Tony Yoka vs. Martin Bakole - May 14, 2022

[milpool]

Yoka needs a breakout performance, this is the time for him to step up and show us how good he is. A dominant win against Bakole will cement him into that mix below the top end of the heavyweight division and mark him out as a real contender.
Another sub par effort and I doubt anyone will be bothered about him going forward.

Bakole is there to be walloped .
3/4 rounds and the guillotine falls .

I think it's a good fight for Yoka to batter Bakole. It was hard to watch Nelson refusing to pull Bakole out when Bakole was begging him to do it vs Hunter. I wonder what will happen tonight when he starts taking a hiding from Yoka

Excellent news, wonder who the comm will be, Rawlings maybe ? Yoka gotta be fave, otherwise the Frenchies have made a calamitous mistake, but Martin is a very live underdog, It’s hard to remember much about Martin since that hugely damaging defeat to Hunter, But I remember thinking he looked good early, and Hunter is a nightmare to fight - if he’s got real belief and comes out winging, he could well upset the French golden goose here. Excellent heavy crossroads fight, the French prez was at Yokas last fight….

[Glass Joe]

what happened to Rawlings? seems to got the boot in favour of the football guy.

[JamesPhilips]

I can see a similar fight to Yoka last one against Djeko….. but stopping an exhausted Bakker in 9.

I’d like to see Martin do it would be awesome

[JamesPhilips]

Does the allegedly show start at 8?

[MightyWarrior]

Yes I heard 8

Undercard looks diabolical

[Verdi]

Bakole for the 'upset', although in my eyes it's a close fight. I don't think Yoka is all that, much better up and comers out there imo. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but I don't see the hype tbh.

[JamesPhilips]

Anyone watching? Surely Victor Yoka is not Tony’s brother? He’s way darker. Cousin?

[MightyWarrior]

Yeah I was just saying he doesn’t look anything like him, looked pretty good though

Any idea of time for main event?

France are 1 hour ahead? So I’d imagine 9:30?

[MightyWarrior]

Its an 8 rounder coming up, after another break, then Yoka time, so it could be 30 minutes away, maybe 45.

Slightly eccentric new commentator on the mic, a bit of the Steve Holdsworth about him

You might make it! Another fight before Egg Yoka

[Glass Joe]

watch prize fighter final and then yoka.

[CMCanavessi]

Fight is starting... is there a specific round by round thread or we'll use this one?

[MightyWarrior]

Marty Looking confident. Gets a hug from WBC Cruiser champ, from Congo too I think …

[MightyWarrior]

Marty bossing it, Yoka getting hit and flustered

[CMCanavessi]

10-8 Bakole.

Yoka looks like he won't last long unless he starts running and tyring Bakole. Glass chin said anyone?
