ARTUR BETERBIEV VS. DMITRY BIVOL 2 | THE LAST CRESCENDO - RBR

I did but what's your point? I was arguing the point re: Parker form, not predicting any outcome.

 

Good start from Ortiz.

 

Surly you dont give Bakole a chance? Parker has had a full camp and lets be honest he is a very good HW maybe not Elite but just below, do you believe Bakole who quit against Hunter is elite? And more so a fresh off the sofa Bakole?

Edit: not nit picking your opinion of Parker here just your opinion of Bakole.

 

Terribly biased commentary, not saying he will win but Madrimov a very sort priced favourite in play after 5 rounds

 

I wouldn't say Bakole is Elite right now but he's a good fighter, just at like Parker is a good fight. If Bakole had a full training camp etc I would 100% be backing him for the win. I still think he wins tonight to be honest I'm just not fully confident in my pick.

 

Ortiz coming on strong here

 

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bakole beats him. I don't think he is the absolute monster some do by any stretch, but I really see Parkers current form like AJ's pre Dubois.

 

I just think its crazy that anyone at all is giving a fat as a pig Bakole with no training camp a chance on 2 days notice, maybe its me who rates Parker pretty highly and alot of others dont i dunno, i just carnt see how someone can come in at 22 stone on 2 days notice and be competitive at this level.

 

Still 6/4 underdog in running , lump on if you like what Ortiz is doing

 

To be honest I’m mate I'm with you on this one, Bakole is a good fighter, and anyone has to give him credit for taking the fight on short notice. Given a full camp I would have fancied him massively.

I still think it will be close fight, it’s criminal how avoided Bakole has been, at least he has the balls to step up and fight anyone, anytime, any place, at any notice, credit to the sport for taking this as such short notice.

 

Will make it all that more impressive if he wins. But you're probably right, we will see when that bell rings what sort of state Bakole is in. He's always heavy come fight night but 315 is ****ing mental!

 

Yeah so many fighters talk the talk, so it's refreshing to see Bakole actually walk it. I really hope he wins tonight, this is such a great opportunity. Billy Nelson has always believed in him and says he beats anyone. Let's see. ....

 

Another good fight this. Doesn't have the raw excitement of the previous two but it's high level stuff and ebbing and flowing nicely.

Very intriguing bout and hard to call how it's gonna play out with any certainty.
