Comments Thread For: IBF fireworks: Purse bids ordered for Martin Bakole-Agit Kabayel for November 5

Big huge if.

How many amateur and pro fights does he have? You listed two fights that show him hurt to the body, and a sparring partner who runs his mouth (which means nothing).

Seems like a pretty flimsy case.

Also, I think AJ tickled his jaw a bit in their first match especially. But neither that nor anything else prevented him from steamrolling through CW and HW.

So I'm not saying he's superman, but he's def impressive and I'm sure not going to theorize about his supposed weaknesses.

Usyk is impressive - no question about that. His insane work rate and incredible conditioning allow him to set a pace that so far nobody has been able to match and they all inevitably wilt in the later rounds. But, as I said, IF he has a weakness, it is the body. Fury attacked his body in the first fight but could not put him down. No doubt he will do it again in the rematch, perhaps even with more force. Let's see what happens.

Good fight if it comes to fruition. Kabayel has looked impressive but as Tatabanya points out, the Makhmudov win hasn't aged well and Sanchez definitely seemed less mobile and sturdy on his legs in that fight. Kabayel has a win over Chisora and that is something. Bakole has smashed Yoka, Takam and Anderson and before that he defeated Kuzmin.

I'm not entirely sure what to expect but it will be fun watching it unfold.

I am down for this.

Bakole has a gut that's just asking to be Kabayeld!

This is a great fight. Good for the IBF. They are getting some good press here for at least trying to make this tussle. So they should be stripping DuBois sometime in November and making this for the title just to keep up company standards.....

Really happy the division is moving on after stagnating for year's before Usyk. A great match up which has me intrigued instead of already knowing the result.
Kabayel the preasuring body snatcher against a shear brute in Bakolie. Imo the winner deserves be facing the winner of Usyk & Fury.

Eddie & his cash cow cashing out & ducking again as usual seeking the path of least risk most reward, Aj at 6-4 in his last 10 is approaching del boy territory. How entitled to do you have to be. The only fight Aj deserves is Wilder.

That would make him 6-5 in his last 11, even now.

Dubois will never fight Zhang or Bakole. AJ will try to cash out with Fury. This is the state of modern boxing.

Fight the mandatory or get stripped. That's the way it should be. We all know Dubois doesn't want to see guys like Zhang and Bakole and Eddie wants to cash AJ out with the remains of Fury.
