    Who wins this fight and how?

    I got Tabiti. His ring IQ is too high for Okolie. Okolie is an athletic beast but his ring IQ and skillset are very low.

    Tabiti feasts on the pan seared Okolipus with Black Beans and Pear Sauce for dinner.:hambre:

    The 8-figure hold is hard to get out of. I think Tabiti is slippery enough to wiggle his way outta there though.

    Okolie can't fight. Tabiti beats him without a doubt if the rules are actually enforced. Tabiti might get screwed over in the UK though.

    I'm trying to think of a stylistically worse fighter than Okolie. I don't mean just in 2018, I mean ever. This might be worth a thread...

    Richard Abril vs Rios and Wlad/Povetkin are up there. I'm sure dino could bring up a bunch of shitty Wlad fights but apparently he's banned right now cause I can't tag him lol.

    But at least SOME boxing broke out in these bouts. We're still waiting for Okolie's pro boxing debut....

    I've only watched one Okolie fight lol and that was his previous fight. Are all of his fights the same? I know his last bout against Chambers was boring but hasn't he blown some bums out?

    He did box more in his early fights when they were total mismatches but as the level of opponent has gone up so has the level of grappling, lol. I think he is protecting an elite level glass jaw...

    Maybe, I think it has more to do with his ring IQ being very low. I remember he tweeted after the fight acting surprised after re-watching it on how boring it was. I genuinely believe that he was surprised too lol.

    Okolipus wins the event by strangulation.

    Most likely is disqualified though in middle rounds.

    But wins the event
