Okolie Vs Breidis?

If you mean concussions then no, he isn't beaten up.

Gas tank no but looks that he punched at best maybe with 90% in WBSS2.
Guy had ****ed up hands before WBSS2 and looks that is a bit too careful. vs Glowacki this wasn't even 85% Briedis and vs Dorticos in some cases maybe approx 90%.
If he will recover further, then he might be watchable.
Gas tank he looks that does have even for 15 rounds but boxer should beat.

They had cool cards, one of the best in boxing: Dorticos vs Tabiti for IBF World title and this was WBSS semi final and Briedis vs Glowacki in WBSS semi final and WBO World Title, surprisingly WBC had removed their title form this fight ( cool stuff: WBC champ Makabu fought Durodola already stopped by Briedis in his last fight , cool or " cool " boxing org ) and fight with Bolotņiks on card. All three fights had ended with stoppages. One undercard fight with 2 and 1 knockdowns in this fight. Really cool card.

 

Appeared that he was a lot better than befor covid and long inactivity period Glowacki.
Eddie does knows that not likely Briedis will remain in CW long time.
Not likely he will fight vs Okolie under eddie clauses for 150 or 250 k GBP.
He had considerably more pure savings than this before he fought vs Perez.
Not alone to talk about WBSS2 era for him.

 

Looks he once had attempted and get not bad results and after this had been avoided, moved back to CW.

Really I think his best versions were with 213-214 lbs boxer or amateur KBer.
His HW versions looked with more well " lubricated " legs, moved more smoothly and like this.
Now ofc he is old and looks post injuries period. Still if not to maintain weight class during training cycles and every day he maybe might look not bad in some fights.
If to fight likes him and he had stick with fighting. Otherwise he might pick another career.

 

I think Bellew might be able to beat Okolie.

 

Status quo status quo!!

 

Ok I will be the first to admit, I have only watched a limited amount of Bredies, but I always feel like I'm missing something....he's talked about on this forum like he is the second coming of Dwight Braxton or something but I just don't see it.
Honestly I feel like a motivated BJ Fores would give him a solid run for his money, and even a Ola Ofelobi type fighter would brutally lay him to rest ...

 

Okolie's chin is on a plate for whoever is skillful enough to set it up. Could pull a Judah dance

 

You are typical poor western guy in forums who hates all european fighters, even U.K boxers and because you are poor lad, especially you hate Eastern European boxers.
Cos you are thinking that something like this : they are piece of **** and poor.
EE does have higher prices for debut fights for nonames than Nevada.
U dream that poor ppl dream in EE is to be pro boxer.

Damn, you really do not know anything about european boxing, especially eastern euro.
If you did not had took boxe above your daily needs, you never and ever had started to fight as pro boxer in eastern europe.
Unless you are with really notable amateur credentials.


Like you, poor guy in forums living with deep hate vs all EE fighters cos your personal lack of career, true friends, education and self respect, are sitting in forums for long long years with your POOR kid's HATE.

 

Cuninngham and Bellew in their prime I think had gave him a lot of problems, also even prime Glowacki when he was 29-30.
Prime Huck too, he was skilled in clinch fighting more than Glowacki ever was and was really tough game.

Now: Dorticos, Briedis might gave him problems. Makabu too but to book Makabu looks will be cheaper than Briedis and doesn't looks that eddie should wait too long.
Briedis will demand considerably more money than ring rusty after covid and long inactivity + beltless Glowacki with 2 his last title fights lost.
The same applies to his promoters and handlers.

Most likely Briedis might be evalued like this: 1. he can't enforce fight vs Okolie cos he isn't ranked #1 after champ by WBO. Doesn't looks that he will rush to pay sanctioning fees to WBO and demand fight vs Okolie.
2. He might appeared retired till autumn or in autumn and then he will vacate IBF belt of course.
3. He might move to HW and then he will vacate IBF belt.

Briedis looks will be also more expensive than to book Makabu cos Makabu last fight was vs Durodola.

It isn't Glowacki, long time inactive, after lost fight and without any belt to put on table.
Glowacki was legit champ when he was younger and was 2-0 in title fights before fight vs Usyk.
Then he lost vs prime Usyk and now appeared vs old Briedis.

 

What? Did you see the fights with Askin and Chamberlain? That is not a generational talent. That's a protected, gangly mess. Even Saturday night, which was obviously and indisputably his apex, he didn't look half as talented as Usyk did vs Głowacki five years ago.

I don't know why you'd hold Briedis well below Usyk, given how close their fight was. Briedis showed he was absolutely on that level, and he's done it multiple times since.

There's no way Okolie hits harder than Povetkin or Bakole. Hunter's chin is incredible, Okolie's power isn't.

 

I do not know.
Povetkin in his prime had been proven how hard he does beat.
Perez, who had put 18-0-0 undefeated HW prospect in wheelchair and need in assistance till end of life lasted vs Povetkin 91 second.
Takam, Charr etc fights.
Also he fought prime Huck who was very good KBer before turned into pros.
Yeah, later he get on decline after fights vs prime Glowacki, moderate beatup by Briedis and clinch fight vs the same Briedis in his own promotion's event, damn. Then Usyk, Huck really was impactful cos he get title fight vs Usyk despite he had lost 2 world title fights in row.

He even didn't had repeated dynamics and speed in fight like old and after damages before WBSS2 Briedis.
Post covid and ring rusty Glowacki lasted longer vs Okolie.
Bearing in mind that he unusually weighted in also <196 lbs, despite usually he is >197 lbs till some 199 lbs.

 

You're citing bouts that occurred 2 and a half and over 3 years ago, as if a boxer is not able to develop as they progress. Isn't that what a good boxer does, particularly a boxer who started boxing as a 20 year old? That's literally a third of his entire amateur and professional boxing career ago...and a year after he turned pro....ffs.

I have Usyk well above Briedis because boxing is more than only 2 men facing each other. "Styles make fights" - I would've thought that you'd have heard that one, but people seem to only use it when it helps them to progress a particular agenda. In other words, I think Usyk will prove, given the chance, that he's much more versatile and will be able to defeat all types of opponents, including the biggest of heavyweights. Briedis, in my opinion, won't and he is already 36 years old. By the time he decides to move up to heavyweight, if he indeed does, he will be 37. That doesn't inspire confidence because he would have moved up long ago if he felt he was capable. For what it's worth, I think he's still in excellent condition and will have another couple of years at his peak level.

Okolie absolutely does hit hard. Okolie would rout Hunter. Okolie is physically strong, incredibly confident, mobile, can win bouts in different ways, has good stamina, an accurate (very underrated, needless to say) jab, and power in both hands.

You always sound very assured in your posts and seem like the type of person who will never admit when he's wrong, so I don't expect you to withdraw what I believe to be a load of biased nonsense if Okolie does indeed go on to beat Briedis and do well at heavyweight.

It will be "Briedis is old now" and the usual crap.

 

Breidis wins the fight but he nor nobody else in the division is going to "man handle" Okolie whatsoever
