I think so too.
Much as I like Bakole, he isn't Frank Sanchez by any means.
I'm glad Bakole has got a decent fight lined up though.

Bakole is overrated. But let him get exposed in his own time.

Can't wait for Billy Nelson to come on and rip us a new asshole.

He's always so defensive.

he is always creating a bit of a story around sparring with Usyk and DD - but not so keen to discuss the kiddy fiddling ..

:lol: So true. He is listed as the same height as Ajagba.
Which is why I think he is going to struggle because Ajagba is actually 6'6" and has a long reach.

Bakole should be right in the mix, right now!

He's on a good run and I get the impression the top ten aren't forming a stampede to face him.

He's worthy of a world title shot but seems to be lacking connections to muscle his way in.

I'd love to see Bakole v Zhang more than any other heavyweight fight :box:

Yeah both guys are absolutely enormous, that is number 1 for me in terms of fights I want to see as well.

yikes. cheers

I didn't see any of this but apparently he wrote something about how disgusting it was and thought he was shaming the rapist by posting it. bit unwise but hopefully that really was his intention.

they're chatting about it on reddit

I mean just the fact he had the content on his device and was able to share it is really damning and could be just the tip of the iceberg .

if it was sent to a WhatsApp group chat he was on it'd automatically be on your phone (unless you change settings) and these group chats are popular in a lot of countries. I'm hoping this was the case, which is what they're saying on the Reddit chat.

bit daft, and not great for anyone else having to see that though on his twitter/insta whatever it was.

the excuse was exposing pedo behaviour and saying it was disgusting etc, but being generous it's daft at best what he did.

Propa does a good investigation into the hype surrounding Bakole, and it makes for an interesting watch.
The changing stories he gives about sparring Joyce, Uysk and Joshua - plus a little footage he probably didn't want us to see :OhYes:



Watch it on YouTube so he can get some £££ :TU:

Love his vids, also does a pod with two of his pals which is good too. Think it's fair to say, he and his trainer spin a few yarns about sparring

The scene of him on his hands and knees puking into a bucket in the ring released by team Joe Joyce after Bakole raved that he stopped Joe in sparring.
Turns out he flaked after 6/10 scheduled rounds :lol:
What a twit :doh:

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I like him as a boxer. There has always been room for a guy like him in the division.
But telling sparring porkies and getting called out about them is really cringe :lol:
And the whole "avoided" "bogey man" labels are so bogus. If Bakole brought belts, fans and money to the table, I'm sure he would be a lot less "avoided'
Meantime, I think this Ajagba fight is a good test for him and it should be a good watch :D
