IS DANIEL DUBOIS DUCKING MARTIN BAKOLE???

[@joshh8430]

I’m glad bakole is starting to get back a bit of respect that he lost from fans after the hunter fight

[@llewbach77]

I like Bakolie but I feel his trainer and fitness are lacking at World level and for him to step up will need to be addressed.

[@joshh8430]

llewbach77 his trainer is fine, and his cardio isn’t that bad. Not all word level fighters have amazing cardio at heavyweight. Look at Ortiz/povetkin/whyte/kownacki who all gas after 5-6 rounds

[@llewbach77]

@@joshh8430 He looked a bit gassed and flat footed and struggled with Hunters foot work so it depends on the type of guy he's fighting next as a guy like Takam or Teper would be decent tests.

[@joshh8430]

llewbach77 takam and teper aren’t on the same level ahahaha And also, his head wasn’t in a good place for the hunter fight, he definitely should have pulled out beforehand. But there’s no shame in losing to hunter who is without a doubt top 10 right now

[@Boxing187]

Yup ddd vs bakole make it happen

[@kieronmalcolm3959]

I thought the whole point of Frank Warren's BT deal was to get more exposure and pay better purses, but instead there are less shows than what was on Boxnation and the standard has been poor.

[@sclayton6467]

Good fight, can't pick a winner. Warren talks about Dubios fighting Whyte next and fighting for a world title in 2020. But realistically he's making the same mistakes as he did with Yarde. Needs to step up but not dramatically. He's young and has time in his hands

[@ArseneWengerIN]

I swear man,it's the SAME thing I've been saying, Dubois will keep fighting bums and eventually be mandatory for the WBO ,and will get stopped. You saw his last fight,why was he fighting a scared Japanese Yokozuna son???Buffles me! Bakole is HIGHLY underrated,Aj,Fury ALL praise Bakole,he' strong and has a good chin,yes he got "stopped" by Micheal hunter, but personal family issues messed up him up. He's going to be a future world champion IMO,and I think if Aj will still have the belts in 2yrs from now,don't be surprised,Aj vs Bakole in Congo,Africa 😂 I've personally seen Bakole spar,hits hard man,and can move his feet.

There is nothing to gain from Bakole fight for Dubois. For me Dubois needs to export his brand abroad to a major country/city. This would make the UK public take note as well as the international public. Put the fight on BBC or ITV in the UK. So for me it's Dubois vs Romanov in Moscow or Dubois vs Zhang in Beijing. Those fights would be immense and put Dubois on the international map. Failing those two fights then Dubois vs Bryan or Washington in the USA.

[@mcr2356]

I see what you mean but no one would watch either fight. It would need a joshua name to generate interest as both fighters are not known to the public even in their own country. They defo wouldn't fight Dubios either. Not worth the risk for them.

I was not remotely impressed by hunters performance against an aging Povetkin. People say Hunter won but he actually looked pretty meh despite nearly getting Povetkin out of there in the first round, a young former cruiserweight fighter should not be looking less fit than a 40 year old. And this same Hunter handled Bakole. Dubois would walk through him. It would be a useful fight, but even when Dubois beats him people will go right back to saying Dubois hasn't fought anyone. Lol who knew not being signed with Matchroom could mean that no one respects your talent....

[@marko9506]

@@Frank.and.Beanzz It would be a good fight, but money wise it would be pointless.

Daniel Dubois is a good prospect..I like his chances against Martin Bakole...nevertheless it's definitely going to be a very competitive fight. Bakole is levels above Lartey and Tete. The fight with Lartey was exciting and interesting while it lasted. Was it in the 3rd round when during an exchange Lartey hit Dubois with 2 hard punches causing Dubois to leap out of range with a loud scream..*mama*!! Imagine what Bakole would do to him. Not to mention Hrgovic, Hunter, Povetkin, Chisora, Whyte etc AJ and Wilder will simply murder him. Wipe off that "i like milk goofy smile" he's always wearing on his face. Give him a couple of years, if he's properly guided, will definitely be a major threat in the heavy weight division.
