Comments Thread For: Martin Bakole says Moses Itauma did well against ?a bum?

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

No professional fighter should call another professional fighter that tries hard and has taken their licks a bum. It is disrespectful to the sport. If you wanted to start throwing insults like that, let's talk about your laziness coming in to fights gigantic with fat that is slowing you down.
It is a shame because Bakole had his chance to actually be the boogey man, but you don't have that weight being super hard working.

Disappointing that Bakole would describe Balogun as a "bum". I will give Mike credit; he was outclassed but at least he was looking to land his own leather in there and I thought he may have caught Itauma at least once (to no real effect).

Yes, balogun actually tried which is all you can ask

And he got up to fight on, when he could’ve easily stayed down after each of the first 2 KDs , especially the 2nd one and walked away with less damage.

That was funny but true from Bakole . Looks like the Big Fella want’s that fight with Itauma . Hope it happens .

i dont really rate bakole that highly but he would be a huge step up for itauma and im not sure hes ready
hope im wrong though because i think he has loads of potential and is good to watch

He seems like the kind of opponent wilder would fight so bum is fair

I know that you have an obsession with Wilder but you do know that I'm not a Wilder fan correct?

Rag on Bakole all you want but he is 100% correct about Balogun.
Mike Balogun has a record built up on beating fighters with losing records, with his only highlights of his career are getting KTFO by Gassiev, and ending the masquerade career that was Trey Lippe *Morrison (who had no business getting in the ring in the first place).
He seemed big & tough, but that's it, and looked every bit a retired football player that shouldn't be in the ring.

Not that Itauma doesn't have potential to be a great heavyweight, and KO'ing somebody while going backwards shows some high level skills, but let's pump the brakes on the next coming of heavyweight greatness until he gets in there with more skilled competition.
