    Not a bad idea, that. :sherlock: :ggg

    Parker is currently rated #3 by Ring Magazine. Bakole is yet to enter their rankings but surely will crack in after defeating #7 Jared Anderson last weekend.

    Parker is WBO interim champion. Bakole is WBO #12, as well as IBF #14, WBC #6 and the WBA #1 mandatory contender to either super champ Usyk or regular champ Charr.

    Parker is 6'4" and Bakole is 6'6". Both men are 32 years old. Each has KO power, and each has been stopped once.

    I like Bakole - Zhang fight much more. It might turn into Foreman - Lyle type of fight

    I think I would take Bakole to be honest

    Bakole will walk through Parker and stop him by round 7.

    Bakole walks Parker down, puts damage on him and knocks him out mid-rounds.

    He won't just stand on the outside all fight waiting for an opening like Zhang.

    The only ways to beat super size 280lbs + Bear Bakole 2.0 is

    1. If you're a murderous puncher like Big Bang and you can catch him with something huge

    2. If you're a mobile slick quick boxer who can use your speed and movement for 12 rounds to outpoint him and avoid being mauled to death

    Parker on points, he's faced bigger punchers already. Bakole beat an overhyped Anderson, who is levels below Parker.

    I'll take Bakole.

    Almost seems like a lot of Parker fans have forgotten that Parker didn't dominate Zhang at all. He was knocked down twice and won a narrow majority decision, I had it razor thin for Parker. Bakole's gas tank is better than Zhang's at 31 which isn't old for a HW, and similar to Zhang and Joyce he hits like a truck. He has power in both hands, has good hooks and uppercuts, and isn't looking for a single punch like Wilder was. Bakole is durable as well, he can take a punch.

    Bad stylistic match up for Parker. Bakole stops him late.

    LOL, so Joyce version 2 after beating a fringe Nobody prospect is the new " Monster"................I dont think much about Paint Dry Parker but as long he is not standing right in front of the "Monster" he is gonna cruise to a decision win..............he clearly defused the Chicom "Monster" and that was a South paw on top of it

    Nothing has changed with Bakole, he is still the same guy who was stopped by light hitting Arm puncher Hunter.

    Parker is in my avatar and I'd hate for him to lose, but I don't think he can avoid getting KO'd.

    Unless he and Andy Lee come up with a great plan to win, which is possible.

    70/30 chance of a Bakole KO win.

    Bakole would eat that boy alive.

    Already did in sparring before the Joyce fight

    ‘Kiwi’ casual? 32 years old?? That sounds familiar.
