Lawrence Okolie vs. Michał Cieślak & Karim Guerfi vs. Jordan Gill + Fowler vs. Maciec RBR.

His brother Kal was decent

 

Nah. Kal Yafai was super poor. Got a few home cooked decisions in the UK and got absolutely dominated the first time he left the country albeit against word class Chocolatito.

 

Seems like an unnecessary dangerous proposition

 

Dont you think super poor is a bit harsh. When i think of that i think of Dorian Darch.

 

Yafai sucks. Just a weight bully in this one. Wake me up when Octopolie is in the ring lol...

 

Maybe "super poor" is exaggerated but he was European level at best.

 

Eddie hearn still cherrypicking fighters from mexico, he hasn't learnt his lesson yet.

 

Weight bully + dirty as **** using elbows and pushing his opponent all the time.

What a joke.

Yafai just lunging in pushing the Mexican and throwing left hands.

I didn't see a lot of jabs or proper range control.

This guy is going nowhere.

 

Wasn't super poor. Decent but not world beating.

 

Yafai is a bit of a dick huh

 

Considering the hype i think he was poor. Some people really thought he would beat Chocolatito lmfao. He was even the betting favorite in that fight. I mean i took that and bet the **** out of Chocolatito but still...some people really thought he'd win.

 

Canelo would have to force Okolie to make 190 to be in with a shot of winning. If Okolie is somehow allowed to weigh in at the 200lb limit and then fully rehydrate, Canelo would be stifled by the awkward effectiveness of King Octopus.

 

I don't see anything special in this Yafai dude. He has no real structure. Just standing in front of that small dude and outmuscling him. While doing that he's getting hit a lot. A bigger guy with a better punch would probably hurt him.

 

Bautista landing more as this fight goes on...

 

It's his pro debut. Fighting a tough Mexican in a 10 rounder. He's doing OK.
