Let's be honest here Lawrence Okolie is garbage

Okolie looked hopeless. Utterly pitiful and hopeless.

There is no future for him past blowing a bunch of bums away, and then being fed to an upcoming prospect who will knock him out in spectacular fashion.

 

Starting to think that even Stephen Simmons could do him. Forget about European level, who in Britain and Ireland could take care of this burger-flipper from McDonalds?

Mike Perez
Isaac Chamberlain
Tommy McCarthy (50/50)
Stephen Simmons (50/50)
Major Arfan Iqbal
Matty Askin (50/50)
Luke Watkins (underdog chance)
Wadi Camacho (underdog chance)

I want to see him in with Iqbal. Iqbal will not waste his punches and will punish this imposter all the way back to McDonalds.

 

Even Harjeet Singh might spark him

By the looks of it, Harjeet Singh could come straight off of a long 18-hour shift at his uncle's Ilford corner shop, grab an Uber straight to York Hall, borrow his pal's gloves and gum guard and blast Okolie all the way back to the McDonald's job vacancy queue.

 

He certainly has a glass jaw and I cant wait until it's exposed

Anyone who had the luxury of watching him fight Savon in amateurs (before it gor deleted off all of youtube) will probably agree!

 

Anthony Yarde destroys him too, even though he's a 175lb fighter.

 

I watched him box as an amateur live at least a couple of times, if I'm honest he didn't stand out, I never looked at him and thought "he'd make a great professional".

That said I'm hardly a talent spotter LOL but you understand what I mean.

His main problem is he relies far too much on his supposed power and that's working for him at the moment at the lowest level, when he starts stepping up he will either have to start relying on whatever technique he has or he will get brutally found out/exposed.

But as said above he has nectlected and is neglecting the fundamentals, his jab is almost non existent, he looks slow, clumsy, wild, his footwork is bang average at best and these are extremely bad habits to get in to.

 

terrible to watch and very full of himself too

 

Okolie seems to have power and that's about it. For someone of his height and range his jab is non-existent and seems to find himself fighting far too much on the inside, where he isn't as good. He is far too wild and makes very basic errors, his defence is poor as well, getting tagged by poor opponents early on, and I think he has a glass chin, that's waiting to get exposed. If he tightened up his defence and improved his jab considerably then he could be an alright fighter but as others have said at the moment he is a knockout waiting to happen.

 

Yep, the main reason plenty (including myself) can't wait to see him KO'd in spectacular fashion. He's a useless lump.

 

Definetly feel he's the weakest of Matchrooms new batch of Team GB fighters, be surprised if the rest dont all get to at least Euro level, though I think there's a few world champions in the making in this batch.

Isaac must be licking his lips will get paid well to show up Lawrence.

 

Haha your right all the previous footage of Okolie getting KOd by Savon has been taken off youtube and elsewhere

 

I don't think he is great by any means but boxing fans are far too reactionary after 1 bad performance.
