    Is Okolie a safe bet? @CST80

    surely it’s another jab jab grab night, they are old sparring partners as well.

    would’ve preferred to see these two face goulamarian or opatia instead

    I wouldn't say that, CBS was able to stand up to the punches of Riakporhe and there's evidence he hits harder than Okolie. As far as inside work, CBS is far more proficient than anyone else Okolie has fought to date. So if he tries to play grab ass and stink finger with Chris, he may end up regretting it. I can see a scenario when Okolie attempts to tie him up, CBS pushed him to the ropes, loops in a few heavy left and right hooks to the chin in close, and drops him, possibly even stops him, there's a reason why Okolie is so panicky when it comes to being hit clean. Also CBS is 6'3, he's a big dude. So while I wouldn't bet the house on an upset, it alo wouldn't shock me in the least either.

    Leaning towards The Pig by stoppage. Sure, they're both punching bags, and both can crack. But Joe's straight right is ghoulish, and Egginton has been rocked several times by far lesser punchers. Not sure if he stand up to too many of them.

    Don’t know much about Pigford, but the odds are decent for him to beat Eggington. Feel like Eggington has been in so many wars dude is kinda shot though young.
