while andy lee is the reason behind the tactical improvement , george is the big reason behind the physical transformation in Joe , funny how he says when he first started working with him , he thought he was joking how weak he was in the gym .

Sounds just like Tony Robbins !
Good on him, obviously a massive factor behind JPs transformation.

@MN5 rumours bakole will replace him , not a title fight but a difficult opponent on short notice,
I’ll still be watching, a great card

Absolutely. Always great watching Zhang.
I just assumed the Parker fight would be cancelled

So much money involved they tend to have replacements on stand by ,
Shakur Stevensons opponent pulled out a few days ago and they named a new opponent within hours , a young fighter ranked about 10 in the world who hasn’t had a payday yet . On Monday he will be able to buy himself a nice house and a flash car . Life changing money .

Not really as high on Bakole as others are. I think he's a tad overrated.
Still, a good replacement for 1 days notice, and Bakole has been waiting for his shot for a while.

I think it’s a risk v reward thing , he’s pretty much an unknown to the casual fan so he’s not selling many ppvs ,
Add to that he’s a tad dangerous , it’s not smart business for the bigger names

Joe finding out it’s bakole

How can you not like Parker ?
Great guy, lets hope he does the business.
In terms of Bakole 22-1 is a very good record, not exactly littered with huge names to be fair.
Worth noting he knocked out Carlos Taken who Parker could only get a decision against, then again that was "young" Parker who has improved out of sight since then.
Fairly sure that's their only common opponent ?

@MN5 I think a lot will depend on what condition he is in ,
Taken this fight on 2 days notice and jumped on a plane from the Congo , who knows what he has been up to as far as his fitness is concerned, throw in a bit of jet lag on top.
It’s potentially good timing for Joe to get that name on his resume you would think

Takam was well past it by the time he faced Bakole, he also barely got past Sergey Kuzmin (I thought Kuzmin dud enough to at least get a draw) and got stopped earlier in his career by Michael Hunter.
He's a fringe top 10 contender and that's about it. He's OK at everything without standing out in a particular area.

The disappointing thing for me , and I’ve been a critic in the past, but everything was aligning for him and coming together nicely, and I honestly believe Joe was in his prime condition to pinch this .

Nice Joe , way to make a statement
