This would be an interesting one! Who wins this one? I got Kabayel, as he is technically sounder and more proven than Bakole IMO.
Not sure if Kabayel has the power to KO someone as tough as Bakole and probably goes the distance too. Going for a draw, someone has to.
I'm going with Kabayel because I consider him a more skilled and intelligent fighter, Kabayel is completely wrong for him because he likes to go to the body and Bakole is too open...
I've been thinking about this fight since Bakole beat Anderson. Both resume wise are similar with a win over a proven gatekeeper and two unbeaten hype jobs. I'd favour Kabayel right now. He's better all round, can move, can pressure, has better stamina. Bakole has size and power but I think Kabayel can take those away with his movement and defence. Kabayel UD.
I think Bakole can knock him out early. Smakici had Kabayel all over the place, that does not bode well when he gets in with Martin.
