Changing my pick to Okolie ko late regular instead of x2 as I had it

(If I change pick again I'll update this post)

Looks like no one had picked Beterbiev by late KO... another x3 partially wasted for me, shyt.

Me too,but when he didn't ko him early I started hoping it'd be late ko so nobody else would win either. after the 8th I knew at least nobody else would win because I thought surely nobody could've expected Daines to stick around as long.

Time stamp for Glowacki vs Ollie.
may the best man win!
Ding... Ding

I’m gonna go against the grain and pick Hooker, close, dec. x1

My mental activity during the fight was exactly the same! If I don't win, then nobody must win.

Deines fought at his best we must say, but Beterbiev is a beast. I suppose he wanted to get rounds after the long layoff. Really hoping to see him and Smith Jr in the same ring soon.

Agreed. I was even considering using my last x5 on Glowacki, but am not doing it because I'm not sure how the irregular KO loss vs Briedis has affected his mind. That's the lone question mark for me, otherwise I'm pretty much sure that the Polish is a way better fighter than Okolie, and has surely dealt with a superior level of opponents.

Ha, where is my slice of humble pie?

This reminded me of Lennox Lewis vs Razor Ruddock. I had never been impressed by Lennox until that night, and picked Ruddock to knock him out with ease.

Still, I can't really say if it's Okolie who rose to greatness overnight, or Glowacki suddenly showing his shot-ness...

Oh, for the record: another weekend of lost bets (on Glowacki and Hooker winning inside the limit...)

What a weekend of fights! I made a switch from Ollie to Glowacki, big mistake. Last time I losten to Richard Dwyer's advice!
