McGregor by 9 or 10 round stoppage I’ve just seen the bookies odds for this fight which have Guerfi a 5/1 underdog. I’ve stuck £20 on him even though I would like to see McGregor win, but I think Guerfi comes into this fight with a lot more experience. Understand that ultimately it could mean nothing, but he seems to be supremely confident going by his Instagram posts etc., thought 5/1 was quite a big price for him. What makes you think McGregor stops him late? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Chris Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well that was quick! I thought McGregor would wear him down and get the stoppage late but didn't see that coming. Superb! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) McGregor Farooq rematch in the Summer is the obvious fight to make. Both fighters have a higher profile now than they did at the time of the first fight, so there will certainly be enough interest domestically. If fans are allowed back in the arenas I could see it doing similar ticket sales to what Josh Taylor had at the Hydro. Don’t know what route Hearn is looking to take Farooq down but I’m sure he’s said in the past that they are open to the McGregor rematch. Most people thought Farooq had done enough to win that first fight (hence Matchroom signing Farooq right after it) but I thought it was very close, think I scored it one round to Farooq but didn’t think it was the robbery some people made out at the time.

Shandon Par Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hadn’t see a performance like that from (Lee) McGregor coming. Hadn’t really seen enough of what Ben Davison can do but that all looked so well drilled and calculated. Bodes well for Taylor v Ramirez. Could be some fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Okolie seems like a nice boy who loves his mum and works very hard. Hope he doesn’t meet the same fate as Whyte and Dubois where the raw power and aggression gets undone by a more schooled and experienced fighter. Splintered arse here. Hope he comes through it as would be good to see him on the heavyweight scene in a couple of years as it’s sounds like that’s his natural weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’ve watched loads of his fights but in his recent ones he reminds me quite a bit of Taylor in terms of style and stature/build. Hope Taylor wins as it opens up potential mega fights at Edinburgh Castle or Easter Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he wins tonight but would be more pleased if it’s entertaining. Was really impressed with McGregor last night. More so because he didn’t just rush in and swing like f**k. Let off some tremendous combos but kept disciplined, made sure he wasn’t countered with anything too nasty and got it done. Lee Eaton poured cold water on the Farooq fight being next for me but it’ll come and it should be brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Beterbiev in to the 8th round on boxnation just now. Fair play to Deines who he’s fighting, he’s game and has come to try and win, but he’s just getting battered by an absolute terminator. Clearly very, very fit and with a great chin because he has taken some sickeningly clean body shots and uppercuts. Lost every round though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Chris Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Lee isn't far from earning a world title shot, he's done very well to climb the ladder so quickly and I don't think taking on a risky fight with very little rewards is a good idea at this stage. The Farooq rematch will always be there and given that Farooq's reputation will only grow from now (assuming they can get him properly active again) then I'd be in no rush to arrange the rematch.As for tonight, I say I'm not watching Okolie again after every fight but he was much improved last time out and having heard a very frank and honest interview from Shane McGuigan during the week I'm pretty intrigued to see how he fairs against a credible opponent. There is alot to be said for inactivity but if Glowacki is in good shape and is coming to win then it should be a very tough fight. The bookies have Okolie at 1/5, can't believe he's so short given it wouldn't really be a surprise if Glowacki won - surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Very good 4th round for Okolie there, looks really sharp and using the jab really, really well. Glowacki’s cut might force him on as well which should play in to Okolie’s hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 That is an unbelievable shot to finish it. Absolutely beautiful. An excellent performance from Okolie. Controlled the fight from the first second. Jab and footwork were outstanding. Excellent stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Chris Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Credit where it's due, further improvement from Okolie - he's come a long way from where he was only three fights ago. Controlled the whole fight from start to finish, wasn't really a contest at any stage. Glowacki did look completely finished but, to be fair, Okolie didn't let him into the fight at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
