    The video of this fight in June 2016, used to be on youtube, but as soon as Okolie signed with Hearn it got removed :lol:
    But I've just found it on good old Daily Motion :)

    Skip to 1 hour 42 minutes to see Okolie's spaghetti legs! :lol:

    Better watch it quick, and download it if you wanna see it again before Hearn has it removed on there too lol

    Lebedev may be about 40 now but I still fully expect him to put Okolie on ***** street pretty quickly.

    It happens...he took a big shot early on and never recovered. It doesn’t mean anything in 2019.

    Thanks for sharing though.

    The commentary is unreal, how can you praise Okolie at any point during that round?

    It was less than 3 years go, not that long ago, and bad chins don't change. Savon dropped him in the Olympics too.

    And it matters when you've got David Haye making ridiculously stupid deluded comments like this '' he can take a shot, as good as Usyk is I think Okolie has the physical attributes to go further than him''' :lol::qmeparto:

    you're saying ' it happens' but that never happened to Usyk in over 350 amateur fights. The people overrating Okolie need to see videos like this :)

    Fair enough mate. I’m not knocking you for posting it, it’s great that you have. I just think Okolie is a better boxer than he was then. If you get caught clean at 200ib + then there’s a good chance you’re going to be on bambi legs.

    I still think Okolie is a vicious KO waiting to happen, I can't get over how spindly he is too, he certainly doesn't look like a Cruiser.

    I don’t know anyone who thinks Okolie is great. I think it’s generally accepted that he isn’t the best boxer and doesn’t have the best chin.

    But I maintain his big stupid gangly style and his power can prove to be a spoiler against anyone.

    Like scissors said
    I've never seen anyone praising him, at least on here
    But he ain't easy to fight
    If he was he would have been found out a while back

    Haye just probably wants to sign him up

    Is there any fight footage of him where he doesn't try to clinch his opponent every 5 seconds?
