Bakole for me. I suspect Parkers chin has declined over the years although his skills have improved. Bakole has devastating power and is gonna be way more active than a Wilder or Zhang. Bakole 10th round come from behind TKO.
Bakole is stationary all fight, if Parker can use his movement and boxing skills to dictate the pace I think he can win this fight.
Yeah Parker would have to do what Anderson failed to do -- use superior speed and mobility: stick & move. I'd actually like to see Bakole vs. Zhang. Two big stationary clubbers.
Bakole batters Parker and knocks him out. Been saying this for a long time. Parker is good, but Bakole won't just stand on the outside all fight long like Zhang and Wilder, he'll be walking Parker down and putting damage on him.
Parker wins it, though there may be some dangerous moments for him. If he can take Zhangs power he can take Bakoles, but he needs to stay sharp.
Parker wins he can move and use his handspeed. Anderson sat on the ropes and wanted to swap hands even after getting dropped
I think Kabayel makes more sense for Parker. Only reason for Parker to take on Bakole would some kind of eliminator.
I have to go with Parker, Parker is the better fighter and as long as his defense doesn't fail him he should win...
Zhang and Wilder are not swarmers/pressure fighters, unlike Joyce and Bakole, in which Parker's chin isn't getting any better too.
Bakole doesn’t have enough cardio to fight hard for 10 rounds, don’t forget he got stopped by Hunter. It’s not an easy fight for Parker but he should win.
Bakole was injured against Hunter so that impacted massively on his performance and outcome. Parkers movement would give him some success but I'd favour Bakole to grind out a win.
