    Its possible. But its easier said then done. He is 6'6. How many light heavies can leap that high without potentially running into a big punch themselves?

    Nobody said they're in the same camp as far as skill. Lapin is obviously leaps and bounds superior to Sirenko p4p.

    They're in the same camp as far as being dull crowd-killers for a big event.

    Sirenko's long period of inactivity (including all of 2022 and 2023) and meaningless opposition since he came back has ruined him.

    He looked a lot faster and sharper against Rudenko several years ago than he did tonight.

    Come to think of it, Okolie vs Lerena is a interesting match up. You have the guy with one of the biggest right hands in the game vs a guy who has one of the better left hands. Orthodox vs southpaw, always an interesting match up.

    The way he crouches down sometimes, they might not need to leap into anything.

    Just had a thought - what if Edmonson scores a brutal kayo upset and Lapin gets stretchered out... could that emotionally rattle Usyk enough to give Dubois a chance?

    stadium starting to fill out a bit more. Hopefully by the time Okolie Lerena happens, we get a full crowd.

    +1100 bookies odds indicates that's probably not about what we're about to see. :tiburon:

    Don't rate Lapin but Edminson's spoiler style disgusts me. Dacres spoiling and stiff-arming was hard to watch and now we get Edminson followed by Okolie immediately after who is a disgusting spoiler and has a stiff-arming addiction. Dear oh dear

    Edmondson back stage was practicing some southpaw combination that finished with an uppercut. And it looked like it was modified to land against a tall opponent. A rather wide punch, instead of a compact and quick one.

    Yeah it would have been bad. I can’t support a feather fisted HW, dude hit Sirenko with the kitchen sink and couldn’t even wobble him once.

    I also have a soft spot for Sirenko. Met him and Dervyanchenko at a sauna years ago and they were nice enough chat with me and shoot the **** about boxing.

    If another Brit pulls off an upset imma be mad @Serge , hopefully Lapin gives this guy a hiding.
