FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT! 🤯 | Lawrence Okolie vs. Hussein Muhamed | Fight Night Highlights

[@FroZoneDeNiro]

Okolie with the 1930s on his toes put um up, put um up, technique.😂

[@in-trestinnetwork]

Took the words out of my mouth 😂

[@H.K.5]

He would’ve dominated that era with his style but it’s not the 30’s anymore, unfortunately for him lol

[@londonmadeeasy]

We can take the piss but he’s a two weight world champ and we’re not.

[@HenryBooth-mf2fk]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tekkn_579]

Okolies problem is how awkward his punching form is, it looks almost cartoonish at times, but he does carry great power in that right hand of his. Good stuff.

[@greenwendal5056]

He'll get found out against tougher opponents I feel.

[@H.K.5]

Yeah he goes in like a drunk man at times and ends up hugging and swinging too late

[@KnockoutweeklyKO]

Punching form? Ahh man I'm sick modern boxing fans with the stupid analogies the man is awkward leave it as that flipping heck

[@Juju_Vidya]

So Okolie basically just ate his way up to heavy weight 🤣

Yeah same as usyk did

[@TheFinishedArticle]

Whyte would destroy him

[@misterwardy1972]

2/3 years ago I would have agreed, now Whyte is shot. Okolie still relatively fresh and undamaged. Okolie would blast him out Dubois vs Joshua styleee

Was wondering how he got a pro license.

[@larrywheels762]

They got an Uber driver to get in the ring. He couldn't fight.

[@RazzTheKid]

Like a fake Paul fight! Whoever he seems to be up against seem like amateurs

[@davesmith826]

'Throw and hope' is Okolie's first philosophy. His second is 'hug and hold'. If he had any natural talent he would have learned how to box. He's been coached by people who know the game inside out - Shane McGuigan e.g. - but simply doesn't have the brain or the coordination. In that regard, he's similar to Deontay Wilder.

[@truthhurts1884]

@@IImutantII fat is more economical and requires less oxygen to mobilise than fat, also in many cases it means a lower centre of gravity because the weight is around the gut, hips and legs instead of the shoulders, which makes for a more solid base and greater punch power

[@Greg.Barrow]

Brilliant right hand 👏🏻

[@EdwinMaldonado-ie6qn]

He's the #1 customer of his own restaurant. His weight is concerning, and while he was very aggressive and calculated vs. this level of opposition, I'm hoping that as the levels improve, his conditioning and discipline match.

[@saintdon4461]

he was probably more at risk from boiling down to a cruiser for all those years

[@dwaynedibley997]

He’s in better shape than fury

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

He was chambering that right hand like crazy. Any top 30 guy puts him away easily. Look at where Muhamed's left hand was when he threw that very telegraphed right. No top guy is making that mistake.

[@siraff4461]

If he comes in with that lack of stamina and technique at any of the higher levels he's getting put away. He was already getting slow after a minute and that right that just missed him only really missed him by luck - he didn't block or purposefully move from it. He was just doing the standard go in quick then back out routine that anyone above basic gym level will soon sort out.

[@MatthewBrown-hy2pn]

He thought move up meant supersize his big Mac meal.

[@dss-2385]

[@EyeMixMusic]

This was supremely unimpressive from Okolie. Sloppy offence, sloppy defence, clearly overweight, and fought like he had no idea HOW to fight. Stood off to jab from range like a boxer then randomly waded in to brawl toe to toe. It's like he was trying out different styles because he doesn't know what he's good at yet?

Okolie is such an unusual fighter. He paradoxically looks good heavier and also odd. He probably needs to tone the extra weight more as he progresses but a decent start.
