Martin Bakole allegedly weighed 310 pounds tonight for his fight against WBO Tuss -Tussy Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Of course, the weight will make him a little slower than the 284 pounds he came in his previous battle against Jared Anderson in August, but that will not affect his punching force. With the extra weight he will have massive power and maybe even more. I don’t see that it hurts his actions tonight.
Parker (35-3, 23 COs) was twice in his last battle against Zhilei Zhang, and he should have been knocked out in that battle if the two-time Olympic did not disappear so early. Bakole will not go out like Zhang. The New Zealander Parker knows a fragile, and he is an old 33 with many miles on him. That’s why he became a runner -up. He cannot handle the younger, stronger heavyweights at his age.
The great payout
“I saw pictures of him at the airport. His face is big, his stomach (is big). What I think is, ‘Why would you do this? The money out here that you pay is not so. Is it really worth it? ”Said Johnny Nelson Seconds About whether Martin Bakole makes a mistake by getting into battle tonight without the benefit of a training camp.
“So he thinks,” I don’t care, because it’s a little reward now because the win is much bigger. “He turns Parker around. He really believes: “If I do it regularly, as I know, I can do you and I am only 60% of myself, I can get rid of you.” I do not understand why he would forfeit such an opportunity for what arrives for him in the future. ‘
Joe Joyce was able to run Joseph Parker and knock him out in 11 rounds in 2022. His hand and foot speed are less than Bakole can do, even at 310 pounds. If he could do it to Parker, bet that Bakole will do the same tonight.
“I don’t understand it. It doesn’t make sense. No one made him do it. He said, ‘Give me that battle. Let me have it. Just think if he turned him around. Just think if he did. Talk about a buster Douglas shock. It’s a big, big shock, ‘Nelson says.
There is too much to earn for bakole not to wage this battle. Not only will he pocket a $ 600,000 report, but he will increase his popularity because of the many box fans who will look at the event. The last thing Bakole wants to do is reject an offer from Turki Alalshikh if he asks him to enter as the replacement.
