    Going to the event on Saturday. Interesting match up as Hunter did ok against Usyk. Wil lthis show us where Bakole really is?

    First time seeing both fighters live and i havent seen much of either fighter.

    How do you guys see it going down?

    I seem the be predicting this alot recently, but i fancy Bakole to stop him middle rounds. Hunter might evade alot, first couple of rounds but Bakole is quick for a big geavyweiheavyweight. He ie excellent at cutting of the ring and has good handspeed. Bakole will be biggest puncher Hunters faced and, Bakole has the skill to get in position to execute that power. I can see Hunter hitting the canvas a couple of times. Very good fight, one that will showcase Bakole very well.

    Intriguing fight, given the amount of time Bakole has spent in a professional boxing ring I cant see past a Hunter UD here.

    Curious on Hunters motivation though, maybe he sees it as an opening into the British scene or has he been offered enough to make the journey worthwhile (unlikely).

    Yep, I'll be there too. Looking forward to it.

    It's the litmus test for Bakole and a massive step up in competition. Hunter is no joke at all. He was very capable as an AM and took a few rounds off Usyk, though this was when he was a bit of a slow starter.

    I think I'll go with Bakole on points but I don't have much faith in myself here

    It’s a big big step up for Bakole.

    From what I have seen of him (and all of us for that matter other than Billy) it’s difficult to predict this with confidence.

    I think he will win a 10 Round UD.

    It’s good he is being stepped up early!

    Truthfully I have no idea.

    Bakole might blast him out which would be impressive.... assuming Hunter is being serious in his career moving to heavyweight.

    Maybe Hunter schools him and proves Bakole was just over hyped?

    Bakole however wouldn't be sparring AJ if he wasn't a handy operator, that is for sure.

    Either way looking forward to the fight.
