Bakole weighed in at 315 lb - is this fight a waste of time?

I didn't think they'd replace Dubois with anyone in the Top 10 so it was a surprise they picked Bakole to fight Parker. It seemed like madness to put a serious opponent opposite Parker, with his WBO mandatory position on the line, at such short notice. Now, this Bakole fight seems like a lot less of a risk. Firstly, they made Martin take THREE flights - Congo to Ethiopia to Dubai to Saudi. Yes it was in Business Class but Turki and his ilk have private jets and could have brought him over in comfort and style. This way, he's flying commercial, changing planes, hanging around for airport layovers and arriving at 2am on the morning of the fight!! Now we learn he's clearly not been training. Martin Bakole weighed about 285 lb for the Jared Anderson fight. He's turned up 30 lbs heavier for the Parker fight. He's going to be slow and will gas quickly. In contrast, Parker has looked very mobile and elusive in his last few fights - although Joe has come in heavier than normal as well, for some reason I can't fathom. Given all that, it seems like this is going to be an easy night for Joe and a painful experience for Martin. Bakole may even get so tired he'll get knocked out. And the Saudi's are paying him less than £500k if the reports coming out are to be believed.
