Bakole vs Zhang

I back Bakole to win but it's such a great fight on paper

I hope it happens

 

Bakole plods forward looking to land something big, not active, not moving out of the way of shots against an even bigger, faster stone chin that hits harder and way faster................................I'm sure I've seen this movie already

 

Bakole averaged 55 punches a round against Anderson and those aren't just pitter patter shots, they do real damage. Way more active than Zhang.

Based on what does Zhang have a stone chin?

 

I think Zhang based on styles. Bakole will walk him down and Zhang will punish him for his aggression and again expose just how easy he is to hit, which isn't something that bodes well for Bakole given Zhang's power. Bakole will need one hell of a chin to keep walking forward and keep taking Zhang's shots. I think Zhang KO's him inside 5 rounds.

 

Agree. Zhang will decimate him and is far more proven.

 

Zhang has some serious power that Bakole has not ever felt, not even in sparring!

I think it will be similar to both Joyce V Zhang fights.

 

Probably a very exciting fight in the first 6 rounds, would probably be a boring slog if it somehow goes the distance.

 

They listed his reach at 82" on the tale of the tape before the Anderson fight. Seems pretty accurate, looks to have really long arms and he's also wide.

 

Great fight. I think style of Bakole same as Joyce will be good match up for Zhang. Why? Bakole is offensive dude with not best stamina and foot work. He will come forward with his punches and give opportunity for Zhang to use his counter shoots.

Zhang stamina is not best but I think Bakole also (better than chinese but still with 130 kg not perfect).

It depends how Bakole will react to clean shoots from Chinese tower. I belive Zhang might have best single punching power in whole boxing right now.

Who will win? It depends. If Martin can survive first part of the fight he probably win decision like Hrgovic did but to survive that he will need hell of a chin.
