Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
Wow, that's a lot of Bakole. Career heaviest and then some. I might have a bet on Takam.

Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
I will be interesting to see if he carries the weight well or his work rate drops quickly. Very odd to come in that heavy.jwfg wrote: ↑27 Oct 2023, 15:50Wow, that's a lot of Bakole. Career heaviest and then some. I might have a bet on Takam.
Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
I liked hunter. He was the biz that night. Shame he never really pushed on. Prob a case of who needs him?
Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
There's no way it can be a good thing. He's 24ib heavier than when he fought Yoka. Takam is a very live dog after six rounds. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he the Frenchman takes this one.big lennox wrote: ↑27 Oct 2023, 15:55I will be interesting to see if he carries the weight well or his work rate drops quickly.

Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
If he doesn't get the KO, Takam can outwork him.
Takam is 11/2 to win. 12/1 to win by KO. 10/1 on points. Think I'll bet on that.
Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
A few days ago, I put on an incredibly speculative £5 on...... Bakole, Adeleye, Kean, Henandez and Tabiti. If they all win, I get £10,178.43.

Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
Jesus there must be a reason for this, you don't need to weight over 21.4 stone to beat Takam. This smacks of a poor camp.
I think however, that Takam is done.
Certainly makes it more interesting though.

If Takam gets encouragement early on the fight, It's going to be a VERY long night for Martin.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑27 Oct 2023, 16:34 Jesus there must be a reason for this, you don't need to weight over 21.4 stone to beat Takam. This smacks of a poor camp.

I've got a strange feeling that Parker-Kean is going to be a really competitive fight.joshj909 wrote: ↑27 Oct 2023, 16:47good luck with that one. I went with a less brave: Takam on points and Wardley/Adeleye not to go the distance with possible returns of £141.43

I think Parker v Kean is a sleeper as well.
I mean Parker blows hot and cold and Kean is hardly crap looking at his record?

Kean record is padded, but he was a decent amateur with some good wins.jameswilson wrote: ↑27 Oct 2023, 18:39 I think Parker v Kean is a sleeper as well.

Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
There’s a YouTube undercard stream from 5pm, so hopefully on there.
Re: Martin Bakole vs Carlos Takam
He’s almost turned this into some sort of novelty pairing hasn’t he, that wouldn’t be out of place on a misfits card.
Oh balls I just remembered what the top of the bill is…

Very Saudi, one ring for the royalty, and another one for the commoners
