    Great performance, Glowacki couldn't get near him. Okolie is a very awkward but also a smart, strong fighter. Glowacki actually looked small and ineffective in comparison. Okolie's gonna be hard to nail down for any CW.

      My observations are: 1) Matchroom guessed right that Glowacki was shopworn and done, he looked shot to me. 2) This was the first time that I saw Okolie and felt he belonged at the HW division. 3) Okolie looked better but I still don't think his skills translate to success at the top levels of HW.

        Here's hoping Hearn can get Briedis next for Okolie... if Okolie can beat him (which admittedly is still a big IF) then Hearn may be right about Okolie clearing out the division.

        In a dream world would love it if Hearn could somehow get Makabu v Goulamirian to fight each other on the same card to setup a winner v winner scenario for all the belts.

          IDK about that with Gassiev back? And Dorticus is always a tough out...

            Gassiev moved up didn't he? He said he was and his last fight was a heavyweight bout. Dorticos you have a point though.

              Okolie looked good, I half expected him to bottle it like most British fighters do when fighting for a world title.

              Breidis should be a much tougher challenge for him.

                  Good for him, he got the job done.
                  .... still a chore to watch his fights tho.
