Comments Thread For: Beware Martin Bakole? Or beware the heavyweight hype?

Atm Bakolie isn't even Joe Joyce 3 fights ago.

I'm just happy heavyweights are now aloud to step up into mandatory positions without politics & the likes of Fury Wilder & Aj holding belts hostage with contracts fighting ever 9 months stagnating the division.

3 fights ago Joe Joyce had just demolished Joseph Parker, so yeah I can agree with that.

Great article.

Is Bakole the next best up and coming HW? Impossible to know for sure ATM. Ajagba is not a world beater himself, but has improved his form recently. As Raskin suggested in his article, this next fight will tell us a lot. Solid HW fight and a great compliment to that high profile card.

This guy is nothing more than another Sam Peter. Old, slow and would get exposed once he fights someone with a pulse. Look what happened to Peter when he fought Wlad....hey got wrecked

This big black man—Bakole，is one of the most dangerous heavyweight boxers, and I believe he can threat anyone in the heavyweight. Believe it or not, I think he will KO his opponent Ajagba in May, and We will see this event.

haha, really? I don't think so. I believe he is a competitive boxers in heavyweight.

Bakole will lose to anyone good, be it Usyk, DDD, Parker, Zhang. But hes still a great name for your resume. Jared Anderson win is good, but Jared stood in front of him too long.

Bakole is decent top 10 hw right now. I don`t think many guys beat him.

So was Sam Peter. He won the WBO too as well. Bakole has no title and never had one.

He's at least fun to watch and a good personality for the division. Reminds me of the Joe Joyce hype train before it ran into Big **** Zhang and got derailed. It's a pity Zhang is so old. He's good at showing the truth of guys.

Geez... These days the boxing world is bizarro... We keep fighters fighting once in a blue moon, then we cry "Well we cannot really overhype (insert name here)." Baloney. Bakole has passed every test in front of him... The only people he has not been exposed to are the very top of the division. He is jelled just as Parker is jelled. It is a weak division and Bakole's biggest problem is nobody will dare fight him... period. By any obvious understanding of the sport and people coming up, Bakole will be a juggernaut. Who will beat him? A hot prospect? Jared was much farther along than Torres, or Moses Ituama. He already went through the average names in the division...

Bakole has one big probem: Nobody wants to lose a fight... Period. Right now he would probably be a tough fight and even beat Usyk.
