    Who would buy another despite who the main event is knowing he is on the card...

    I have never seen anything like it in my life!!!
    And he won......

    Robbery is a word that has been banded about for decades, but that was a classic example of it...

    It was that bad...

    116-110 was an appalling scorecard imo. Think it was Howard Foster?

    Yeah that card was shocking but in my opinion not as bad as referee Victor Loughlin.

    I want Victor Loughlin dragged in front of the BBBofC to explain his performance.

    Normal sky sports would be ok for a rematch. On paper it should have been a cracker. Maybe a fight before it to get it out of the system. Camacho would be a good one then askin and see if his stock has gone up.

    Worse fight in years. Just awful. Thank God I was drinking at the time.

    I think Okolie has shown a little mental weakness in his response to the fight. It seems the lad is still a little unsure of himself.

    IMO he should rep his style and play the heel. Being hated is sometimes an asset in professional sport.

    He’s only 25...

    Not interested in watching him but Klitschko pretty much fought the same way...not at British level mind you...

    People saying he is a disgrace boxing and should never box again is a bit strong is it not? He has openly came out and said he needs massive help on his inside work and has achieved a lot in the little fight he has had. Don't get me wrong, he is very boring but will be effective.

    Yes it's probably a little over the top. PTSD can sometimes have that effect.

    Chamberlain looked very weak physically in there as well for me next to Okolie
