    The vacant WBO cruiserweight title will be at stake. Głowacki and Okolie are the WBO's number one and two ranked contenders.

    I meant to click Głowacki stoppage, but either way, the Pole wins.

    Glowacki stops the Okolipus.
    I predict a take Glowacki down with me KD to happen in that fight.

    I think Okolie gets the usual dodgy matchroom decision where he gets away with everything. Would love to be wrong though as I can't stand watching Okolie fight.

    I don't know. I think the delay benefits Okolie a lot more, and that Okolie takes this on a close UD decision.

    I actually don't rate Okolie and can see him getting stopped by Glowacki looks like he is past it.

    A win-win for me anyway because back in 2017 I predicted Okolie to be the first of the 2016 Olympians to win a World Title.

    Glowacki has already been the recipient of a violent assault in the ring, well... he better get in the mood for an assault of a different nature.:sisi1
    The Okolipus wants someone to play grab ass and stinkfinger with. Tag Krzysztof, you're it.

    I'd love to see nothing more than Glowacki knock this clown out cold, there's few fighters in the sport I detest more. But stylistically, Glowacki was made to order for Okolie, he'll lunge in with something wild, out of the southpaw stance and walk right into a vicious straight right, which will disconnect him from his senses, Okolie will follow up, and the ref will leap in and stop it.

    Might happen, however had been posted that he had covid and this delay doesn't looks is good for Glowacki at all. Chances still remains ofc.

    Like yeh, still Glowacki might be very dangerous. The same Huck really almost had defeated him, then 1 single mistake and Glowacki capitalised everything. Huck get stopped while already almost had won all fight vs Glowacki.

    Depends on where it is. Looks like its going to be in the UK, under matchroom promotions.

    So Okolipus has the referee there to look the other way as he illegally holds everytime the fight gets onto the inside.

    It is going to be tough. If I was Glowacki I would be studying Evander Holyfield videos, and learning the tricks of fighting on the inside.

    It is going to take the skilled used of the head and elbows/forearms to put Okolipus off holding. Once you manage that you can break him down and stop him.

    I would edge towards Okolipus via UD just because of the issues with the referee and judges. I also dont recall Glowacki being ultra skilled at the dirty side of inside fighting, as he will need to be to beat Okolipus away from home.

    I really hope Okolie gets tagged and jelly legged at some point. If glowaki can drop him even better!

    nobody wants to see a hugfest, I just hope glowaki has done his homework

    ...a Polish one. :sisi1

    (literal translation of "Główka"... functioning about the same and with the same versatility as its equivalent in English, as you can have a główka of lettuce or sit at the główka of a dinner table..)

    I'm going to go against the grain and pick the Octopus via KO. Glowacki is the better fighter but he's giving away 7.5'' in reach, 5'' in height, and I don't think he rehydrates much after the weigh in at all (he weighed 202lbs against Cunningham) whereas Okolie is huge for the division. And on top of that he turns 35 in June and has only fought once in two and a half years, the three rounds against Briedis and Okolie's freakish dimensions and hideous octopus style make him an extremely awkward and difficult customer to deal with and he can punch too.

    Not against the grain in fact, not only is that @CST80's but the majority's pick, of poll respondents so far.

    I hope you're all dead ass wrong. :sisi1
