How much of an impact could late notice, jet lag, poor condition have had on Bakole’s durability?

As huge as his belly.

 

I knew there'd be excuses like this.

the fact is, he got exposed as having a glass jaw. That was an epic chicken dance.

 

Bakole was fat and untrained, he obviously came unprepared thinking it would be enough to still get the win, and the money were great. He could definitely have performed better had he prepared for this fight.

Bakole isn't the guy who seriously trains between camps. He reminds me those lazy Cuban HWs who carry 50-70 lbs of extra lard soon after they turn pro.

 

Of course it had an effect. Being in great shape and good punch resistance have a strong connection. You don’t go from eating all of Anderson’s punches to getting starched by one good shot from Parker.

 

The gamble didnt succeed for bakole but fair play to him. Could have looked way different if he was prepared IMO.
Would love to see him against dubois.

 

no doubt the circumstances set bakole up to lose. nobody comes off the couch and fights a freshly conditioned world class fighter. but that shot, uppon seeing it in slow mo again, landed right above the ear. you can detect the whitening of the skin in that area as the blood got smashed out of that spot. those shots take your equilibrium. ask aj.

 

Bakole was obviously not in decent condition for a fight of this magnitude.

Parker got the job done as he was supposed to and Bakole makes some good cash without damaging his reputation too much.

Would have been a very different fight if Bakole had a training camp.

 

Ask almost 49 years old George foreman vs Shannon Briggs about durability. I can't believe how people compare him to George foreman. George foreman was different type of beast and they just don't make it like him anymore. And what excuses he is overweight. He is professional fighter. He should be in a decent shape all the time. I'm.sick of this over hype fighters. He beat usyk in a sparring, ko him? Yeah right. Trust me, this is not his last ko

 

,,,without damaging his reputation? He looked like a walrus and went down from the 1st decent shot he got hit with. If he fights Ajagba I'd be stunned if he weighs less than 290. He trains as seriously as Andy Ruiz

 

Wouldn’t matter he got clipped on the temple ….. bye bye equilibrium

 

Hard to judge him base on the circumstance. Dude literally got of the couch and fought within 48 hours.

 

Is Bakole's head on upside down? Funny place to have a chin.
