I've watched 10's of thousands of professional fights. Hunter never gave up. Bakole is a beast. Hunter showed the biggest heart though. Virtually nothing he threw seemed to hurt Bakole for the entire fight.... until it did. Much respect Hunter
Respect to Bakole. He proved he able to take as much as he is able to give blows...more so that he did it with one hand... Big up to Hunter, too, to be able to fight a bigger guy, like Bakole and take his heavy punches. He was faster that Bakole which at the end gave him the cutting edge... Welldone to both...
CRAZY FIGHT! Bakole is on the record is on record for beating the best heavyweights in the world in sparring! Hunter just put the heavy weight division on notice! Very tough kid! He gained a fan and my respect with this spectacular performance!
Heart ,smart boxing ,inside work ,able to take a punch ,never pulling straight back , circling, clean consistent jab up and down, combination punching. coming forward sometimes be aggressive smother your opponents work, let the bigger man get off, but be smart on defense. Be able to fight for 15 rounds if needed. 💰
What an amazing fight, wow … I am African but respect to both ! The American wanted a lil more But I believe if they did a rematch Martin will win comfortably 💯
Un vieux combat de 2018 ! Bakolé est 1er en Wbc et 3e Wba. En novembre il se battra contre l'allemand Agit Y pour espérer être être programmé pour un combat ceinture IBF mise en jeu et devenir champion du monde IBF.
@BruceJackson-lx2dw No it didn’t. You Americans including black Americans are just offended that an African almost beat your guy. I want a rematch. I can promise you Bakole will win.
I became a bakole fan last fight I thought he was gonna be a beast.. He doesn't go to the body enough.. He doesn't keep his head off line he gets hit too much.. I think he should use the cross arm defense like foreman and Archie moore
No shame here. Michael Hunter is a great boxer. Had a long amateur career and nunerous Gold medals. He's 23-1-2 as a pro, that's a damn good record. Standing at 6'2 with a 6'7-1/2" wingspan makes him very dangerous. Its how he was able to stand with bakole because he's the reach of a huge man. Great fight
Ce combat c'était quand ? Bakolé était trop imprécis et brouillon comme s'il n'avait pas préparé ce combat. Perdu faute de concentration et à minimiser les coups de l'adversaire qui paraissait peser moins ...😠
Oui il a la ceinture IBO et WB, son prochain combat ce sera contre Agit Kabayel et le vainqueur pourra viser Daniel Dubois vu qu’il a bien corrige Joshua
Bakole was waiting for the big moment thinking he will knock Hunter at some point but he failed to manage that process - On the other hand , Hunter had a great game plan and was able to stick to it the hole fight and finished Bakole Surprisingly but deservedly .
For those who doesn't know this is a very old fight and the only loss Bakole had. He dislocated his shoulder and still fought to the end. Without that injury he was going to win this fight but Kudos to M Hunter the well deserved winner 🏆
@@milesbringhams6869 I give credit where credit is due and the old Bakole is not the one fighting today he got way better and stronger. I don't see Michael Hunter winning against him now and he is old
I was skimming the comments wondering how Bakole ended up losing this fight. Not that MH isn’t a good fighter but the Big Man is a a monster and to lose like that… something has to be wrong with him. I seen him blow through Jared Anderson and was awestruck
*i see alot of overnight bakole fans making excuses for this loss..hunter is just a better fighter period..and hes a CRUISERWEIGHT at that and stopped a nearly 300 pound heavyweight*
I can’t believe how so poorly trained the Bakole guy is. For his size advantage he is taking so many easy shots while missing so many. He didn’t throw a single punch to the body. Man big up to this Hunter fella.
Boring fight, Not impressed by either of them. Not much power for heavyweight, also not much speed, both easy to hit, both looking gassed out by round 5.
What a fight... Je pense que martin doit travailler son jeu au corps, il vise beaucoup la tête, pourtant fatiguer son adversaire avec des jabs au corps aide beaucoup
This fight is old. Bakole had in injury with his right hand, that’s why he could not fight like in the beginning of the fight. Respect to him to have carried on with the fight.
I’M PROUD OF HUNTER. HE KEPT IT ON THE WEIGHT BULLY THAT HE FORGOT HOW TO BULLY. HOWEVER, IN THE SECOND TO LAST ROUND OF THE HIGHLIGHT HUNTER WAS HYPNOTIZED MOMENTARILY, EATING A PRODIGIOUS AMOUNT OF JABS. SUPERB ENDING HUNTER!
@@mjimleeCry about it that's why old school boxers will always be better they don't bring injuries as an excuse bakole jus ain't that gd simple as that
I like hunter fighting bakole you ofto let him respect you and he respect hunters every time hunter hurts him he long is tongue out or smile which means you got me with that one good fight overall from both fighters.
A great fight from two heavy weights I like very much. Hunter took a scalp here. Congrats to Hunter and the team. I hope Bakole repairs and comes back soon.
That was a good chunk um , Hunter stayed with the jab and going to the body the entire fight with big right hands , Bakole is a damn monster with one punch knock out power , not very mobile or great boxing prowess but devastating king jabs and I dance power make him a tough fight . Salute the young melanated indigenous American Mr Hunter
Bakole basically a crude swinger, relying only on his size & weight. In this fight, he tired and was in danger of being dropped. Hunter showed that a good little pugilist can beat a much larger [but limited skilled] opponent,

