Comments Thread For: Martin Bakole likely to feature on undercard of rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

He's fighting Bakhodir Jalolov for the interim WBA title. Just announce the fight there the co main on the Usky vs Fury 2 card and
The Whole card is
Usky vs Fury 2
Bakole vs Jalolov
Hrgovic vs Huni - IBF Eliminator
Khalil Coe vs Dan Azeez
Andy Cruz vs Hartunuyan - Interim WBA belt
Madrimov vs Boachuk

Prelims
- Hughie Fury vs Jermaine Franklin
- Goodall vs Yoka - WBC eliminator - Idk how Yoka is getting a eliminator but its sanctioned.
- Ziyad Almaayouf vs Maurice Hooker

Open Workout fights
- Lewis Crocker vs Gabriel Maestre - WBA gold
- Jack Turner vs Floyd Diaz
- Diyab Simon Dabschah vs Sullivan Barrera

That's the full card I think it's a tough fight for Bakole and not the right fight.

Thanks man .

I think that Bakole is going to knock off another prospect.... Timberrrrrrr

Madrimov - Bohachuk is also a good matchup.

Why Hrgovic gets to be in an "eliminator" fight is a mystery to me.
He looked terrible getting stopped last time out.

Bakole vs Jalolov is a solid fight. Jalolov's resume as a pro is abysmal when looking at the names and records of the opponents going into a fight with Bakole, but he also has size, and power, and AM experience is tops. He's had 3 fights since 11/26/2022 though.

I know that he's a decorated amateur but my first thought when I saw his name in an eliminator is, "what has he done as a professional to deserve it?".

It's still a helluva fight. I'm curious to see how Jalolov reacts when a big man is throwing back big punches at him in the professional ranks.

Reading that post I was thinking the exact same thing. Good card, nevertheless, if it is true.

I thought the WBA nonsense was finally ending when charr/Pulev winner becomes mandatory. Now you got Bakole fighting for the interim belt? Back to the 3 belt garbage? WTF? Just make winner of the Bakole fight the winner of Pulev/Charr for the mandatory spot.

Bakole Gives All the top 5 heavyweights fits. Potentially beats anyone in top 10 exception of Usyk, maybe fury would be 50.50 going in.

He is def a load, and active as well, BUT, he has not competed against elite competition, and lost to a suspect opponent, the jury is still way out on how good he can be.

I'm a big fan of Bakole. I hope he doesn'r rest on his laurels and keeps training extremely hard for his next fight. I want to see added condition and sharpness in his next fight. If he keeps training hard and stay active, he can only get better. And that makes him very dangerous

Good Intel. Some interesting HW fights (I wont bother addressing Fury/Usyk since its been addressed as nauseum):

Bakole vs Jalolov: Bakole is a big bruiser that appears to have a sturdy chin. Jalolov is also big and hits hard but he's untested in the professional ranks. How will he handle someone throwing heat back at him?
Hrgovic vs Huni: Hrgovic is big and stiff with leaky defense and doesn't like to get hit. I haven't seen much of Huni but he seems athletic and not too heavy handed.
Hughie Fury vs Jermaine Franklin: This one had the potential to be a stinker. Fury not the heaviest hitter and he tends to be a bit passive in fights. Franklin doesn't exactly push a blistering pace himself. I see two guys who will paw and jab with each other and a guaranteed decision.
Goodall vs Yoka: Goodall is is tough, basic and hits hard. He's stepped up 3 times and lost 2 (only win against Stephan Shaw). Yoka is more athletic and better skilled but he's looked spent recently. This is Yoka's last legitimate opportunity to make a run.
