Unlike lewis.Oleinik can try and sub lewis in two rounds i dont think Lewis can anymore. Even if he does it might be in the third or late second round. Not to mention that cringey video that Black beast yeah that was so not cool.
Oleinik only knows one way to fight. Watch literally every fight of his in the last 5 years. He goes forward in zombie mode, winging haymakers to either land one or allow him to get close enough to get ahold of his opponent. It was slightly altered for Werdum as he's the one and only guy that Alexei was in no rush to be on the mat with. But that's the only time we've seen him not do anything possible to get ahold of his opponent early. And it's not like Lewis is gonna use crafty footwork and dance away. He's gonna wing those massive power shots looking to take Alexei's head off.
Unless we see a totally different gameplan from Alexei than he's shown...pretty much in every recent fight, this thing likely ends early. Alexei's chin can't handle really taking any shots from a guy who hits like Black Beast, and if Alexei gets Derrick to the mat he likely finds a choke pretty quickly. People are mistakenly looking at the fact that Lewis isn't a fast starter and thinking that means the fight may drag out. I don't think that matters because Oleinik always comes straight at his opponent.
