How do you really rate Bakole?

[deathofaclown]

I'm not convinced s.

hes a big handful for sure but I thought he was lucky to get a decision over Kuzmin. He lost to Hunter, but people blame the injury for that. He looked good vs Anderson, but is Anderson that good?

People often jump to the defence of Bakole when i mention Hunter stopping him. But I'd urge them to watch his fight with Kuzmin, I felt he lost and Kuzmin is Euro level..

I do think he could be a tough fight for anyone on the day. Just not sure i buy that hes some big wrecking machine.

The same as you.

Thought he beat Kuzmin 6-4 in a dull fight. I think an argument can be made that he's coming into his prime now. He seemed so assured in the ring vs Anderson, like he fully believes in what he was doing and what he can do. I think sometimes that can take a while to find. Fights are won and lost in the mind, and I think Bakole has hit that point where he knows how to bring the best out of himself physically and mentally. He's a big unit with power and an intimidating presence, and now knows how to use the tools he possesses. Anderson was terrified of him. Nash out - His Majesty
