That’s what he was announced at I just double checked.
Wow, that's a lot of Bakole. Career heaviest and then some. I might have a bet on 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

:lol: good 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've got a strange feeling that Parker-Kean is going to be a really competitive fight.

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.

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…
