The hype around this guy is something else.
He's had 3 notable fights
Hunter. Who was schooling Bakole up BEFORE Bakole got injured and quit, and Bakole has constantly avoided rematching ever since.
Yoka. It was funny watching Bakole expose Yoka, but what is Yoka? The french David Price. It's not exactly an impressive scalp is it.
Anderson. An overhyped prospect who had proved nothing and was lucky to make it to the end of the fight vs Prince Charles Martin who had him out on his feet.
Why are we supposed to believe Bakole is a different fighter to the one who had nightmares vs Hunter? There's literally NOTHING he's done since that fight to suggest he's any better than he was then.
Don't get me wrong, Bakole is an entertaining addition to the division, and against guys with shaky chins who are going to stand stock still in front of him, he's dangerous. But he's got massive flaws that have already been shown up.
The Ortiz comparison is apt, people are going WAY overboard. And tbf at least Ortiz had an impressive KO win over Jennings who was proven at a higher level than Anderson going for him. There's NOTHING to back up the Bakole hype.
