A 10 week fat camp, that always works out well.

AJ actually has good wins on his resume. I don't believe Grant had even one.Originally posted by Bob View Post

Yes. The gulf in skill level between Martin Bakole and Joseph Parker was immediately apparent 'So what exactly is Bakole's big advantage against his nearest competition at World to Elite level? Power, and Brute Strength. Those are two of Martin Bakole's best attributes, but even in those departments he is hardly miles ahead of his nearest competition'.Originally posted by hitmanjosh View Post
There is no way Micheal Hunter would have ever been able to force a stoppage against any version of Anthony Joshua 'I would also rate Joshua's punching power and offense superior to Bakole's'.
The reason why I have chosen Anthony Joshua to compare with Martin Bakole 'Is because many people question Joshua's durability. But if we check Anthony Joshua's resume, he has fought and beaten more power punchers than Martin Bakole. Anthony Joshua has also shown greater feats of resolve and durability vs Wladimir Kiltschko'.
The attribute of durability is not Anthony Joshua's best attribute 'But even still statistically, there is more evidence that Joshua has greater durability levels than Martin Bakole'. Michael Hunter beat him down and stopped him, and Parker took him out with one punch'.
No fighter has ever been able to get Anthony Joshua out of the ring with a single punch 'Daniel Dubois had to throw everything at Joshua for 5 rounds, and also relied on Anthony Joshua himself amplifying Dubois's power by making unforced errors and wading into punches'.
Martin Bakole's entire game relies heavily on him being able to bull his opponents 'The major issue Bakole has in this regards, is that? He does not have the pressure fighting skills or endurance levels of Rocky Marciano. Bakole's skill level is not much higher than a domestic level fighter, and his durability levels have already been exposed to be in no way impregnable'.
Note: I would expect a fully prepared and trained Martin Bakole, in today's heavyweight era to win against a certain level of fighter 'But when he starts competing against fighters with multiple dimensions to their game, combined with a high skill level. Goodness me, this man is there to be completely smashed up badly'.
Martin Bakole is the same type of fighter as Daniel Dubois 'Neither one of those fighters are skill for skill, very sophisticated fighters. And their entire game relies on them being aggressive, overhauling their opponent's with greater power and brute strength;.
But at least Daniel Dubois is showing some signs of having basic skills above domestic level 'Dubois has technical sound punches, and combinations. Outside of that, I don't really rate Dubois as a skill for skill boxer at World or Elite level'.
Martin Bakole in comparison, is miles more slower than Daniel Dubois 'His boxing fundamentals are terrible, and his conditioning is even more worst'.
To conclude: I am content that Martin Bakole got some reward for his showing of courage, to step up and fight Joseph Parker 'But that is as far as my praise is going to go for him. If people can criticise and ridicule fighters like Tyson Fury for being out of condition at times. Or fighters such as Anthony Joshua for losing fights while gallantly trying to win vs Daniel Dubois'. Then a fighter like Martin Bakole is not going to get any high level of praise from me'.
It was Toney Bellew who once stated 'Fighters like Daniel Dubois, are ether going to win in spectacular fashion or lose in spectacular fashion'. Heavyweight fighters who predominantly rely on just power, and brute strength. But if you analyse their game on a intricate level, it becomes very apparent that it is inevitable they will be obliterated at some point in their careers'.
The same applies to Martin Bakole 'It is only a matter of time once again, before he gets smashed up completely in my opinion' etc.

Billy Nelson was chatting all sorts of shït about Bakole being good to go against Parker and confident of a win.
He couldnt have been more wrong.
Now he's saying Parker wouldn't het the same result with a full camp and would duck him instead.
Yeah sure Billy...GTFOH and take your fat boogey clown with you!Comment

So every fight night we watch out of shape whales... Fighters like Fabio Wardley who was FANTASIC until he fell in love with lady one punch... And we watch these fighters slowly go down in ability as they get more out of shape and older, like Zhang... And then we see fighters with Olympic level amateur skills, and I am talking heavy weights here... And nobody says nuthin.
Bakole admits he took the fight unprepared, acknowledges he was not fit but wanted to set his family up, and suddenly everybody is up in arms about how indecent Bakoles decision was! Let me tell you something folks: First of all? If Bakole, or any of the guys start going through the divisions gates like a hot knife in butter, NONE of these c o c block promoters like Arum will let them fight. And, when was the last time any of these "athletes" like Zhang, had an epiphany and said "We have to real tone down the weight so we can throw a few punches now and then?
And following this trail of events? posters like duggum will say "Moses is a fraud because he is fighting inferior ranked fighters!" As these guys try for a grab at the gold ring...
When Bakole looked dangerous he was NEVER going to even get a fight!!!! He was to be avoided until the cows came home! I fully endorse his actions. Let him do something that makes him look beatable... He seems aware of why he did what he did. Remember when Fury did something similar? and Wilder said "aha! I found me a knockout!?"
Bakole is in a better position than he has ever been in before. He will now get tested. If anyone watches Bakole they will see that he has mad skills. Not only that, since Hunter he has learned to manage the ring much more efficiently, his jab is excellent, he knows how to apply pressure properly and not simply chase a puncher, and when his weight is decent he has a good tank.
I just find it hypocritical that some look at fighters like Wardley, who also has immense talent when not immense himself, and do not see how they are destroying themselves while totally unaware, while Bakole is very cognazent of what he did! and would then suggest to us he will show up much different... If he does not/ I am wrong, I would gladly eat crow on that.

Grant was an excellent athlete who managed to cobble a few nice devistating wins together. He showed cracks against... if memory serves correct, Jawny Ruiz, a fight he won but had problems (I think it was Ruiz)... Even before people believed the hype. Lewis destroyed him because Grant really had no skills, he was reliant upon athletic ability and size and little else. Lewis to his credit took the fight because fans wanted it. His obligation was to face jawney Ruiz, a fighter who threw less punches than his cornerman Stoney! There was never a chance for Ruiz to challenge Lewis and he knew this. People never give Lewis the credit he deserves... The fans asked for it and he delivered...Originally posted by Bob View Post
AJ has proven himself far beyond Grant.
