Comments Thread For: Tony Yoka vs. Martin Bakole Heavyweight Clash Rescheduled For May 14 In Paris

I am glad this fight is happening though.

Yoka is 30 in 2 months time, bare in mind AJ is 32 and it feels like AJ has been around at title level forever, I equate this as compatible to AJ vs Whyte which happened when AJ was 25.

Basically Yoka is years behind schedule, similar to Hrgovic and these guys need to get a move on

Agree. Covid has gummed up the rhythm of the sport.

Yoka is the future. Bet on it.
Tony Yoka is the smoothest, most poised Heavyweight/Superheavyweight Gold medalist comming out of the Olympic games since Teofilo Stevenson 72' - 76'. Far more advanced in technique than Biggs, Lewis, Balado, Klitschko, Harrison, Povetkin, Cammarelle, Joshua and Jalolov at their respective Gold metal stages.
I LOL when I hear English speaking fans whine about his schooling of Hrgovic and the very good but comparatively robotic Joe Joyce to earn the gold, who "La Conquete" dispatched thrice, twice in 2015 and at the 2016 Olympics. Deal with it. As far back as 2010 he was drubbing Joseph Parker at the youth games. But it's the GREAT work being done with Virgil Hunter, who insists that Yoka is going to be the best Big man since Ali tha has really sold me.

Lolllllllllll
