    Dorticos is over the hill because he was not able to beat old Briedis? Nope, he even is 1 year 2 months younger than Briedis and I think he is now lesser " old " than Briedis.
    Prime Usyk barely won younger Briedis version and prime Gassiev had worked very hard 11 rounds plus 2min 52 sec in 12 th round to finish Dorticos.

    Dorticos btw was a bit underdog before fight vs Kudra and he won this vis stoppage in 2 nd round. He threw also hooks vs Kudra.
    Then Tabiti, who is pretty skilled and not bad boxer, Dorticos had beat him and stopped him.

    I don't know shape they now are but Dorticos does have 80 in reach on paper and this might make Octopuse far more problems than maybe even Makabu.

    He announced move up to HW after WBSS1 final. Then he had been injured a bit later and had some inactivity period, prob also long rehab.
    Now looks he is returning in fighting.
    For Gassiev pros is that he is young, he is considerably younger than Dortiocs, not alone Briedis who is older than Dorticos.
    He's only 27 now.

    Is boxer 25 or 27 or 30 doesn't looks that impacts much.
    After some 33, def after 35 these CW boxers might get old. At HW usually they are " old " a bit later.
    like HW Pov and Wlad approx 37, Lewis 38 etc alike.

    And why exactly is Dorticos washed?:dunno Losing to the BEST Cruiserweight on the planet ultimately means nothing other than you're the second best Cruiserweight on the planet..

    Okolie knocks out any version of Dorticos. There are levels.

    Okolie will beat anybody in the division, currently, including Briedis.

    The Sauce is destined for greatness. He's such a special talent.

    In weight bullying?

    Let's place Okolie at least vs Kudra or Makabu to see how he will perform.
    Nice might to see him also vs Lerena. this is enough young and it isn't corpse from ring rusty post covid Glowacki ghost.

    Funny how people on this forum keep using covid as an excuse when 99% of all other athletes are asymptomatic and are getting on with things as normal after self-isolating. I guess it's a convenient excuse, even though it's not at all convincing.

    Okolie is a stunning talent. If his name was Igor Popovic he would be lauded as a killer on these boards.

    No one needs to discuss in ENG forums about " exuses ".
    Your Okolie had beated up very short notice replacement kid and Glowacki corpse.
    Exactly previously finished in 3 rounds by the same Briedis.
    For Okolie this took more time vs older Glowacki version.

    What excuses you will post here when for example the same Makabu or Dorticos will KTFO Okolie or he will get beated up at HW division?

    I won't post any excuses. I'm not part of his management or promotional team. I have nothing to do with Okolie. I just say it as I see it. He's a tremendous talent. Makabu got knocked out by Tony Bellew and you think he will beat Okolie? haha.

    Dorticos is good, but he's not special like Okolie.

    When Okolie beats Briedis, Dorticos or Makabu it will be "X had covid", "Y is old", "Z was injured going in" etc. A what's what of excuses.

    Nothing special he did not had proved yet but is tauted like he is some Haye etc alike boxer.

    You most likely even did not had followed my post.
    I had posted that Briedis is old and had gave 50/50 for their fight vs Dorticos and cos I didn't knew in what shape he is.
    Also I didn't had placed real life bettings on fight Briedis vs Glowacki for the same reason.

    You normally are typical nooby poster who is attempting to manipulate to portray your opponent's in forums discussions posts etc in manner comfortable for your manipulation tactics.

    U think u wanna play this game with me? Really?

    Yes, of course you're making excuses for boxers in advance. It's called hedging your bets.

    Ohh, thank you for mentioning Bellew.
    He had been beated up by Usyk in his own backyard and didn't fought vs prime Briedis most likely because they were bad boxers.:D

    Also funny how you compare Bellew's experience and skills level vs Okolie.
    Maybe start to compare him vs Lewis too, will be cool.

    For me might be damn cool to read up how you compare prime Cunningham vs Okolie too.o_O

    Damn, you really most likely never had real bets on boxers.
    Excuses doesn't help there, excuses are interesting only for forums posts.

    The fact that you are obliviously and inadvertently filing Bellew and Lewis into the same league is hilarious.

    I know that you are new to boxing, but come on!

    Normally will not attempt discuss here about octopuse anymore.
    Just remember how much excuses here appeared when Whyte had been stopped by small old Povetkin and how quickly his fans had forget this when he finished now enough old 41 years 6 months old Povetkin.
