Looks like this user placed a bet on Joseph Parker winning the bout and won. He must probably be counting all that sweet money right now.

"MARTIN WOBBLES GOES DOWN," said a user.

Well, Martin Bakole better hope this nickname given by the user doesn’t catch on, otherwise the user might be in for some big trouble. Imagine walking down the street and having people call you Martin Wobbles all the time!

"Legs were on ice skates," another quipped.

Hmm, if you cover the bottom half of Martin Bakole at the exact moment his legs gave out, doesn't it look like he’s on ice skates about to take a tumble? Or at least this user seems to think so!

Worthy of an Academy Award (via @36mins / X)

This user seems convinced that Martin Bakole might have acted like he lost balance and got knocked out, maybe because he just didn’t want to fight Joseph Parker anymore! If that’s the case, he might be in for a last-minute Oscar nomination next week!

The Joseph Parker-Martin Bakole fight was certainly an entertaining one, with sports commentators and fans still buzzing about it. And whoever steps into the ring with Parker next better remember to protect their head!
