Presser:

Bakole needs this fight more than Wach. Wach at 39 is at the end of the road, and Bakole needs to show us something after being stopped by Hunter. However, Wach should win handily.

Any link to this ? Or tv channel ?

Big win for Martin Bakole as he’s stops

a bit of a surprise! Puts Bakole back on the map.

Good stoppage and strong statement by Bakole!

I guess it's just about game over for Wach.

He always looks so soft around the middle in recent years. He didn't look like that in his prime did he?

unfortunately he wasted his prime

..when was exactly his prime? it seems that every time he stepped up he lost..

until the Klitschko fight, he wasted it fighting nobodies, after Klitschko he had a 2 years break. his prime was probably 2010-2013

Wach just won’t go down!

Better performance that Miller?

Wach looked much worse and slower in this fight than vs Miller. though vs Miller he was injured early. overall, i think that Bakole was impressive in this fight, sharp, strong, quick, smart, he was throwing a lot, he looked like a top 10-15 fighter in this fight.

at first Bakole rejected the offer to fight Wach but after 2 weeks he made a call to the promoter of this event and said that he changed his mind and he wants this fight.

When was that picture taken? Compare his midsection then with the weigh in video above (about 3:45 in the video).

it was taken 9 november 2012. now he has a figure of an lesbian feminist. i heard that it's because he was using peds and then stopped, i have no idea about that and how true it is.

That is a big win. Wach is no world beater obviously, but he's a hard man to stop so getting a KO win over him is a noteworthy achievement indeed.

I would think this is gonna be the end of the line for Wach.

Bakole had a good performance vs Hunter before the shoulder injury.
I scored round 2-5-7-8 for Bakole. If it wasn't for the injury he may have pulled it off

i had hunter up 88-83, didnt think it was close really, even the uk commentary had hunter well ahead

this win of Bakole over Wach elevates Hunter in my personal ranking though i already ranked him high before

I can't say the same when an injury is involved. I had Hunter winning, but it was still competitive.

bakole was getting well outboxed even before the injury, the injury came late in the fight, this sounds like some revised narrative, rightly so at the time bakole was certanly not getting props for some good or close performance, he was well beaten and looked pretty clueless vs a smaller but superior boxer

I thought it was rather competitive, although as I stated, I had Hunter up. Why jump on it?

lol why jump on it? its a forum bruh, for discussing points, dont be so sensitive

i thought bakole looked clueless for the most part vs hunter. didnt really hear talk of him boxing well and it being a close fight until after bakole beat wach the other day. seems a bit of revisionism to me. even the uk commentary had hunter well ahead. bakole did not look good at all imo in that one.
