Martin Bakole is now the substitute opponent to face Joseph Parker on Saturday after IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois pulled out due to a disease today. It was quickly found that the highly ranking #2 WBA and #2 WBO Bakole (21-1, 16 COs) the I will replace as Parker’s opponent for the co-function on Dazn ppv.
The Boogeyman Cometh
The ring broke the news Those bakingols were chosen as the substitute of Parker (35-3, 23 COs). There was no decline, with Bakole now the former WBO heavyweight champion’s opponent. I can predict the appearance of terror that will be in Parker’s eyes if he is chased around the ring by Martin.
I am surprised that Parker has agreed to this battle. You must give him credit for being willing to adopt him because it is a high-risk match for him. Standing up against a phenomy like bakole can end badly for Parker, which has many miles on the kilometer counter. However, the upside is enormous. If Parker overcomes, he will have beaten the Boogeyman in the division and will be placed for a world title.
This is an upgrade because baking can generate power, even in short bumps. He doesn’t have to pick up on his shots as Dubois did to hurt his opponents. Bakole makes me think of Sonny Liston. He has the same ability to gain maximum knockout power on his shorter army, identical to how Liston fought.
It will be a fascinating spectacle for the fans. I just wonder how Parker (33) will handle Bakole’s pressure. This man is not an ancient fossil of the Mesozoic period Some of the dinosaurs, like the guys who recently beat Parker. Bakole is in his head and dangerous.
The New Zealander, Parker, has raised his sinking career with back-to-back victories over 40-ish-heavyweights Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder. However, it is a very different kind of fighter. Bakole, 31, is in his head, fearless and does not have endurance problems. Parker must develop a whole new set of tools to win this battle.
Bakole arrives in Los Angeles on August 3 at a fifth round victory over the previously unbeaten Jared Anderson. He destroyed Anderson and dropped him three times in battle before it was blown off. Since then, Bakole has been waiting for a chance to fight one of the big names, and now he has it.
