Thread: Okhello went the distance with Oleg, but would he have with the other champs?

Peter Okhello went the full 12 rounds against Oleg Maskaev, granted he was Knocked down, and in survival mode, but shouldn't Maskaev have gotten him outta there? I think so. I don't see Peter going the full 12 with any of the other "champs", except maybe Briggs, if he got lazy, but I'd expect Briggs to KO him too. The Okhello Maskaev fight was fairly entertaining for a HW fight though, I must admit that. There was one point where Oleg got countered throwin a straight right hand, and I was sure he was gonna be KO'd, but Okhello didn't catch him right on the chin.

This is going to sound bad...seeing that I have never seen Okhello fight...but I wouldn't really rate him due to the fact that I don't think Oleg is all that. Defeating Rahman aint that great of a thing, IWO.

That being said...I'd pick Briggs to beat him & even Valuev.

NOT with Wladdy thats for sure...

Valuev, possibly about 50-50 but leaning more towards no...
Brigss, more chance of going the distance here about 90%....

CC cus I owe ya from another thread. Maskaev ain't no bum, but his chin is still pretty vulnerable. He'd have a better shot at knocking out his fellow glass jaw, and fellow Russian, Wladimir, than Brock did lets put it that way.

In a legit ranking system, would we of been alerted to his existence ever?

Okhello's a gamer, a bit of a tough nut.
25 fights only only one KO loss,to Kali Meehan the 6'5" auzzie guy who fought Rahman in 04. Meehan has 26 Ko's in 32 wins and gets good leverage on his punchs,he can crack.

Okhello's 18 wins have 16 KO's so he's not a runner and will throw to try and get a guy out of there.

Maskaev laid a pretty good beating on the guy,Banged him up good!

The other guys vs Okhello??

Klitschko- Too big strong and fast.too technical and accurate. Against Brock once he started to actually throw the right hand the fight was over VERY quickly. Same result here. round would almost be of Klitschkos choosing.

Valuev (YES HE'S A CHAMP!!) Okhello would have a chance to ko him
but Okhello was gassed from the 10th round on and held Maskaev a lot. He'd be WAY more tired from Valuevs 325 lbs and holding would work against him vs the big leaning tower of St Petersburg.
He'd be super tired and Valuev would club him to the mat.

Shannon (the puffer) Briggs- My opinion of this guy is TOTALLY polluted by his last fight. Based on his 3 punch/round output in that fight I would pick ANY fighter to BEAT him. Including Okhello.
Hell,including Oscar,PBF,Pak,my 81 year old mother...anyone..
he sucked!

I though Okhello gave a good showing of himself and confirmed his current place as a legitimate "opponent" he's 34 years old with 18 wins & 6 losses but this outing might get him another "shot" in the near future.

Yeah Okhello was a game guy, a nice guy and a tuff guy. I give him that. He's no bum. He's just a relatively unknown, and I don't think he should have gone the distance with Maskeav. And you really need to stop overrating Wladimir, and underrating Shannon, there's not a very big differnce between the two. If they fought, it would be pretty much whoever landed a big one first to the other's glass jaw.

Just foryou I'll review some Shannon Briggs film to get this bad taste of the SL fight out of my mouth!
