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

It's not like Bakole gassed in 5 minutes and that cost him the fight. His body might have been jelly but his head hasn't suddenly turned to jelly. He got caught, plain and simple and it could have happened under more ideal conditions too. We'll never know.

 

Unless he was dehydrated I think it makes no difference to actual 'chin'.
Being in shape, out of shape etc., it makes no difference to concussive effects.
How bad is jetlag from UK to Middleeast, It wouldn't be the worst, it's not UK to Beijing/Japan or California. I doubt he was dehydrated.

So what we know is he doesn't have great punch resistance.
Yeah if he was prepared it would be a different fight, maybe he wins, but he's a disgusting indulgent slob so it's his own fault he was that out of condition.

Parker struggles to KO people typically.

 

I commend both bakole and Parker for taking this fight on short notice. Bakole rolled the dice and he came up short, I still want to see him fight again.

 

I think stamina would have played more of an issue than chin from travelling, and it wasn't even that much jetlag - only a 2 hour time difference.

It is not an excuse - but it was probably actual training preparation that was the issue. Still respect Bakole for taking such a risky fight on short notice.

 

He took a big fight on very late notice. I don't judge him on that loss and I think most people won't.

 

Parker doesn’t have power and he’ll never knock a top heavyweight out ever as long as they are fight sharp. Bakole only got stopped because his body was already tired and in need of sleep so a big shot to the brain had a much higher chance of shutting his body down.
