Okolie , well what can i say , NOTHING REALLY , because i simply will not watch him , i could'nt care less if he moves down to lightweight or up to heavy weight , i simply will not watch him , if and thats a big IF , i wanted to watch wrestling i would put WWF on , and watch the wrestling done proper , with figure 4 leg locks , jumping of the ropes onto someones neck, elbow first .
Can't understand why people get involved in him or his carreer , i liken it to my missis every week she comes home and complains , that woolworths have put Mcvities buiscuits up a dollar , bananas are 7 dollars a kilo , coffeee has gone up 20 cents , and i just look at her , and say so what , who cares , JUST DON'T BUY THEM , and gusee what a fortnight later when thousands of other sensible people have stopped buying them , she comes home with bananas and says , There back to 4 dollars a kilo .
What i can't understand is why boxing fans don't treat fighters like Okilie the same , DON'T BUY IT ,
hE'S IN THE FIGHT BUISNESS , HE CHOSE TO BE A FIGHTER , NOT A BRICKLAYER , so if he does'nt deliver on the entertainment side , its not up to the fans and punters to give him and his manager a free ride and an income for , supplying a substandard product , , Like i said its buisness at his level and if he will not engage in a boxing match and chooses to stink the place out time after time , well its just like leaky bob the plumber who continually leaves a job with leaking taps , STOP EMPLOYING HIM DON'T GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY , but if you do choose to employ him don't complain when you come home and your kitchens flooded

good post however one major flaw .
nobody actually buys Okolie fights anyway - he will be undercard filler or fighting a name that actually sells .

They will put any old tosh on PPV, especially heavyweights.

I think he might surprise a few people at heavyweight.
Hopefully he's active in 2025 & we see whether he can hang with the big Chaps or not

Why oh why do promoters spend the money on this sort of fight , I can understand it , if you have a 20 year old charismatic heavyweight who punches like Mike Tyson , the build him up get him Ko's left right and centre , make him an exciting fighter people want to watch , BUT Okolie , the guy is gonna stink and wrestle any and every time he gets someone who can hit him back
WHY WASTE YOUR MONEY
