    Bakole seems to have slimmed down a bit since the Parker fight, but at 299 lbs he is still out of shape. It is such a shame because if he was dedicated and showed up in shape I would easily back him against Ajagba (and possibly even Parker, but I recognise the short notice had a lot to do with that). Anyhow, I'm backing Ajagba down the stretch, and Canelo by early round annihilation.

    I will be genuinely impressed by him if he gets the W tonight. Clearly he had done fairly little training leading up to the Parker fight, and now he has had only two months to prepare for this one. Oh, and he most certainly suffered a concussion against Parker.

    It's on a little later than the prior shows that we're more for a Brit audience. Those main events started 3am Saudi time. This card is for US and Mexican audiences.

    I got another nickname for Scull if he doesn't want to take "The Cuban Missile Crisis", now this one is.... controversial to say the least, but controversy sells

    William Scull "****er"

    It works because it's obscene like "who is this crazy guy" and because someone who punches someone else in the head is ****ing their skull up.

    No racism at all. I'm not sure what word you are thinking I put there but it wasn't a racist one. I don't want to spell it out because I don't want to get banned

    I don't know if I really see the resemblance but I will give a like to any Antonio Fargas mention. He was great in the Blaxploitation movies and a lot of fun as Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch.

    It's a bit of a stretch, but the resemblance is there, especially in his terrible Boxrec profile pic.
