Rozanski Vs Okolie - WBC Bridgerweight title 24th May, Poland

[SeanBrennan]

What a hideous fight imo.

I think that's just about bang on.

When debating boxing especially ex world champions like Okolie, although I have wrote it, I am embarrassed to say someone like him who has reached world title level is a hideous watch.

Do I expect too much?

I don't think you do, you've shown considerable empathy to lots of boxers. Expecting a fight to be not hideous is for me not too much to ask Spud.

Nope. Surely Okolie big favourite?

[jameswilson]

No undercard at all for this card.

They’ll obviously have their Polish prospects for the home fans but which Boxxer fighters could benefit from an outing in Poland at short notice?

[jameswilson]

Assuming he wins do we reckon a money spinner against Alen 'The Cabbage' Babic will be set up before Okolie embarks on a heavyweight run?

[handsofstone]

Remind me did Rozanski win the bridgerweight belt when he knocked fck out of Babic or is this is a vacant title?

[margaret thatcher]

ya he won it when he pickled the cabbage

[jameswilson]

Still no undercard for this at all haha. Surely it won't be a 1 fight card?

Rozanski is a fun fighter. Started boxing at 17 years old and won a few tournaments in Poland. He knocked out and retired Izuagbe Ugonoh five years ago, stopped and retired Artur Szpilka in one round three years ago and knocked out Babic last year in one round. Unfortunately he's already 38 years old and fairly inactive.

Public workout and weigh-in could tell us a little bit more about his chances against Okolie. Rozanski really shouldn't be able to go 12 rounds but he could absolutely shock Okolie and stop him.

You do worry that Okolie is gonna be even more cautious now Billam-Smith put him down a couple times

His usual holding tactics won't work in Poland.

[maverick23]

Rozanski isn’t particularly good. Pretty wild too and I’d imagine he’d have a hard time going 12 rounds.

Okolie should win but who knows. New trainer and coming back after a first loss plus in a hostile away arena.

I hope your right, its not allowed

I do wonder about Lawrence's confidence levels when the first bell rings. Getting beat off CBS, not being able to get the rematch he had a contract for, all the negative comments, change of trainers. If he doesn't get a foothold in this one early, I can see him getting stopped like Witherspoon against Bonecrusher.

[Heldenjaeger]

Both looked okay on the scales. I hope Rozanski really goes for the stoppage from the first bell.

Not really, because to be fair he does have ability and can punch a bit when he wants to, he just seems to find it too easy to drop back into that overly negative jab and grab style. There’s no entertainment value in so many of his fights
