Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole: who wins and why?

What will be bakole excuse when he loses?

Err, he literally didn't have a camp. If that isn't an excuse IDK. Every boxer is meant to go into camp & train. Even Sonny Liston, even Roberto Duran, you can be the baddest MoFo on the planet & you can murder almost everyone on your worst day. You are still meant to be given time to get in shape.

I slightly favour Bakole tbh. Even though its late notice and hes fat. Hes a big, powerful guy and I think he can probably sustain pressure on Parker the way Joyce did to break Parker down.

Its a good fight anyway, not easy to call. If it wasnt for one guy coming in relatively unprepared I wouldnt say it was a lesser fight than Dubois/Parker.

Great contest , nobody wants to deal with Bakole but Parker has no problem with it , just has he had no problem facing Dubious after his destcution of hapless Joshua

From the moment I started reading your post I was waiting for the moment where Joshua somehow randomly gets mentioned

I see the fight going in a different way. Although I believe Parker takes it, mostly due to the obvious reasons, I don't see Bakole as the aggressor in the early stages; I see him sitting on the ropes and welcoming Parker to a trade, of which Bakole would cover up mostly.

I don't see him chasing Parker around early. If Parker takes the bait, which I believe he would, then Bakole would then come out in the mid stages and give it his all. Will it be enough? Maybe. Maybe not.

Bakole’s flight apparently lands at 2am local time on Saturday, I can’t imagine that bodes well for his chances at all.
