched both Povetkin and Miller stoppages and the referee stopped him on his feet. It was a mercy TKO because he was getting beaten up The Povetkin fight he was taken one hellacious beating and his eye was swollen badly and cut up. No way in hell would say that Povetkin fight was stopped due to an injury, otherwise why not let him fight the remaining 1 minute of the fight?
If bakole is goin to do anything at heavyweight these are sort of fights he should win convincingly wach is 39 seen far better days.
Wach was never very good even in his better days and gave Wlad one of the easiest nights in his career. Any hungry ambitious fighter should really come through Old Wach without too many problems.
except the furious one He got on them scales took one look at wach and claimed he was being stitched up
