Bakole got tagged a lot by Anderson

His offensive arsenal is certainly much more impressive than his defense, he takes some to give some and has deadly accuracy. Could be detrimental against punchers like Zhang or Dubois.

His hands are also quicker than I remember.

 

The guy is a tank and hits very hard I think a technical fighter who moves around are the one that can beat I believe he could beat both Dubois and Zhang.

 

Of course he did.

He has no real defence and as most HWs he thinks that he don't need it.

People forget his fights with Kuzmin and Hunter.

 

He has no defense and can only hit what is in front of him. But he's got great size, power, and a good arsenal. Good stamina too.

I think he's a bit overrated, because Anderson has no talent whatsoever. Any mover is going to have a good chance against him. But good luck to him and some of his fights are going to be fun.

 

I don’t think he respected Anderson whatsoever and believed Anderson couldn’t hurt him. Anderson was scared shitless of him too.

Bakole looked bad against Hunter though. If that injury was bad luck or because of Hunter’s doing is up for debate.

We will find out what Bakole got when he fights somebody ranked above him.

 

Anderson had some of the tools to beat him, hand speed and such. What I thought had become evident is his mental stability which started to rear it's head outside the ring with some problems as he seemed to think he was the greatest thing since scotch whiskey. So when he landed some on Bakole and he didn't even flinch Anderson was like,uh what now?

 

I Agree

 

What has he got over Zhang?

 

You know how it feels to punch a man with your best and him not respond...

Anderson was outboxed, outgunned, outsexed, outjerked. Nothing for Big Body Bakole.

It's not secret that if you get hit by Zhang's left hand you're probably done for that appleis to every boxer. Bakole doesn't need to fight or beat Zhang though. He needs to somehow get the bodybuilding bum AJ in the ring and slap him around for our entertainment.

Bakole deserves his shot at the top which hasn't happened yet.

 

The thing with Anderson is that a while back he said he doesn’t like Boxing. That’s not good. You hope he is joking or just being a young guy saying dumb ****, but I think he was talking the truth. It’s one thing when a fighter from the 1930’s claimed he never liked boxing, like it was either working on the docks in the winter, the slaughterhouse, or Boxing. So he did go with boxing, a hard but honest living. There is a romantic notion to that. But in 2024 that does not apply. Anderson can get a 9-5 or a job as a personal trainer or whatever. He doesn’t need to do Boxing. So if he doesn’t like Boxing, he must really hate it to share the ring with a beast like Bakole. Anderson got athleticism but he doesn’t have the mindset.

 

Zhang is higher ranked than AJ, he's the mandatory for the WBC, and he's next in line after the winner of Dubois/Parker. Beating Zhang is much more impressive right now than beating AJ imo.

 

Boy I agree with that because boxing is not a game. When you have a bad night in baseball you simply strike out. When you're not mentally and physically all in with boxing you'll take a beating as the cliche' says,"You don't play boxing."
