    Is it too much to hope he hugs himself right into a big left hand that makes him take a canvas nap? Cause I'm hoping like hell that's what happens. I'd rather listen to commentators kissing Turki's ass and whining about Dubois' lowblow than have to sit through twelve rounds of one of his fights.

    Let's hope that's not the nights trend, and doesn't happen in the mains, squire.


    AND the co mains could be an absolute pantomime with Octokolie and a ref with that attitude...

    Okolie going to stiff-arm Lerena and catch him with a sneaky shot or hold his head in position for a big right hand

    It'd be great if a boxer on a Riyadh season card walked out with Kashoggi's face tattooed on their back. :sisi1

    There'd be sweet **** all they could do about it.

    I could see that, I reckon Okolie is genuine in trying to change his style and the weight will help him. He is Okolie though, and Lerena can bang, so if he gets rocked get ready to see Okolie the Octopus.

    Think it's less that than it is Lapin being a bit of a nepo baby potentially. It's a shame we get poor judging like this when this could all have been easily avoided with proper refereeing. Had Edmondson been properly warned or deducted it could have forced the fight to play out entirely differently.

    Bit of a wasted experience for Lapin. Tough to say what potential he has.
