    those are stretch jeans. They look like jeans but are like stretchy workout gear when on. They aren’t constrictive in any way.

    I own some (I do not wear them tight though, I wear them in a normal cut so they look like normal jeans on me). He’s wearing them because they’re comfortable. In terms of comfort, they have about as much in common with a pair of Levi’s as a pair of lightweight modern running shoes has with a pair of steel toed leather combat boots.

    I see this going a lot like the Imperial German Army versus Edith Cavell.

    Apparently Parker hasn't been getting fights this last year because his style is too boring, something he has been working on, e.g. the extra weight.

    So we may see Parker try go for the KO.

    Opposite is true, tightness helps blood circulation. That may be why he wore tight pants now that you brought it up.

    Giraffes have very tight skin around their legs in order to help blood circulation because they're so tall.

    Bakole weight is 140 kg xD

    Poor thing that Parker is that heavy now. His version with 111 kg will fit perfect here. 121 kg version? No idea.

    Bakole is 315lbs. He has just flown off from being on a lads holidays where he has eaten like a pig.

    Unless he gets Parker out early- then Parker stops him late. Parker by KO around 8-10 rounds.

    Like I said, he probably weighed in fully clothed after that long flight and arriving so late and once again Serge has been proven 100% right. He even had his shoes on too. He probably weighs about 310lbs. Sure it's still too heavy but he doesn't look as fat as he did against Takam there even though he weighed 299lbs for that one. Whilst it might not bode well for his chances if the fight goes more than six rounds and he may well run out of gas and get stopped if his gas tank runs dry, he's going to be hitting crazy hard at that weight and let's not forget he has fast hands for his size, great timing and accuracy and he doesn't load up on his shots either so the punches flow smoothly and naturally and require less energy

    It's his slow feet which might be the biggest problem. But then again J-Park is way heavier than he's ever been too so he might be slower and easier to track down

    The safe pick is Bakole early or J-Park late or later if Bakole can't get him out of there in the first 4-6 rounds and he gasses.
