    He certainly passes the eyeball test against marginal opposition that he has fought so far. He has good form good power, size, and Olympic gold pedigree. He certainly looks like a guy Wilder and AJ would steer clear of, and could possibly be part of Fury’s motivation to retire, I believe Yoka is also a Top Rank fighter too yes?

      Bakole is nothing special, he look like fresher version of Takam for me. But Yoka has no business being nowhere near world level of heavyweight boxing. He got caught with everything Bakole threw on him with his lazy hands.

        People with actual boxing knowledge knew Yoka was never gonna be a serious contender. I've said it before.

        They can gift you a bogus olympic gold medal and protect you in the pros but at some point you're gonna have to show what you're made of against guys who fight back in sink or swim type of fights and Yoka just can't swim. He's not built for this.

        Hrgovic would have hurt him badly.

          Yep . I went against my own rule which is always know who’s coming out of a great training camp . I knew Bakole took in a ton in the Fury camp in retro spect I also think that’s why Fury boxed extremely well against Whyte .

              You think he boxed Whyte well because of Bakole? Dude, every version of Fury beats Whyte.

                Bakole literally has wooden legs

                He can’t extend or flex them

                Slowest feet I’ve ever seen

                    I'm delighted that this is the first thread I saw since logging into my account after years.

                      Tony Yoka My fughin balls

                      He shouldn’t even come close to a 15th ranked heavyweight , he’ll get destroyed

                      If that’s all you got against Bakole , please do yourself and us a favour and change employment

                      A big hitter would and will hurt him badly