couldnt beat a one handed bakole
@mjimlee ...but he did beat him.
Respect to Bakole. He proved he able to take as much as he is able to give blows...more so that he did it with one hand...
Big up to Hunter, too, to be able to fight a bigger guy, like Bakole and take his heavy punches. He was faster that Bakole which at the end gave him the cutting edge...

This isn’t a new fight. Happened in 2018. This is b4 Bakole allegedly starting knocking out top HW’s in sparring, and before he DEVASTATED Anderson.
This is one of my favorite fights of all time
Hunter wanted it more and came at him straight off the bat.
Bakole lost the use of his arm late. Kind of a big deal to be fair.
@@louduva9849That’s the fight game. Injuries are apart of it.
Wow, great performance from Hunter and so much heart ! Credit to both men, what a fight !
Bakole took so many power punches . Dangerous.
Heart ,smart boxing ,inside work ,able to take a punch ,never pulling straight back , circling, clean consistent jab up and down, combination punching. coming forward sometimes be aggressive smother your opponents work, let the bigger man get off, but be smart on defense.

00:06 Michael hunter got that dawg in him. The very first jab bakole threw had me thinkin he was about to be sacrificed
fr
😂😂
I don't y! Bakole threw one and Hunter threw a nice one right back and then combo'd wit a body shot!
What an amazing fight, wow … I am African but respect to both ! The American wanted a lil more
But I believe if they did a rematch Martin will win comfortably 💯
Hunter is good fighter who never giver up.
The Hunter guy is a real hunter.
Love you cham
The ref took a blow to the chin ate it like it was nothing 😂😂😂
I was looking for this comment 😂

That was a gritty fight. Hats off to Martin.Bacole is a monster.
Being a monster is no guarantee he will win .
@BruceJackson-lx2dw lt was one hell of a fight.
@@julianblack3390 Yes, it was my friend. Rather them than me-that's for sure.
💯🔥 that was the definition of "Gritty" both men put their heart into it! Great CLEAN!! Bout👏🏿
He's too stiff, can't compete against top fighters like that. He'd take severe beatings against anyone with punching power.
Is Bakole going to be remembered as...The shortest reigned, feigned Heavyweight boxing champion...???😮
Don't be fouled this is 2018 flght
Dude. Bakole was coming like the termintator. I know Hunter won this fight but it took alot out of him.
It took more out of Bakole !
@BruceJackson-lx2dw well martin just beat anderson.
@@ippothedestroyer1 My comment above was restricted to the Hunter fight.
Terminator 😂
@BruceJackson-lx2dw No it didn’t. You Americans including black Americans are just offended that an African almost beat your guy. I want a rematch. I can promise you Bakole will win.

