10

Groves made me laugh in the 7th when he observed that the fighters were starting to become a little entangled.

Good bit of action in the 10th, Light was rocked but is obviously a bloody tough sod to confidently shake that off.

Okolie looks pretty exhausted

Give Light his dues
He’s game as fook

Okolie should have a point deduction soon

A-side point deduction… gotta pull out a blade and start stabbing your opponent to get that…

Takes a point 9 rounds too late.

We're nearly there guys

Wtf is this

I have Light winning round 11 aswell. 10-8 including that deserved point deduction

Got to give Light plenty of credit. Not once has he appeared discouraged.

U need to take points early from useless wankers like okolie, make him fight or disqualify him

World title fight

thank god just finished just in time for bt main event.

This is painful to watch. Okolie is dull to watch and can’t see him doing anything at HW

Nathan heading to the ring

117-110 on my cards. Okolie has gained no fans with this one.

Okolie falls in more than any fighter I've ever seen, no wonder boos were ringing out .
Was better under Shane .

Did I hear boos?

119-108 Okolie, absolute dogsh1t, boring and predictable, I knew from about the 3rd this was a shut out fight, Okolie so basic, flick out the jab, right hand cocked occasionally dropping it, hold and lean whenever Light gets up close, rinse repeat, made it work i suppose but never looked like a championship performance, Light very poor and predictable also, took his lumps, trudged forward, decent set of whiskers but not particularly strong or fast, no plan B, the only shock was the ref actually taking a point off Okolie in the 11th, he did hurt Light a couple of times late with the right hand but too crude to get the KO

I bet Hearn is gutted he lost him lol

Indeed.
I've always been in the camp that Okolie got a boring rep from one bad fight - everyone has the odd stinker. He's got power and is hard to beat..

But tonight, he was lazy, boring and yet still gassing.
Ben Whitaker says it's his new vegan diet...!

Maybe it is tho'...?

Okolie needs unification fights… he is to boring to bother with defences even if they are domestic…

but I think he really needs to go to heavyweight soon, big lad cute lots of weight, and the skill level is pretty poor at heavy, plenty of guys 10-40th in the world okolie could hit clean with that long right hand.

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

He’s now had a good 3 or 4 very boring fights where he should have had a lot of points off for holding and leaning.

Tell the interviewer not to ask him about it.
