Bakole wins all day. All day.

For as unimpressed as I've been by Big Baby I'm kinda expecting him to win

This is quietly a colossal fight. For real boxing fans these guys are the top of the up and coming new crop of fighters. To have them going at it, at this time is reminiscent of the 80's and 90's boxing scene. Two heavy hitters too. A real test for J. Anderson. If he can battle and withstand punches from Bakole he will be able to battle and stand with any of the larger super-heavyweights in the division. Bakole, though not well known, may be the most dangerous super HW. Anderson is going to grow up real fast whether he wins or loses.

Bakole is an X-factor. Micahel Hunter caught him young, inexperienced, and injured. I don't expect he will be any of those this weekend. A big, tough guy. how good is he? No one knows but we're about to learn a lot. Kudos to the Saudis for a great matchup.

still not convinced that Andy is the future of HW boxing or even will have a long and impressive future in boxing but we willl see what becomes of him this fight for him is another stepping stone and a stone that i hope turns into a lot more then that when they get inside the ring........Let them knock each other around for 8 or nine rounds so rocks and some knocks and getting back up would be nice..............enjoy the fights

I don't see anything special in either of these but credit where it's due, this is the sort of fight that should be made to decide if someone deserves more of a shot.

Particularly surprised at Anderson taking the fight. I thought his handlers would have been scared to death of writing off the only US heavyweight in any contention.

50/50 fight for me. As much as I'd prefer Bakole, I just think the division benefits from a US presence.

Anderson will have his hands full with Bakole. He'd better bring his "A" game.
