Round-by-Round: Lawrence Okolie vs. Michal Cieslak - 27 February 2022

[KiwiRider]

Wow!
Lucky not to have a KD there.
That one punch split Cieslak's cheek.

Is there any construction work being done in England tomorrow?
Seems like every Pole in tge country is there tonight

[blanca]

Oklolie, 1 punch then hold, piss poor

[Kilburn]

Styles gelling well then.

[skanksta]

Cieslak just as bad with the holding.
Ugly fight.

[gregregegg]

okolie has a 45 meter reach but he still does that 1-2 fall in. Wish he could just keep it on the end of his jab then fire a strait bomb now and then.

[KiwiRider]

I don't want to look up what Virilax is that Okolie is advertising on his shorts.
In my mind, Virilax gives you a hard on, just before you sh*t yourself

[maverick23]

Messy fight so far. Okolie loading up too much on the right hand and Ciesla grabbing up close.

20-18 LO.

Okolie would be better keeping it at range I think and break him down with the jab and some straight rights.

[blanca]

Point off okolie for holding pls

He’s not the only one.

[KiwiRider]

Point off okolie for holding pls

Difficult when Cieslak is falling into him. It's a sure recipe for cuts

[skanksta]

30-27 Sauce.

Rough and bruising.

[blanca]

Point off okolie for holding pls

He’s not the only one.

He is instigating it. As soon as it getz close he's grabbing like a desperate girlfriend

If not mentioned already, this is on BBC Radio 5Live in case anyone is interested.

[KiwiRider]

Did Okolie get a little buzzed there in the first minute?
That was a better round for Cieslak.
Not that I thought he won it, but it was very close.

[gregregegg]

Very very messy, kinda entertaining, but at this point might as well take the gloves off, send the ref home and really go at it because its not really boxing.

[Kilburn]

Cieslak is tough enough to take risks during the exchanges, makes him dangerous(ish).

[JxhDel.]

Okolie 39 - 36 Cieslak. Both roughing it and holding whenever they get close, Sauce relying on his reach to keep the lead.

[gregregegg]

Ref should of gone home as i said, i think he is cut....

Both got rocked that round.

[maverick23]

50-44 LO. Cieslak has a good chin.

[garethhop]

Okolie awful to watch but with the constant potential of a highlight Ko

I don't want to put a damper on the guy, but this kinda feels like his level.
Definitely stay away from a unification.

To be fair this guy got half robbed (not robbed just unlucky) vs Makabu... so if this is his levle he can unify, Plus breidis is aging, and i dont know frenchy.

[Kilburn]

They could both do with a bungee cord tied between the hip and the elbow.
