[@C_R_O_M________]

Shannon's speedy left hooks were a thing to behold. I think he knew he had this guy from the get go and he purposely prolonged the fight to give them a bit more value for their money. Briggs outclassed him big time.

Great stoppage by the referee. Okine was brave, wanted to fight on, presented as lucid, referee could see that he was just going to suffer more punishment so called a halt to it. Many would have let him fight on and sustain more damage.

[@Aerojet01]

He shouldn't have been in the same ring with Briggs. A complete miss match in skill, strength, power and experience. Okine was game with plenty of heart, but that isn't enough against an elite fighter.

I could watch this fight a thousand times. Okine had no idea what he was in for. And as dumb as he was to try this, his team should have known better than to set it up in the first place.

This is more so what I expected in the Logan vs KSI rematch. Logan being Shannon. Seeing them clench and those body shots reminds me of what Logan did haha.

[@tblscene]

Okaine had power, his upper Body boxing skills weren't not that bad, but this strange stance und not existing foot work is a big Problem. Crazy to see that he can go professional with this footwork, even before he danced..

[@jackdaniels1749]

Okine's style would be acknowledged as an unorthodox way of boxing but if it works but it doesn't work so it would just be called a weird way. His shoulders are way to the side, it's almost as if he's fighting with his butt facing his opponent.

[@bladerunner1131]

On that last knock down Briggs literally made him eat his shorts after he got back up jajajaja.

what a story. Wrestled a lion in ghana and saved a women's life. In pittsburg he tried to enter a lions den to take a picture Okkk, a vivid imagination but still believable, but when he sait "The manager took him to the zoo" they overdid it and the whole story fell apart

[@SiddarthaGuatama]

How?

[@daledan-irabor3018]

Franklin there are not very many lions in West Africa as a whole... that number is even smaller in just Ghana. If you want to see Lions in that part of Africa, you probably would have to go to nature parks. Their numbers are so low that Lions are listed as endangered species in that part of the world.
