    Why does Bakole keep ducking Hrgovic? He was offered the fight for the 23rd Dec card. He's been offered the Hrgovic fight a few times. Bakole and Billy keep talking about how they'll fight anyone but don't match what they say. Tell us @billy nelson

    Bakole was never offered the fight with Hyrgovic, we’d have been all over it, easy money for Martin

    1. Burns was a 3 weight world champ
    2. Kevin Mitchell got stopped by Ricky
    3.Kid Galahad won a world title
    4.David Brophy stopped World No5 in Australia to win commonwealth title and only lost to two world champions(not bad I’d say)

    And easy win for Hrgovic

    Bakoles real age is about 40 he needs to hurry up and get paydays to cash out cause the clock is ticking.

    I dont think it's an easy win for either man guys. Mazza, I agree he probably looks older than he actually is, but Bakole has been on an excellent run since his Hunter loss. Similar to that of Whyte who got a world title shot on the strength of it. Bakoles Probably even better. Hygovic deserves a shot on the strength of his win over Zhang.
    To be perfectly honest I wish Fury anDd Usyk would both retire. IF they fight in February I expect it to be close either way and there'll be a return around December 2024. Rather Bakole and Hyrgovic boxed for a vacant title. Changing of the guard. And I couldn't safely pick a winner.

    Billy Nelson can answer for himself but my two pence worth, and that's all it is, is that Bakole only recently boxed. He looked out of condition but performed well. Did better against the opponent than other rated guys. I cant believe he wouldn't fight Hygovic or that Hyrgovic wouldn't fight him. But pragmatically maybe only with a title involved. That fight deserves one.

    Hyrgovic has only one world class win. Bakole as I said has had a similar run to Whyte. He beat Yoka for one.

    Bakole is a valid opponent for Joshua, Joyce and Dubois with a win sticking the winner into or back into World Title Challenge territory.

    I agree Martin would have far to much for Hrgovic. Hrgovic is regressing. He is never a 12 round Championship fighter. Martin would beat him to the punch more often than not. Plus Martin has better variety.

    Hrgovic got the win over Zhang. But that was a gift. In reality Zhang should have got the W, we he deserved to get his hand raised.

    I had Zhang winning that fight as well by at least 2 rounds.

    I had Hrgovic beating Zhang by a point, the same as the judges. He beat the beastly Zhang on his worst night. So I'd definitely expect him to beat Bakole,
