    Ade just put out a video saying he thinks Bakole is 320 lbs. I strongly doubt this is correct.

    That's true of many heavyweights, yes.

    There are certainly exceptions who aren't massively heavy handed and can't/won't throw Hail Mary's when overmatched (whether through fitness or levels)... Parker is one example of an exception here, Fury would be another.

    But we're mostly talking exceptions there - mostly it is the case and would be with Bakole.

    Bakole is currently at +120. That's a very good value.

    I just threw some money on him.

    Bakole has apparently been in camp for 8 weeks and just took a week off to go to Congo. His coach said he was around the same as the Anderson fight a week ago so he seems to be in decent shape.

    Should make the fight more interesting.

    Likewise. I laid down a hefty sum by my standards.

    Sheesh! If Parker makes it past 5 rounds I reckon it’s his.

    Absolute trooper. He’s done 10-12 hours on planes and in airports and instead of getting his head down he’s doing interviews. Unbelievable.
    Both him and Parker are very likeable and have shown their goolies by taking this fight so late. Best of luck to both brave men.

    For sure. A real trooper. That being said, he should've hit the hay ASAP instead of doing interviews that late after a long flight and a hard day. He should've told the interviewer to scram

    Yeah, both fighters are very likeable

    So he is 315lbs. Probably weighed in fully clothed after just arriving in Saudi but he still significantly heavier than we had been lead to believe he was, than he was against Takam, and than he should be. The 300lb version who fought Takam was hitting crazy hard though and if he's able to catch J-Park clean and with those savage combos of his he could even KO him in the first 4 rounds and he might have to in order to win

    Maybe even an aftershock once Parker sends him to the canvas.

    Well that turned out to be disappointing.
