    You can hold your own in a fight that you get stopped early in, by that logic did Hearns not hold his own against Hagler because he got stopped early? Bakole was certainly holding his own before getting starched, landed good punches and was doing well at countering Parker’s body attacks with well timed uppercuts on the inside. He got caught, it happens but it doesn’t take away from him proving that he belonged in there . It wasn’t like he was getting thrashed from the opening.

    If Bakole came prepared he would have gave Parker a solid fight

    He busted Parker's nose straight away with a jab...and Parker will have been preparing for Dubious jab. No doubt he was preparing that big overhand trying to walk Dubious into it. Instead he got an obese plodding Bakole with no gameplan no nothing.

    Bakole pretty quickly decided to just go for it by round 2. Took a few shots off Parker then decided to walk at him haphazardly and that was all she wrote.

    Ajagba is in deep trouble.

    Bakole is a still a titan, just he's a little desperate for fights and $$$.

    9 weeks out from an IBF title eliminator fight and he turns up looking like he’s eaten Andy Ruiz and lasts less than two rounds against powder puff punching Parker. Amazing.

    Respect to Bakole, he was up against it and I felt he had 3 rds to try something, before Parker took over and put him out. Tough situation.

    Those 2 big blows are reason for concearn going into the next fight, Ajagba is a power puncher. I hope his team take good care of him not to jeopardize his career.

    Probably why they threw the towel at the first sign of danger