I was thinking the same thing 52 blocks
Never seen Bakole look so vulnerable
And so passively. Without precision !

Standing at 6'2 with a 6'7-1/2" wingspan makes him very dangerous. Its how he was able to stand with bakole because he's the reach of a huge man. Great fight
Those jabs to Bakoles stomach slowed the big man down
If they were actually the same size, Hunter would have iced him early for sure , this was a cruiserweight vs a large heavyweight
Toujours derrière toi champion BAKOLE, tu fais la fierté de mon pays la RDC, t'es un brave ! C'est pas finis, courage...
Ce combat c'était quand ? Bakolé était trop imprécis et brouillon comme s'il n'avait pas préparé ce combat. Perdu faute de concentration et à minimiser les coups de l'adversaire qui paraissait peser moins ...😠
@@desiretebelec’est un combat de 2018
@emmanuelnsukadilongani7322 Donc Bakolé a toujours sa ceinture Wbo. J'attends qu'il aille frapper les plaisantins qui sont au sommet IBF wbc wba
Oui il a la ceinture IBO et WB, son prochain combat ce sera contre Agit Kabayel et le vainqueur pourra viser Daniel Dubois vu qu’il a bien corrige Joshua
like everyone in the comments said, hunter is a dawg. he is too small for the heavyweight division but was able to take out a brute force like bakole.
Usyk is also smaller in stature but he beat Fury and AJ who are miles bigger
Bakole was waiting for the big moment thinking he will knock Hunter at some point but he failed to manage that process -
On the other hand , Hunter had a great game plan and was able to stick to it the hole fight and finished Bakole Surprisingly but deservedly .
Hunter fought a superb fight against a beast and won. Nice!
Hunter should go to cruiserweight or bridger
Tu es le meilleur bakole toujours derrière vous Congo Unis 🇨🇩
Bakoke trop d’ambiance, voilà les résultats
For those who doesn't know this is a very old fight and the only loss Bakole had. He dislocated his shoulder and still fought to the end. Without that injury he was going to win this fight but Kudos to M Hunter the well deserved winner 🏆
Excuses
nah he still would have lost and was losing the fight before the injury.
@@milesbringhams6869 I give credit where credit is due and the old Bakole is not the one fighting today he got way better and stronger.
I don't see Michael Hunter winning against him now and he is old

Awesome fight! And how cool is Sanya Usyk, who was able to defeat such a cool boxer as Michael Hunter!
Is this old

*i see alot of overnight bakole fans making excuses for this loss..hunter is just a better fighter period..and hes a CRUISERWEIGHT at that and stopped a nearly 300 pound heavyweight*
Pertandigan ini kapan terjadinya???
Good figh Bakole, keep going you are a great fighter
Bakole my brother, keep up training you need to fight against this boxer again, congrat guys
Fights like his dad, agressive, fast, unpredictable & giant killer !
Great fight for both of these African brothers. Just to remind you, us diaspora are Africans for the ignorant comments..
This my first hunter fight he got something I would love to see him after 6-7 more fights
Hunter was such a good boxer but what happened to him?
Was this a recent fight?
today bakole's punch are more precise, we want a rematch !

Bravo Martin c'est la vieillesse allons nous reposer et bouffer nos millions tranquillement. Big respect à toi Martin mon homonyme.
Michael Hunter impressed tf out of me in this fight!!!
It's was a loyal Victory
More respects to Michael Hunter, he is a Real Deal and good fighter.🥊
This match takes my mind way back.. This is the fight you could see if George foreman and Evander holy fields are in the ring..
Hunter is Good...got a chin too and volume..
Martin fought good, but he wasnt pushing forward...damn what a fight
Well done hunter what a fight serious performance be proud you took down a giant
Great fight
What a fight...
Je pense que martin doit travailler son jeu au corps, il vise beaucoup la tête, pourtant fatiguer son adversaire avec des jabs au corps aide beaucoup
Hunter is a very good boxer but needs the big fights.

