    Bakole's resume isn't great, but it's not terrible and like I said, comparable to Joyce's resume pre-Parker objectively.

    So why do you rate Kabayel highly then and think he's a very dangerous fight for Parker? His resume isn't great either.

    I disagree. Joyce still had Dubios on his record which is a better win than anyone Bakole has faced, especially now.

    I rate Kabayel based on his style, and it's not one that would match up favourably against Parker. His resume is also better than Bakoles imo.

    I'm confident Parkers chin, experience and mobility will get him the victory against Bakole.

    Indeed

    Parker has absolutely never stopped anyone of note... Ever

    I'm not convinced on Bakole being on that level yet. Fantastic performance in his last outing, and I really like the guy. Anderson is a never was however, and we can't compare that to a Zhang win.

    He hasn't had the opportunities Parker has to be fair

    Which only proves my point that he's unproven.

    Yeah but I've not argued that point

    For what it's worth I'm split on who'd win a match between the two
