People jumping on the Bakole wagon here. I didn't like the fact that he had Yoka on very shaky legs and let him off the hook. He almost made the judges score the fight against him. Like Teddy Atlas says, the underdog must win every round and hope for a split decision and that's what happened in Paris. Whyte looked terrible against Fury, and Bakole looked great against Yoka...maybe it was their opponents that made them look like that? Nevertheless it would be a good match between two slugging HW's. I'd watch it.
Bakole is definitely going to be ducked even more after he hammered Yoka. I don't see any of the old guard in the top 10 wanting to fight him, Whyte included.
Fair enough mate, you probably right about Yoka, I'm getting hyped about Bakole as he won me quite a bit of money lol, we will see how he does.
Bakole is too tough and too Congolian for Whyte Fury is not a puncher Povetkin is 100 years old AJ is a bodybuilder Parker hasn't got fighting spirit Bakole does the business on him. Watch out. Sure Whyte would rip yoka's head off but Bakole didn't bother chasing him like Whyte would
Counter arguement: Dillian Whyte cannot block an uppercut. That being said Bakole would need to be in better shape for Whyte and handle his business when Whyte employs his usual strategy of stopping punches with his face.
It would be a fun slugfest. Whyte has been hurt by every decent puncher he has faced and Bakole packs lot of power, but is also hittable.
People being harsh on Whyte here. He's lost 3 times, but two of those loses were Fury and Joshua, who are miles ahead of Bakole. The povetkin loss was a shame for him but that was a insane uppercut from a great fighter in Pov. He just got caught, but was dominating the fight before hand. Whyte has beaten better than Bakole and Bakole lost to Hunter.... Whyte KO/TKO.
