Round-by-Round: Lawrence Okolie vs. David Light | Sky Sports - 25 March 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hearn was always good a defending Okolie after performances like this. It will be interesting to hear Ben Shaloms reaction to boos.

Hearn can defend Jeffrey Dahmer if you give him the chance. He’s a good talker.

[cormack]

okolie stinkin the hall out again , abysmal .
Credit to Light the way he took those shots flush .

Riakpore has nothing to fear

[Stobbo]

I actually did fall asleep around the tenth

I actually did fall asleep around the tenth

I switched over to the Plant Benavidez prelims after the third round - could see another Okie snoozer

[TheLeprechaun]

How many times has this guy stunk out the venue?

[watsupdoc87]

Im just home. What happened in the mckenna fight anybody know?

Dominant UD.

Cheers bro. I think original opponent pulled out late. I think mckenna is a very good prospect

[ashall2]

Fell asleep during the fight. Guessing there was no Kronk Okolie.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Twinkle Toes]

Turned it off after 9. Okolie was poor as he was last time out too.

He's doing nothing at heavyweight expect hitting the deck.

Same. I shuda turned it off earlier. I kept giving him benefit of the doubt

[ashall2]

Can’t stand that melt. Does he even have a job these days after Probellum went tits up?

Death, taxes and Sam Jones jumping straight on Zoom wearing a hat indoors like a twat to give his unwanted opinion on a fight 10 mins after it’s finished.

[ashall2]

Thing is you could just, just about get away with that style if you were likeable outside the ring but Okolie isn’t so he’ll never sell.

Has everyone woken up ? That was an absolute shocker, not like it's the first time Okolie has had a fight like that. Good luck with Boxxer/SKY making any money out of him or getting anyone interested in a fight of his.
I would imagine Riakpore or Billam Smith would have made short work of Light if they had fought him last night.

[Spud]

Light kept on plodding forward against a very poor champion.

Horrible predictable fight

He saw me off in the third round. TKO3.

Okolie got paid a million quid for that apparently.

Boxing is in the sh!t, isn't it?

[Glass Joe]

[Ruthless-RKO]

The saddest boxing night in Manchester history?

[smiling assassin]

Turned off halfway through round 3. Okolie fighting could cure insomnia.

[mickey1975]

What on earth was anyone involved thinking booking the biggest arena in Britain for The Bastarrd Sauce? It's like all common sense just flew out of the window. And if he got even close to £1m then i think people have truly lost the plot. That was a 50k fight.

[forcefraser]

Some idiot thought Okolie should be the face of Sky boxing

The guy is terrible.on the eye. Shalom done his nuts in on this ponce

[Oiky]

Okolie is very awkward and hard to beat that's about all he has going for him

Other than that, bland voice and personality and boring style, horrible to watch

Fighters don't need to be larger than life characters but Okolie just hasn't got the ability to keep someone interested in what he's talking about

[handsofstone]

Boxxer are in same boat Matchroom was a few years ago after the DAZN link up, paying ridiculous money for guys like Tevin Farmer and Jesse Vargas and spunking 7 mill for Mikey Garcia to loss to Sandor Martin ffs


But Shalom can't be too surprised Okolie stunk the joint out, undercard was dire as well, just a terrible card

[Glass Joe]

The saddest boxing night in Manchester history?

Hatton losing his final fight probably.
