Daniel Dubois v Martin Bakole

I agree Kabayel wins are nothing special but that's true of Bakole too. Who are his impressive wins?

It's what makes this a great fight for me. Both have a couple of solid wins but are still pretty unproven in terms of a title shot so them facing off for one makes perfect sense.

 

Not a chance Warren will line Dubois up with Bakole. No cash and too much risk

 

Warren should promote the fook out of Dubois. A genuine nice lad and relatable.

Go the Bruno route instead of the Joshua one.

 

He can promote him without putting him against Bakole though, I think Parker is a better sell and easier win. And it's not ridiculous like fighting Wilder or Jake Paul....or Jack Johnson.

 

Bakole vs kabayel could be a terrible move for bakole while agree kabayel is not greatest and last few wins seen him being overrated its hard not to forget bakole has lost to hunter has problems with fighters good movement and Billy Nelson himself has said he puts on alot weight out-of camp and is again in Africa
And let's be honest no major wins on his resume despite years of praise from Billy
Right now have say its 50 50 fight

He may well be goods and alot on here and myself hope he is but he needs be fighting far more often be camp more often and promted far better and promote himself more often.

 

He's a complete weirdo. Nothing likeable about the lad at all. Remember when he insulted Joe Joyces mum for being blind. He has about 1/100th of the charisma Frank Bruno had.

 

Bakole's wins are nothing special either. Sometimes a fan has to get off the fence and make judgements based upon foresight, and I think it's clear that Bakole will beat Kabayel. He'd be an even surer bet to beat Parker.

 

I think it'll be a pretty close fight and it's not an easy one to call but think Kabayel's movement will make it difficult for Martin to land big shots so am backing him.

Dubois and Parker is an interesting one. A year or so ago I'd have definitely backed Parker but leaning more towards Daniel after his recent performances. Parker is there to be hit and unlike Zhang Dubois will have the stamina to follow up and keep his work rate high.

Both great fights for me as neither are close to being mismatches imo.

 

Ooh.

 

True. Using Frank Bruno as an example of how Dubois should be promoted is an odd shout. Very odd indeed.

Although I think Dubois is more likeable than Joshua simply based on authenticity. Joshua is so carefully manufactured. I'm obviously talking about my personal view here because evidently millions think Joshua is a "cool" and nice guy, but to me it just shows how many numpties are out there.

 

Kabayel is good at cutting off the ring, but how good is his movement on the backfoot against a Goliath? He moved about a bit against Chisora about eight years ago, but looks heavier now (not sure if this is true as I haven't looked at the weights). He doesn't look that fleet of foot to me. I think he'd struggle to keep up with the pace. There are unknowns, though, so that's what makes it interesting, more so than someone like Parker who we know everything about.

Parker will get knocked out by Dubois and I'll be putting money on it.

 

Blimey was the Chisora fight eight years ago already? How time flies!

You're right that it's the unknowns which make it so interesting and these are the fights we need more of instead of contenders just fighting overmatched opponents constantly waiting for a shot.

And as much as I think it'll be a close fight I wouldn't be that surprised if it didn't turn out that way and one ended up dominating the other.

 

100% agree with this. Although training Dubois to do HP Sauce adverts will probably end up like that time they put Rocky in a caveman costume.

Peoples' Champion.

 

If Dubois starts quickly like he did against the bodybuilder then i can see an early ko for him.

If Bakole weathers an early storm then gets into a rythmn i can see a mid round ko for him. Bakole has deceptively fast hands and we know he can bang.

I'd love to see this fight. c'mon Turki - wake up and make the fight !

 

Great fight kabayel v bakole. Can see arguments for both lads winning on fence at minute. Imagine big Martin in a barroom brawl at close quarters, people dropping like flies all over
