    I'd take the best AJ to beat both


    .....but the best AJ MIGHT now be a faded memory

    Bakole should fight now with Hrgovic. Two dudes who ask for chance for soo long and when actually got shot losses opportunity. Off course Bakole got worse chance but still.
    As both are big, strong dudes with power shots and both threat defence as werid word from dictionary that would be good to watch. And winner comeback to game.

    Parker should fight with Usyk. Not because I belive that he got big chances because imo Usyk style make Parker lost 10 time per 10 fight with Oleksander but he just DESERVE IT the most. He got 3 big wins with 3 big names. Dont need him to fight with another risky fight. He deserve fight on highest level now.

    Agit also done great job but I think Parker than more impresive work. Agit should fight with Daniel Dubois who should today defence his titlle.
    Agit vs Parker will be great fight too but why they should fight eachother? Let them fight for bigger goal now and dont lose health fighting each other.

    Zhang should think about retire or take one more fight with slower opponent to win. He dont have stamina and health for fight in that tempo.

    I'll stick my neck out and take Dubois to beat an ageing Usyk, Parker to beat AJ AND Kabayel to beat Martin

    I find the idea that Bakole clearly won the first round curious. 6 punches landed vs 9 from Parker. Bakole threw a lot of rangefinders that perhaps people thought were landing. It was a pick em first round, I thought Parker marginally landed the more impactful shots.

    You think Bakole entered the ring as a top 5 heavy?

    I think Bakole vs Zhang would do a lot for the winner to have their losses behind them, maybe the winner fight the winner of Joyce vs Whyte, Gonna be hard cause no one will want to fight these two still.

    I'd honestly let Zhang have his rematch with Parker if Usyk and Dubois are going to fight each other. Zhang lost to Kabayel but got a KD, Bakole got more "exposed" as not being truly top flight.

    I want to see Bakole vs Ruiz. If it's a boring tactical match they could switch to Sumo rules mid-fight.
