Comments Thread For: Martin Bakole stuns Jared Anderson for fifth-round stoppage win

[SUBZER0ED]

Anderson, the next great American hw? Nah.

[eco1]

I was dead wrong because I thought he was there to be hit. I didn't know he was injured in the fight he lost. As for Anderson, I didn't like him and I don't. Talks too much and is overhyped.

Man Bakole put on a show. Big man throws nothing but bombs, knew he would blast Anderson ,hype train derailed this only confirms the american hw scene at its all time lows.

That is because Canelo hasn't gone there, according to the Canelo fans.

We all been wrong. I was shocked Loma lost to Teo, Wlad to Fury, etc. Said the same thing, levels to this game and on and on. It’s all good.

True, but depending on how arrogantly one asserts their prognostications, one can end up looking very dumb.

After getting hurt and dropped what happened to ring generalship like moving, boxing and speed using your dammmmm legs, but the worst part was the interview using the (N) word like it's ok and everyday vocabulary this was so non-fan friendly! We'll be waiting on you to man up, for all he kids who may look up to you and to think I traveled to Toledo to see you fight.

He says it himself

Zhang and Parker are supposedly fighting their rematch at the end of the year. We will see how far up the rankings the Anderson win sends Martin, maybe if he could get someone like Ajagba or Kebayel (both currently ranked higher at the moment) in the ring...

if Parker v Zhang happens again, then i think the fight to make is Bakole v Kabayel. Turki seems to have a select group of heavyweights he likes to use.

Really though, I hope we don't get the Parker v Zhang rematch, nobody needs it. I'd prefer Parker v Kabayel and Zhang v Bakole.

Completely agreed on these points. I think I'd favor Kabayel and Bakole in those matchups but who knows.

Kabayel is aggressive and attacks the body, he upset a lumbering hulk in Makhmudov and a slick boxer (albeit with an injured knee) in Sanchez.

Maybe Zhang lands dynamite on Martin, but if he can't drop Bakole I see Martin's pace getting to Zhang.

Hahahahahahaja
P.S. hahahhahahahaha

you anderson jock sniffers need to never comment again. Anderson was nothing more than a mediocre, manufactured fighter.

This has good to be the weakest era for American heavyweights ever, what happened did they all go to football and basketball?

Not exactly. The NBA only steals 450 athletes, the NFL only takes 1,693 during the season, and fighting is a different skill set entirely. In fact, its a very good bet that Anderson is a better Football and Basketball athlete than Bakole is.

In the US, there are more good, well paying jobs than there are people to fill them, and all the would-be Pro Fighters are working full-time doing safer and more reliable jobs, buying homes, land, new cars, boats, motorcycles, taking trips and saving for their future. Anyone who isn't doing that in America chooses not to.

But it IS an amazing thing to witness!
Nobody wants to get punched in the face anymore in the US to make their living.
