Martin Bakole vs. Michael Hunter - 13 October 2018

[handsofstone]

I’m tempted to watch this instead of Ritson if the 2 fights clash.

Remember there's channel 5 +1

True. Not like we have sky sports +1 channels. I have 5 on Demand too. Good thing is, i’m likely to get a notification for Ritson, I won’t grt a notification for the Bakole fight.

I’ve noticed, Channel 5 main events are really late.

Just record one and watch the other the. Watch the recording after. That should take you up to the Crawford fight starting, more or less....

im more interested in this, interesting fight for sure, could see either winning. bakole is bigger and prob stronger but hunter is more skilled and had some moments vs usyk. he also beat kiladze no less impressively then joyce and kownacki did and didnt look bad as a hw.

ritson will just walk his guy down and beat him up. to me stuff like 'will he stop him early?' isnt really too interesting. okay, lets say patera has some moments and lasts a bit, so what. id be very surprised if its not a clear ritson win and a stoppage at some point

What times Crawford meant to be walking out? I might not watch that live to be honest.

100% agree here Jam.

Much more interesting because you just don’t know which way it’s gonna go.

Not sure on what the he'll be walking to ring mate. Show starts at 2am. I'm out all night so I've set it to record and I'll watch it on Sun. I've not even checked the undercard yet..

[Ruthless-RKO]

Channel 5 starts from 10pm.. I'm guessing they only showing the Bakole vs. Hunter fight..

However you can catch the undercard on 5 Spike from 8pm!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Anyone bothered tuning in to 5 Spike??

[Counter-puncher]

Anyone bothered tuning in to 5 Spike??

Yup. McGregor was in a decent little scrap and some cruiserweight Billan-Smith was in a decent one too. Just into Chantelle Cameron last couple of rounds and wondering if I'm the only one thinks she's better than Katie Taylor

[pyenest77]

I did!

[knockout]

Looking forward to this fight, Hunter has good pedigree and Martin has by all accounts been looking great sparring the likes of Fury , Joshua and Dubois . He has a nice style and heavy hands, he could be something special. Glad he has come in lighter than his last fight but could probably be a bit lighter still .

[Oiky]

Bakole going to get stoppage

[lillywhite14]

Hunter started well but think the size will make the difference eventually.

Why did he leave cruiser? Losing to Uysk is ok. He’d beat Bellew for example.

[Counter-puncher]

3 good and interesting fights tonight well done C5

[Tuan_Jim]

I read that this Bakole was "like Riddick Bowe". I didn't realise they meant the 40 yr old Riddick Bowe who made a comeback. Horrible!

Danny Williams he ain’t

[Boxing Prospect]

Jesus Billy pull him out ffs!

‘We’ll repair the shoulder after the fight’

Fair play to Hunter. Delighted for him

[adamwillan]

Can't believe Billy told him to throw his right and risk a worse shoulder injury.

He obvs wasnt in the mindset to carry on fighting and took unnecessary punches

[Boxing Prospect]

Can't help but feel Billy Nelson's ego has just totally ruined his fighter there! Stupid

[Pukka Cheese]

Great performance from Hunter!

[lillywhite14]

Didn’t Hunter get robbed in the ams against Fury?

[Exoddus]

Great fight that. Bakole should have been retired. He didn't need to take that beating in that last round.
