Lol Zhang was like where you going Deontay!? Heres your fortune cookie!

That is some funny shiiiit.

[mjh1969]

He does not want the big ****. trust me

This was pretty funny. I hope this won't be the last image that we see of Deontay Wilder. Lol. He got clocked.

Fight kabayel or jarrel miller.

I would pay money to watch those fights too. Even though he was impressive against Anderson, I am still not completely sold on Bakole. My two main reasons are lack of dense and lack of stamina. We all know he is strong and he punches in combinations seemingly with effortless ease. I was concerned that he came to the most important fight in his life out of shape and also that he did not even try to defend himself. He was seemingly willing to take Andersen's punches in order to land his own. He did not even defend his body at all. I believe just before the knockout he was starting to feel those punches. That tactic will not work against Zhang or Kabayel who punch much harder.

Bakole impressed me in his wins against an undefeated Yoka and also Kuzmin. It's why I thought he would beat Anderson. Yoka was much more athletic but didn't have enough spite in his punches to keep Bakole from pressing and breaking him down. Against Kuzmin, he faced a big, durable opponent who punches fairly hard.

It's funny because I had seen Kabayel a handful of times before he fought Makhmudov. He looked skilled and decent but nothing special (watch his fights against Chisora and Lazaridis). He dominated both Makhmudov and Sanchez but do we really know if they were any good?

Zhang can hit hard and he has a heck of a chin but that gas tank has failed him a few times (he nearly died in the ring when Jerry Forrest refused to lay down).

I like all three fighters. I couldn't tell you who wins...I could see scenarios for any of the possible results. That's why I would love to watch any of them.

bakole also has a bad gas tank and he doesn't have the chin. ZZ survived against a 6'6 250 lb hard hitting Hrgavic and Parker all 12 rounds. never in any trouble.


Bakole got KTFO by a vegetarian cruiser

I think Parker is being held back as a step in if for whatever reason Fury turtles it.

Parker Usyk for the straps is a good fight!

Then after Parker wins he faces Doobie or The Princess and Fury goes back to crying in his beer and faceplanting sidewalks.

Bakole Kabayel is a good fight too!

Miller is wack and Zhang needs a win to get back in the mix

Miller is not only wack, he's BACK. Top ten again, and ready to eat up Joshua like a Tea Biscuit. If Joshua is ever up for that.

Zhang is now in negotiations for a lucky dog Parker rematch, and this time Parker will stay down like a good boy.

Bakole in the mix deep now.
Anderson hasn't got what it takes in today's market. He'd have earned his shot back in the weak days of the Klitschko brothers for sure.

Agit Kabayel is the sleeper among them all.

Jalolov is the next great one if he doesn't lay an egg like Hrgovic.

[The Big Dunn]

I will watch Bakole in with whoever. He’s the hot guy among the HWT contenders after that Anderson demolition.

Miller still hasn't proved sh.it for him to be back, period.

Was Anderson ever that good ? I mean, really ...

None of these guys coming up seem capable of moving in the ring, except Moses I, and Parker (not talking about the elite of the division). Fabio Wardley looked incredible, then fell in love with his power and looked awful against Clark. Which is to say, Anderson seemed able to stick and move with a nice jab from past fights. I mean his corner did not seem to care, Anderson's own approach was to try to club with the jab, it boggles the mind that no one could have the kid move, stick and work off that jab to set up.

So was the failing with Anderson? can a prospect truly be that bereft of the ability to use basic boxing mobility? Was it his corner? who seemed oblivious as well? Anderson is not obese. Since the time of Figg, when boxing used a totally different vocabulary, fighters seemed to understand the idea of moving around the ring... Yet Anderson doesn't/didn't? I honestly cannot accept that logic unconditionally.

And to top it off, we saw a workman like fighter, give a blueprint of how to stop Bakole... (Mike Hunter). Hunter moves ok, but not exceptionally... All Anderson had to do was follow the blue print.