Hunter sangar... sangat berbahaya....
Respect to Hunter, Dude's got heart.
Bakole merci quand même malgré ton adversaire est fort mais tu as fais quelque chose
Idk what happened to Michael hunter or why he is not promoted that well but he is a top heavyweight
The referee earned his money towards the end 👏
I’M PROUD OF HUNTER. HE KEPT IT ON THE WEIGHT BULLY THAT HE FORGOT HOW TO BULLY. HOWEVER, IN THE SECOND TO LAST ROUND OF THE HIGHLIGHT HUNTER WAS HYPNOTIZED MOMENTARILY, EATING A PRODIGIOUS AMOUNT OF JABS.
SUPERB ENDING HUNTER!
There was no 11th round
@ THE SECOND TO LAST ROUND ACCORDING TO THE HIGHLIGHT.
A weight bully at super heavyweight 😂
Where is hunter now? he should be up in the top 10 at least
naah Bakole dislocated his shoulder in that fight otherwise
hunter would have been knocked
out

It's hard when a heavyweight his size to have success vs the top 5 Zhang Parker fury usyk dubios is hard to beat
this fight took place 5 years ago n bakole's right hand was injured in round 8
I like hunter fighting bakole you ofto let him respect you and he respect hunters every time hunter hurts him he long is tongue out or smile which means you got me with that one good fight overall from both fighters.
This is one for the reels😮😮😮
A great fight from two heavy weights I like very much. Hunter took a scalp here. Congrats to Hunter and the team. I hope Bakole repairs and comes back soon.
Michael Hunter gotta Text Book Jab to the body , long arms, just the heart of a lion. Good fighter.
Great Fight of year contender
How old is this fight ?
2018
LMAO!! Michael "the Bounty" Hunter!!! Perfect!
Good win hunter 🥊💯💪🏾
At one point Bakole was just toying with hunter… he didn’t take him serious!
When you a cocky fighter, you Lose.
Lol didn't touch gloves and got pieced up
That was a good chunk um , Hunter stayed with the jab and going to the body the entire fight with big right hands , Bakole is a damn monster with one punch knock out power , not very mobile or great boxing prowess but devastating king jabs and I dance power make him a tough fight . Salute the young melanated indigenous American Mr Hunter
What a performance !!!😮😮😮
Bakole have that bad habit of bringing his hands down. He ran out of steam in the end. He just needs better handlers
Super❤
مايكل انتصر على مارتين فارق السرعه في توقيت مناسب لاسيما مارتين ثقيل ونوعا" ما بطيء الحركه والأسرع دائما" ينتصر .
Bakole basically a crude swinger, relying only on his size & weight. In this fight, he tired and was in danger of being dropped. Hunter showed that a good little pugilist can beat a much larger [but limited skilled] opponent,
Hunter can really make a good fight
C'est un ancien combat de 2018
Mmmh hunter is the slim and savage fighter 🙌
Bakoles got absolutely no head movement.
Good fight
Bakole beaten by Hunter, unbelievable, Bakole fought like amateur.
THAT WAS IN 2018
Hunter is a fighter heart of man
Great fight indeed
Hunter has heart, bakole it a tank but takes unnecessary punches!
if they remake it bokole will wipe his ass
Mr put it all on the line goddamn!!!
Bakole didnt want to touch gloves, so he got no love.
Grueling fight. Hunter was hungrier for sure.
Let the the people speak , it disguised what happens
Aguantó como un varón Hunter
Vraiment
Hunter is a good boxer
Well, at least we got to watch real boxing, not those running and hugging of Anthony joshua and Deontay Wilder
He beat Bakole and the Ref😂😂😂😂
Incredible boxing skills well fought & deserved win
Hunter is crafty
