[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lawrence Okolie has dreamed of becoming a world champion many times. The vision his mind, though, always had him celebrating in front of a big crowd. If he gets his chance this year, the reality may be very different.

Yet another British fighter with zero pro overseas experience!

Huh? He's British. People start their careers where they live, man. You reckon every guy that's thinking of turning pro should up and move somewhere else?

Really dislike watching this guy's clinchfests. He and Marcus Browne are on the blacklist.

Not at all, but the occasional fight oversea's gives prospects great experience, exposure & confidence.

Oh yeah, I absolutely agree, and it's probably due to time for Lawrence, but I'm just thinking it's absolutely normal for fighters from any country with any kind of boxing Scene to have their first 15 or 20 in their home nation, especially when it's a major boxing nation. I wish fighters did travel more earlier though. Ain't unusally to see US fighters go their entire careers without ever fighting abroad, and certainly not before they reach Championship level.

I'd personally like to see some of Europe's future talent come over here & not just journeymen.

I promised myself never to watch okolie fight ever again after that matty askin fight, hes just a bigger more unskilled version of ward. Absolutely horrendous to watch.

I will be praying to the boxing gods that glowacki sparks him out.

Hey, who you picking in this one, Koba? I think Okolie can pull it off.

Lmfao at Lawrence saying he thinks Briedis should've been disqualified for his fouls.. oh really?! I would say thats the pot calling the kettle black, but I might get done for racism.

This is going to be an ugly fight. Bowling shoe ugly. Okolie has heeeeeeeeeeeeeld everytime he has stepped up. Glowacki is good, but thats about it. He caught Huck at the right time and bounced a barnacle encrusted USS Cunningham off the canvas without actually stopping him. I do hope the Pole wins tho. I doubt it, but I hope. Lawrence is the new Henry Akinwande.
