    Why would anyone blame Cieslak for Okolie holding him.

    That's like Caiz Sr warning Green for trying to get out of Ward's clinches.

    They are both at fault but Okolie deserves the larger share of the blame. He throws a punch from distance, follows it with a step or two forward and is close enough to his opponent that his best option is to hold. Okolie doesn't seem to have the variety of skills or boxing IQ to do anything but hold when in close

    There's a trend in Okolies fights where his opponents always hug. They need to stop doing it, it's making Okolie look bad....

    Okolie is to blame hes a grappler not a boxer should be a MMA fighter instead . Dude makes John Ruiz look exciting in comparison.

    Hopefully a brave referee will start taking points away from them.

    Go watch Okolie vs Askin, Ngabu, and to anyone who hasn't seen it, tonight's fight too. The common denominator is Okolie and he openly admits he's a human/octopus hybrid. I genuinely felt really sorry for Ngabu in their fight and Askin got flat-out robbed.

    It's not just the incessant holding and spoiling it's how weaselly and sneaky he is about doing it. There's just zero honour in that style of fighting and I just can't respect it and he's only allowed to get away with it because he has home advantage. And the fact that he's such a massive weight bully with SHW dimensions and still feels the need to employ such disgusting, cowardly and ugly tactics just makes me have even less respect for him.

    I don't have a problem with him outside of the ring personality-wise and I watch his interviews. However, I absolutely hate spoilers, and in particular punch, immediately lunge in and grab ahold/immediately lunge in and grab ahold when you're about to punch or just before you're about to punch to ensure you don't throw a punch spoilers. It's my least favourite style by a country mile and I honestly think it should be illegal.

    Seems to me that you wouldn’t enjoy revisiting Klitschsko vs Povetkin.. I agree with everything you stated about Okolie..

    Okolie as usual introduced that element; Cieślak merely elected to combat fire in kind with fire of his own. Not a bad move strategically, either, as it got him pretty close. Maybe not with the official judges, but...with sane ones.
