    Good fight - if Okolie isn't for real this is when he gets found out.

    This is a lot better as hyping someone and then putting him against pushovers with 15% KO ratios

    Askin has been smashing people to bits on the domestic scene.

    if Hearn carries on with this, he's gonna be in danger of putting a really good card on. i like the fights so far and really intrigued by this one. Askin has been cutting a swathe through the better domestic fighters of late, we'll find a hell of a lot out about Okolie during this fight

    Quality match up, Askin has harvested the zeroes of 3 of his last 4 opponents, and 3 of his last 4 opponents were, like Okolie, decent amateurs.

    He's not overly popular, but Okolie deserves props as he seems willing to take risky fights.

    Askin will win, I’ve picked kookier twice but Matty has the edge for me. Good fight, credit to both men especially Okolie and hats off to Hearn too.

    Matty exposes yet another hypejob, and violently. His straight right will land and with frequently, it wouldn't shock to see this end in the first 3 rounds. Okolie is garbage and will get found out, to be on the safe side they should have put Okolie in with McCarthy, Kennedy or Simmons first, but since I don't like Okolie at all, I'm thriled this is happening.

    Think mccarthy would beat okolie, he has some skills. simmons is just too short and glass jawed, dno about kennedy.

    I thnk you're right, but I do think Simmons would put up more of a fight against him than he did against Askin. Kennedy would probably lose mid rounds.
