Fat being the operative word.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑23 Feb 2025, 12:46 the fight with ajaba was still 3 months off - i doubt bakole was even in any serious training yet, hence the career high weight. and he wasnt even in saudi to weigh in with parker and was on a plane 4 hours flight away the day before, after flying 10+ hours not long before that
at the end of the fight he was all smiles and looking giddy to pose for photos
i think he got a nice fat payday and was just happy to be there, knowing full well that he was far from prepared
No doubt he will test positive for cookie dough.
His trainer said he'd been in the gym for 8 weeks, but unless he was in the back office doing the accounts, there was no way he was in the gym.
His trainer sold him down the river for a pay cheque, against arguably the best heavyweight in the world that doesn't hold a title.
Bakole had never fought anyone as good as Parker when supposedly fully fit, so why would they enter into a contest of that magnitude with little or no preparation?
