Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker flattens Martin Bakole in two rounds

[famicommander]

So does Dubois fight in the next 3-4 weeks and if so who?

Usyk called him out yesterday, there's no way he takes another fight unless the Usyk camp explicitly tells him no.

Derek Chisora lol

Martin Bakole showed up simply for a pay check. He was nowhere near in tip-top shape or in peak physical conditioning. However, my hat does go off to Joseph Parker on his knockout victory.

Even though, I still believe once he fights Triple D he will get knocked out or stopped.

At least this will rest the self-claimed boogeyman's hype.

I am sure his team and supporters will keep repeating the short notice, no training camp issues which are largely true but that is on him because he chose to take the fight. As per his own admittance (and those in the know), he was training prior to going to the Congo for a short break...so he was not in a training camp but he had been training. I can understand he was underprepared, not his best weight, lacked timing or footwork, etc. but he did not lose on points or get exhausted in the later rounds or showed he was off-timing, he just got knocked out when the first descent top HW connected.

This doesn't look good at all for him. At least he can take the payday and improve the house he's constructing back home.

What matters is Turki calling him out, not just Usyk.

Usyk is not in camp so that fight ain't happening soon. Dubois last fought in Sept. so does he wait that long or take an interim easy option in-between?

Glad he got the payday, even if maybe his stock might've went down, but you take risks sometimes for money.

His trainer could've let him continue, doesn't look good if wave the white flag so to speak, like that. If he gets ko'd in remaining time or following round, so be it. Back with your shield, or on it.

Told you,
You have to understand the money Bakolie just made makes him a multi billionaire in he Congo. He's living like royalty, not a boxer & who's he ever beaten not in sparring? He's a low level Buster.

At least Padley gave his all.

Being top 10 is pretty good for low level.

Actually read he got 500000 pounds. That is by far the biggest payday & he even has a built in excuse to why he lost so decisively. He dropped in the rankings but got paid handsomely. Much like when Povetkin failed his PED test & Johan Duhaupas got a call on his vacation boat to come be a replacement opponent to save the card. He got 500000 euro on a days notice & haf to borrow gear to fight. He got KO’d in 6 but 500000 euro was too good to pass up & he went right back on vacation with his wife.

If he got 500000 pounds, then good for him...he didnt quit, didnt take a beating, was embaressed a bit...that is life changing money and yeah, good luck to him.
