I think Bakole is a better boxer then Parker and on an even playing field he would win. With no camp and jetlag he's got a few rounds to try and land something before Parker should take over.
I think you're being harsh on him, he's always been underrated imo, he's just, unfortunately for him ( and others ) been in and around some very good heavyweights that he'll never been as good as. Beauty of sport though, we all see it differently
I think he was very disappointing for a long time but is finally realising his potential/ability and boxing consistently.
To many decisions like that happening ATM unfortunately. Bet uncle frank won't complain at those judges though like he has been recently
Definitely! Doesn't look like they're hurting him to much, bar one in that last round..... As with bakole though, fair play for stepping in at such short notice and lasting this long against a very very good fighter
Body shots finished him off. What a great performance though, taking the fight at short notice. Brilliant effort.
Andy Lee has done some job with Parker. He never used to be able to punch like that and tactics are generally spot on these days.
