Bakoke is some unit. Showed very good punch variety

I thought Anderson would have similar mobility as Michael Hunter who made it so difficult for Bakole sticking him on the backfoot but I got it all wrong. Bakole way too strong and pretty much ran over Anderson. Fight probably should've been stopped earlier too.

Hopefully some big fights to follow for Bakole. He'd be a problem for a lot of the big name heavyweights.

that was a really easy fight for Bakole. Anderson had no answers at all. Watched Eddie do an interview and he reckons get Bakole in with Zhang. Good fight but I reckon Zhang has the power for him. Him and Parker would be a good one too.
ruiz must be all but done now.

Never rated Anderson tbh. Never saw him as future of the division or anything close to it.

nah not really. He’d fought nothing and this was a huge step up. He needs to rebuild. He did show some good heart in that fight. I’d fear for him that every time he steps up to top or close to top level he will get knocked out

Anderson recently said he finds boxing a chore and hates the training and because of that he wants to retire at 26/27 so doesn’t sound like his heart is in it.

did he really it’s not long ago he was gonna be world champion and take over from fury.

Bakole Hunter rematch would be good. Funny, Hunter has faded away since the Povetkin draw. Bakole is massive now compared to then I think that fight would retire Hunter

why wouldn’t it be?

i see makhmadov is up again this week. Apparently he broke his hand in the agit K fight. Plenty of ability there yet
