Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 KO) will defend his title WBC Silver Heavyweight against the second level warrior Kevin Lerena (31-3, 15 KO) next month at Undercard of Oleksandr Utyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2 July 19 July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London.

LERENA: A impoverished enemy selection

It is surprising that the surroundings are factor Fight on the Utyk-Dubois 2 card to Dazn PPV. The event is sold for USD 59.99 in the USA and £ 24.99 in Great Britain. The fight okolie is a more preliminary type of fight, because Lawrence is fighting another smaller warrior and he has done nothing since his transition to heavyweight. I consider this card disappointing from top to bottom, so far.

For American fans, they expect much more based on the card than Okolie, defending Beatn Lerena, who lost to Justis Huni last year and was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in 2023.

Pay-Per-View Fan Whelms

There is a lot of money to pay one decent fight between Dubois and Usyk. The second fight that has been added today is a lightweight heavyweight match between Daniel Lapin and Lewis Edmondson. This is also not a fight with the PPV card. I also see this fight as a preliminary level. This is not the main combat card.

32 -year -old Oukalie to fight this level of the opponent can mean only one. His management does not want to risk him. His opposition has not improved since he moved to the heavyweight division in 2024.

Why not Kabayel?

Perfect surroundings Should be a challenge for Kabayel In his transient heavyweight title WBC, not fighting with Lerena Nie-Top 15. Of course, the risk would be extreme for Okolie if he fought with Kabayel, because he has talent and probably would lose him.

At least it would show that okolie is real and not only is set to a global shot, to which he made zero, to which he deserved. It’s like Derek Chisora ​​was able to fight for the title of world champion from IBF. He stood before the impoverished opposition, and now he is a mandatory claimant to the waist.

This is another disappointing opponent of the former master WBO Cruiser in Rraweight Okolie, who has been adapted to two cans of tomatoes since the transition to heavyweight.

It is surprising that WBC Okolie took first place in his organization. In his two fights in bulky weight, Lawrence threw over 39-year-old Lukasz Rozanski and Hussein Muhamed by knockout in the first round.

Edwin de Los Santos says he believes that Keyshawn Davis has already decided that he wanted to get out of their fight through the last press conference last Thursday when he pushed him away. He says he thinks Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) hoped that he would take revenge with a blow, which would cancel the fight.

De los Santos believes that Davis lost their courage at the last minute and was looking for ways to get out of it. The first method was to initiate a quarrel during weighing. When it failed, Keyshawn came overweight.

Miss weight: Davis plan?

The fight was finally canceled after Davis, 27 years ancient, did not hit the weight, reaching 4.3 pounds above a airy limit of 139.3 pounds at the weight. He did not want to try to lose weight when he received, saying that a slight division had “grew”.

“I think Keyshawn did not want to fight. If you come back and look at a press conference, I think that the reason he pushed me was to provoke me to slap him, so that he could get out of the fight, having an appeal,” said Edwin de los Santos Millcity boxing About his belief that Keyshawn Davis hoped to get out of the fight before weighing.

It is unlikely that the fight would be canceled if De Los Santos hit Keyshawn. It is possible, however, that Davis would throw something that could lead to dismissal if de los Santos were cut off by a blow.

De los Santos presented a large step in the Keyshawn class of fighters he had recently met. Since Davis’ fight with Nahir Albright in 2023, which some fans feel that they lost, fought with gentle opposition. In the fights, Keyshawna from the Albright competition defeated these fighters:

-Densys Berinchyk: Undeloar 135-Funt
-Gustavo lemos: pulled out of the 140 pounds ward
– Miguel Madueno: Fringe Contender
-Jose Pedraza: His best, 36-year-old former 130-Funts champion passed

Keyshawn looked fresh for weighing

“He looked good and could do it [made weight]But he did what he had to do to get an advantage. If you look at his figure, it looks like he was training, but he didn’t work to cut the eight, “said De Los Santos.

Keyshawn did not look like he had undergone the drainage process to remove the additional weight. He looked like fresh, equipped and did not have a skinny appearance when they went through torture to earn weight.

“I believe that he did not want to agree on the irrigation clause and the dollar for the pound [penalty] that he [Keyshawn] I did not want to agree that the fight continued to happen, “said De los Santos.

Efe Ajagba says it will be so “complex” That Terenca Crawford would move to 168 to fight in a foreign weight class, in which he never competed during his 17-year professional career on September 13. Although Ajagba believes that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is “forceful”, it will still be a problem for him in which he jumped two divisions.

Age, weight against Crawford

Crawford only recently advanced from a welterweight to junior medium weight last year. His fight with Israil Madrimov in August last year showed that his power and speed deteriorated from how he performed at the age of 147 [168]Unless Crawford develops a novel strength. This is occasional for a warrior approaching 40 and looking at 50.

Crawford’s power is inappropriate for the 168 pounds division. He could not knock out Madrimov because of the lack of pop, and now he is fighting Canelo, who fought in 175 against Sergey Kovalev and Dmitry Bivol. It’s not like Crawford can go to Walmart and buy some energy before September 13.

“He is forceful, but when you move on weight [168]It will be complex for you to fight – said Efe Ajagba Sean Zittel Crawford moves up to Two weight classes from 154 to fight Canelo Alvarez at 168.

Ajagba understands what Crawford would look like. He knows that there will be too much jump and he is not juvenile. Crawford again seems to be a 50-year-old man. He lived a challenging life in the ring, and this shows physically on him.

Canelo’s weight advantage

“When you move up to fight Canelo, this is not your weight class. You didn’t fight before,” said Ajagba. “So it won’t be comfortable, but Canelo will be comfortable in this weight to fight Crawford. I prefer to go crawford.”

The striking power of Crawford

Powewise, Bud Crawford was outstanding at the age of 135, 140 and 147, but only at the age of 154. He wisely skipped 160, where he would be dramatically unheard of, and now he would move until 168. He will be on a low spectrum and will be forced to rely on his paw as the main weapon.

Crawford cannot afford to stand in the middle of the Canelo ring because he will have holes. Crawford’s face looked like Madrimov’s “Little GGG” and is not at Alvarez.
