Tony Yoka vs Martin Bakole is set for January 15th

I just hope the bookies are like this forum, if so, I'll make a bundle on this fight.

 

Easy W for Yoka. He'll box Bakoles ears off.

People who claim Yoka has a glass jaw are pretty one-dimensional.

Only three guys stopped Yoka in the amateurs:
1. Magomed Omarov. Omarov hits like an absolute truck. He has like 20% KO ratio in the amateur ranks which is ridiculous. A shame this guy never turned pro. Omarov by the way was the only guy who STOPPED Arslanbek Makhmudov in the amateurs.
2. Ali Eren Demirezen. While Demirezen isn't a big puncher the stoppage was 100% based on poor conditioning. Yoka took flush shots to the head without going down but he was tired as ****. Yoka gassed out like a mother****er after beating the crap out of Demirezen in the first four rounds. I think the only KD in that fight was more a push and Yoka just being tired and exhausted. He was clearly hurt but man he took some bombs clean to the head and chin. Everybody would have been hurt. His conditioning was **** poor.
3. Erislandy Savon. Savon also has a 20% KO ratio in the amateur ranks and it was in 2011. Yoka was 19 years old back then. It was just a difference in skills and experience. And Yoka wasn't as big and muscular like he is today. He bulked up.

 

Nice fight, I’m leaning towards yoka on this one ud

 

You don't like Yoka for whatever reasons and thats okay. I really don't like this guy either. But he has some serious skills and ppl claiming he's a glass jaw have nothing to prove it at this point apart from those amateur stoppages but i guess we don't talk about Makhmudov as a glass jaw either, right?

Yoka will beat the crap out of Bakole. Bakole has a great chin though. So that might be an interesting dynamic if the fight goes to the last few rounds.

 

Yoka. Relatively comfortable win.

 

I'm excited for this in the "I really don't like or care about either of these guys, so whoever loses and suffers a career setback, that is one less bag of blah I have to worry about mucking up the ranks of contention" sense.

Kinda the opposite from when two guys I stan fight.

 

Hoping that Martin and Billy prevail in this one.

 

Almost a 50-50 fight, but I'm leaning towards Yoka.

Will this be shown on TV in the UK?

 

Good fight, lets just hope it happen.

 

Easy work for Yoka

 

I'll take Yoka by ud, maybe late stoppage. The few times I have seen Bakole he seems slow with a low workrate. Against Hunter his gas tank ran out if that happens a ko us possible. The flopping against Hammer in the clinch from Yoka did not inspire a ton of confidence though, made him look very fragile, whether he is or not is still to be seen

 

The bookies aren't stupid, so you'll be sh*t out of luck lol

 

Bakole, once he starts getting smacked around will be looking for a way out. Not a Yoka believer, but less of a Bakole believer.
