Briedis finally calls out Okolie

I think MB is old and needs retire or move up to HW and have some fights with proper matchmaking in HW.

Gas tank I think still is very good and while for me looked that in WBSS2 Briedis did had threw few punches with full power ( yeah, looks that due to his hands problems ), vs Mann he threw more 90% + power punches. Maybe hands are in a bit better shape.
Dunno.

The problem is that he really is rusty: after Glowacki fight he didn't had fought ~15 months until had fight vs Dorticos, then was sept 2020 th,
now is October, 2021 th and he had this Mann fight.
It is bad for old boxer, such ring rust.

 

Honestly hard to say. Briedis is getting up there, and Okolie impressed against Glowacki, even if it was post-Covid Glowacki.

My gut says Briedis still has something in the tank, but it is tough to say.

 

Eh why write this wall to me ? I just say that Briedis already is not in his prime, to a guy that was already complaining about complaining.
This is obvious.
And i still going to favor Briedis to be fair, except as you say they drag the fight in late 2022 or 2023.

 

It could be the right timing from Okolie but I think that Briedis is one of the most underrated fighters in the world he is highly skilled and gave Usyk his toughest fight to date. I love watching Briedis fight and I hope that he knocks Okolie out. This should be a decent pay day for Briedis so I expect the fight to get made.

 

I'd favor Briedis to unwind Okolie and stop him him the 10th but i wouldn't write Okolie off. The side difference will be massive, and Okolie knows how to milk it. It would also be interesting to see Briedis react to Okolie's power

 

Okolie is garbage. Just another massive weight bully.

Breidis has been at the top for years, he's gonna destroy this nobody.

 

Aka "The Matchroom School Of Scoring"

 

Briedis will be 37 next time he fights, the octopus would smother and batter him, his length and awkwardness would be too much. Briedis should invite beterbeast up for a second division title that fight would be amazing.
