Okolie-Chamberlain / Cheeseman-Carson-Jones - Feb 3/02 London

[Fenster]

Carson Jones is the bollocks. Hard bastard, always in upsets/punchups, will find you out if you ain't borderline top-drawer (always gives you a run for the money).

Cheeseman is a quality prospect, a heavy handed box-puncher coasting along on the undercards of the rich kids and medal merchants (what a surprise he gets put in at the deep end first, yeah). Jones might not leave laughing at Eddie and Frank this time though.

Okolie-Chamberlain is the main event (it was meant to be Dillian Whyte-Lucas Brown... oh well). If you don't know who they are, they have beef, it's a North London ting, post codes or someink. Okolie is a bit Wilder-esque (gangly, unrefined but can put your lights out). Chamberlain can't crack an egg, however, that might not be a problem with Okolie.

Okolie v Chamberlain sounds like an interesting London duel which is getting very heated.

Carson Jones is a very good fighter and on the form he fought Kell Brook he would be too much for Cheeseman. That is a test for the prospect.

Good card.

Ah so Chamberlain has accepted the fight after Okolie said "fight me in February or never say my name again"
I don't think I know much about Chamberlain, I'll need to look him up and see if it refreshes my memory.

And it goes with out saying that I want cheesehead to win

If you didn't reply to this thread I was gonna ban you for life.

Didn't Cheeseman literally pull out of a fight with injury the other day? Carson Jones is a tough , honest fighter and has made good money in the UK. bit of a snappy dresser as well.

This is a joint promotion with AJ Boxing, that should make you Eddie-haterers happy, not long now before Eddie gets the elbow.......then signs Dubois

I have seen both Lawrence Okolie and Isaac Chamberlain fight before. Without question Okolie has more power, but Chamberlain moves more and has quicker hands.

I think this is gonna come down to Counterpunching, and who does it best. In this case, I believe Okolie just has more power than Chamberlain and can take a bigger punch than Chamberlain.

While Chamberlain may get there first, Okolie will be a half a split second after a "counter-punching punch through" and connect with some shots.

Chamberlain dodges shots good. His chin is ok, but not tested to any large extent from a puncher like Okolie at this division. However, they say Chamberlain has sparred with Deontay Wilder, and conversely Okolie has reportedly "dropped" Joshua in sparring.

I just feel Chamberlain will meet Okolie at the counter-punch crucible and while he may land a slightly later, he will land harder.

Will Chamberlain get out of the way? Box and move like Billy Joe Saunders, or like a good slick slip and move fighter can? We will see. But, if he gets caught not moving fast enough to take away some of the sting of an Okolie body shot, we may see a ko.

Not gonna call a round, but through this analysis, and considering Chamberlain's endurance to some extent, expect a 7th or 8th round stoppage TKO on the ropes.

Good fight and I am not sure who will win this one,! they don't seem to like each other roll on a good fight for the new year.

Okolie seems a bit emotional about it. Chamberlain just wants to fight and get it over with. lol....

This fight is getting very tasty.

Isaac Chamberlain takes out advert for opponent Lawrence Okolie



British cruiserweight Isaac Chamberlain has used rival Lawrence Okolie's local newspaper to advertise the 2016 Olympian as being available for work after their forthcoming fight.

The undefeated pair face one another at London's O2 Arena on 3 February.

Chamberlain, 23, took out a 'work wanted' advert in the Hackney Gazette.

Employers are told Okolie, at 6ft 5in, will be good at stacking shelves and after being knocked out by Chamberlain will be able to count to 10.

Chamberlain says he hopes the advert will help Okolie earn the money needed to follow the former's career at sold out venues around the world.

Okolie, 25, worked at McDonald's before breaking into the Great Britain boxing squad.

His previous role is noted in Chamberlain's advert under 'references', where a quote from company mascot Ronald McDonald reads: "Excelled in his position. It was good to have another clown around."

Hackney-born Okolie's last-16 exit at the Rio Games is also mocked, with the advert stating under 'previous experience': "Turned up at the Olympics, went home from the Olympics. Nice holiday though."

The bout will be Okolie's first at the top of the bill since turning professional early in 2017. He holds a record of seven wins from seven fights, while Chamberlain has nine wins from nine.

That's brilliant The build-up (sell) of this fight has been excellent, constant daily training pics, vids and stunts. Okolie flipping burgers for Cheeseman was so corny it was a cracker.

[smashup]

This is gonna really kick start the coming months and it's a great card too, Cheeseman is in a proper war so looming forward to that one and we all love a domestic grudge much.
Feb and March are stacked with some great fights.
Boxnations schedule alone is ridiculously good.

[smashup]

After watching yesterday's presser I'm looking forward to Teddy Cheeseman v Carson Jones more than the main event.
Ted has that air of Spud from Trainspotting about him but win or lose will go out on his shield.
It's gonna steal the show this fight 😉

Okolie v Chamberlain is the fight for me. There is a potential rivalry that could be Eubank v Benn or Groves v Degale there.
