Yoka vs. Milas

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Yoka vs. Milas
Tony Yoka, DEC
I would be very curious to know if Yoka is famous, or even known, out of France ? It seems he's not even that big in his country anymore, after that suspention... But it's a shame, he's probably one of the best boxer of his generation, and has the potential to be a star if managed correctly.

He is known by only the hardcore boxing fans as a prospect. 
Unfortunately for Yoka the pandemic was very bad timing as he had just signed a promotional contract with Top Rank and was plans to feature on US cards also broadcast on ESPN. That exposure would have helped.
There's still time for Yoka though. All he needs is to keep winning, move himself into Title contention and as the world opens up Top Rank will put the original plan into action.
I also rate Yoka very high. The Heavyweight group from the 2016 Olympics could all end up facing each other over the next couple of years in World Championship fights. JYoka, Joe Joyce, Filip Hrgovic, Bakhodur Jalolov, Ivan Dychko are all undefeated and ready to face the established top 10.
Yoka vs Joyce is a great fight and has a good backstory considering they faced each other in the Olympic final and many people feel Joyce was robbed. 
He just needs the fights and being with Top Rank he'll get hi chance soon 

Kinda wierd that I just wrote that message the other day then I see this on BadLeftHook, an article featuring Bob Arum talking about potential Yoka vs Joyce fight in the UK!!!

wow the boxing gods were listening to you!

Cissokho vs. Iliev
I feel disposed to Souleymane Cissokho at -1200. He has a fancy dim mak. Cissokho shall drop the counteragent. Obey my dog!

Mikhalkin vs. Bauderlique
I prefer Mathieu Bauderlique at -175. He has a xenophobic jab. Bauderlique isn't about to caress the TV audience.

Yoka vs. Milas
I predict Tony Yoka at -2000. He has a quixotic guillotine. Yoka will likely avert the dissentient.

There are levels to the fight game

Mikey, all the Boxing Sites are stating that Mathieu Bauderlique defeated Igor Mikhalkin via Stoppage at the end of the Seventh Round, between Rounds 7 and 8...I haven't seen the footage and I really hope that the bell rang for Round 8 as I had bets on a Bauderlique Stoppage victory over Mikhalkin between Rounds 8 - 11...Can you confirm the result either way?? The Boxrec Website is Stating that the Bout was recorded as a 7th Round Stoppage victory for Bauderlique... 🤔💯🥊👊🤑🧐🤞👍

If any other member knows the exact result, please feel free to communicate... Thanks 🤔💯

Yeah, seems tho it is listed as 7th Rd retirement. I thought they went to start the round. Forgive me but I have DAZN,  Channel 5, BT Sport and this allon at once!! 

I have Cissokho to Win by Stoppage KO/TKO. at 3/1 over the Bulgarian Iliev, with a £20.00 placed, so hopefully everything monetary wise will balance out... 🤔💯🥊👊🤑🧐🤞👍

Going to Watch Hrgovic destroy an Unbeaten 22 - 0 Heavyweight on Dazn just to see how mismatches are made and to watch complete utter violence! Should be a fun destruction job on Dazn... 🤔💯🥊👊🤑🧐🤞👍

I also have Yoka to Win by KO/TKO over the Croatian Peter Milas this evening 🤞🤞🥊👊💯🤔🤑🧐👍

Nice one with the Cissokho KO. I figured Iliev would be the standard Russian tough bastard and go the distance!!! Cissokho spanked him!!
