Comments Thread For: Martin Bakole vs. Agit Kabayel in play for December after IBF order eliminator

[tophat1]

Good fight. Two of the divisions in form fighters. Winner definitely deserves a shot at a version of the belt

[PBR Streetgang]

Is Jalolov not in play anymore? Kabayel is certainly more deserving but I'd be interested in either matchup.

Don't suprise me too much, not sure Zhang gets too much from this fight

ZZ claims that he was better than Hrgovic but he never asked for remach. So I am sure that ZZ is now looking to fight only most popular names. And Bakole is not one of that names.

Bakole was injured in that fight and Hunter is a different fighter anyway, relying on his speed and counter punching.

Agit will go straight at Bakole and meet fire with fire. Problem is, he will walk into someone comfortable on the inside, and just bigger and stronger than him. Like I said, don't fancy Agits chances (though I like the guy a lot)

Ok. He was injured. But to be honest, who cares because he made decission to fight injured. So when he went in to the ring that means that Bakole believed that he was way better than Hunter .......and he lost.
I think that Kabayel is like DDD, we always think he will lose...I tought that he will lose vs Sanchez, I tought he will lose vs Makhmudow because Makhumodov was like Bakole, big strong puncher who will KO anyone who steps in the ring vs him. But now, in my opinion Bakole must prove that he can fight real HW because Anderson is not serious HW. Beside Anderson who did Bakole beat? I see no one. But don't get me wrong, I Like Bakole a lot but I really think that Agit is smart, fast and big big challenge.

But I was wrong before so maybe I am wrong now as well

Both guys coming off big wins against hyped up, but unproven guys (Makmudov, Sanchez and Anderson). They both guys also looked great doing it, it will be a very intriguing fight I will favor Bakole because he is definitely the harder puncher.

I think Jalolov needs that step up. Somebody like Ajagba,miller, Hgrovic etc

Jalolov hasn't fought a pro on their level. He needs to step up and start going after pros now that he has his medals. Will take some time still.

Well I put a bet on Kabayel to KO Sanchez, so I certainly didn't think he would lose lol
Like I said, I like the guy, he gets on the inside and doesn't give people time to breathe, I knew that would be a problem for Frank.

But Bakole is just bigger and stronger. I won't be betting on Agit this time.

Solid fight, hope it gets booked. Both are somewhere around top5 HWs.

True, Zhang needs to win rematches, or win title rather than fight guy nobody wants in bakole
