Anthony Joshua Vs Martin Bakole

If Joshua has anything left at all surely he wins this?

 

Martin wont stop coming and Joshua will need to hurt him to stop him but I think he will still be gun-shy from the Dubois knockout. Interesting fight but I fancy Bakole to win by KO, especially if it's in Africa. Only way Joshua wins is by an Andy Ruiz 2 type performance.

 

Ben Shalom didn't look convincing when he said its done.

If it happens I'm a big fan of this fight! Fair play to AJ but I think he can beat Bakole even now.

 

You mean bakole turns up weighing 350lbs in a ring that makes him look tiny? That type of performance?

 

lol Bakole is no Molina, Martin, Ruiz, Breazeale, Takam etc or a geriatric Klitschko... back when Joshua was "at his best" against dross

oh wait, he was new and improved just before he faced a live dog in Dubois... there's a theme here

live dog = battered

 

Tbh I havnt watched Bakole that much.
I'm not as high on the HWs as I am on most of the other divisions.

The only fight ive tuned into for Bakole was the Hunter bout, And obviously I wasn't impressed.
He seems to of redeemed himself of that fight tho now, especially by posters on here.
Going off that I have to tip my hat to AJ for challenging himself especially after been K.Od last time.

 

It probably wouldn’t be exciting, but If AJ sticks and moves Ruiz 2 style, he wins on points.

 

Taking this fight in Congo would basically be AJ admitting that he's washed up and just an opponent now, no?

Bearing in mind he's also of Nigerian extraction, he'd be the away fighter in every sense of the term. Not great optics for his "brand".

 

It will make my day this is true. This forum just won't cut him any slack. If he chins the undisputed king of sparring what will they say? Fury wouldn't have took such a fight. His aristotle would have left him.

 

Good effort that lad but will never happen in the KONGO. Too much going on in that neck of the park. Why would the 2nd biggest draw in the game who is UK based fight someone who's best win is SUBWAY JARED and do so in the jungle against a man who couldn't draw flies to muck if he paid them? Dreaming matey.

 

Martin has the head movement of a statue and hangs around longer than he should. He has feet that have been bathed in concrete and tattooed with lead. He has a bad habit of dropping his hands also. Those aren't the traits of someone I would pick to beat HEYJAY even at this stage of his career.

 

It was an interview Talksport aired with bakole today. He said it was happening in Congo and was a done deal. Shalom said same as well in same clip.

 

Brand Humble was never the same after Ruiz battered him.

That is his legacy fight that people will always remember.

Any live opponent throwing leather will take him out.

 

I’ll believe it when I see it. Can see Humble and Eddie running a mile from this.
