Great fight. Bakole on PTS. If Bakole plods forward early trying to throw with zhang, I think Zhang likely takes him out. From the Anderson post-fight interview I heard, it sounded a little like Bakole trusts his chin against anyone. Not sure that works against Zhang At the same time, Bakole always comes across like a fighter who will listen to Nelson and show some discipline when needed (he boxed really nicely against Yoka). So if they can take Zhang deep, I think Bakole takes it. I'm going for Bakole to get a points win. The age difference will be a factor
Great fight and an intriguing one at that. I don't know which of them I'd lean to in this one. Big Bang's age is always a concern but as big, tough and formidable as Bakole is he can't get hit by Big Bang like he usually does. But, likewise, Big Bang can't allow Bakole to unload those nasty combos of his on him either.
Bakole by KO or UD. Think hes just too good. On one hand this is an obvious fight to make and one of the purest fun matchups available in the division, on the other hand though Id like to see these guys get a shot at the other name in the division rather than taking eachother out. But if they did fight, its an epic matchup and while I could see Zhang win and it would be no surprise, personally I favor Bakole.
